Could the Honda SFA 150 change the face of motorcycle parking in crowded cities?

I'm skeptical. Of course it will in some places, but most cities are having trouble keeping up with maintaining their current infrastructure. It seems unlikely that we'll add a whole new category of parking.

Delivery riders could really benefit from this! Their jobs would be so much easier if parking spots by restaurants and businesses were smaller and dedicated.

The concept is great, but I’m afraid it will blow up in my face. But if it's too easy to park, we run the risk of even more congestion if everyone switches to bikes.

Why stop at parking? So, let’s redesign entire lanes for smaller vehicles like the SFA 150. It could be a revolution in urban traffic flow!

As a car driver, this is something I'm all for. More car parking for me means more motorcycles in dedicated small spots.

An interesting idea, but I don't think it would work in cities built from the ground up with this in mind. It would be a nightmare trying to retrofit existing cities.

You’re all assuming that the SFA 150 will even make it to production. Honda has a way of showing off cool concepts that never see the light of day.

This works really well with public transit. Imagine your SFA 150 parked easily at the train station; you ride your bike to the train station and continue your journey. It would solve the "last mile" problem.
Is the CRF250L's fuel injection a big advantage over carbureted dual sports?
24 January 2025 09:44
I can say that, as someone who’s owned both carbed and fuel injected dual sports, the CRF250L’s fuel injection is a game changer. There is no more fiddling with chokes in the cold mornings or rejetting for altitude changes. It just works, every time.
Is the CRF250L's fuel injection a big advantage over carbureted dual sports?

I disagree. Fuel injection is nice, but not worth the simplicity trade off. With basic tools, I can fix a carb issue on the trail. When your fuel injection system goes out in the middle of nowhere, you're out of luck. Sometimes adventure riding is better when it’s simpler.

This makes the CRF250L a great bike for everyday riders because of the fuel injection. Carb cleaning and syncing are a thing of the past, and you get better fuel economy and smoother power delivery. The benefits far outweigh the risks, unless you’re planning on crossing Mongolia.

I believe people overstate the fuel injection reliability problems. Modern systems are incredibly robust. But I’ve put 40,000 miles on my CRF250L without a single fuel system problem. I can't say the same for my old carbed bikes.

Consistency is the real advantage of the CRF250L's fuel injection. Wherever you are – sea level or 10,000 feet, freezing temps or scorching heat – it all starts and runs the same. The peace of mind is worth a lot when you’re far from home.
Is the CRF250L's fuel injection a big advantage over carbureted dual sports?

I live at high altitude myself, and I'll never go back to a carbed dual sport. Because the CRF250L is fuel injected, I can go from the mountains to the desert and not have to rejet or worry about losing power. This is a gigantic quality of life upgrade.
Is the CRF250L's fuel injection a big advantage over carbureted dual sports?

It depends on what you are looking to do. The CRF250L’s fuel injection is perfect for the daily commuter with a little trail use thrown in. To me though, the argument of a simpler carbed system for a hardcore adventure bike that could be faced with sketchy fuel in remote areas makes sense. You need to know what your needs are and choose accordingly.
Does the CRF250L's soft suspension make the bike a no go for serious off road use?
24 January 2025 09:44
I can say that the soft suspension is noticeable for sure, but it's not a deal breaker because as a guy that has taken his stock CRF250L on some gnarly trails I can attest. All you have to do is ride differently and choose your lines better. It’s about the rider, not the bike.
Does the CRF250L's soft suspension make the bike a no go for serious off road use?
24 January 2025 09:44
I disagree. While I attempted to use my CRF250L for some moderate off roading, the suspension was a huge let down. On rocky terrain it doesn’t inspire confidence and bottoms out on even small jumps. If you want to ride off road, get a dirt oriented bike.
Does the CRF250L's soft suspension make the bike a no go for serious off road use?

In fact, the soft suspension is actually a blessing in disguise. I find it makes the bike a lot more comfortable for daily riding and long trips. Not everyone needs a race ready, stiff suspension on their dual sport. It’s perfect for the average rider who hits dirt roads every now and again.

I also believe people forget that the CRF250L is supposed to be a beginner dual sport. It's not going to have top notch suspension out of the box of course. The beauty of that, though, is that you can upgrade the suspension as you get better. It's a bike that you grow with.

Upgrading the springs and having the suspension professionally set up, my CRF250L is a beast off road. So, yeah, it’s an extra expense, but it’s still cheaper than buying a more expensive bike from the start. Just because it has stock suspension, don’t write it off.
