But how does the CRF250L stack up as a beginner bike against the usual suspects of starter motorcycles?

Question

Being the usual choice for new riders due to its lighter weight and more simple power delivery and its versatility the Honda CRF250L is. But it’s not really like a conventional beginner bike like the Ninja 250 or Honda Rebel, either. Some new riders find the CRF250L's higher seat height and off road capabilities a little intimidating, while others say that its forgiving nature and ability to do both road and dirt makes it a great learning platform. As a result, there’s been debate as to whether or not the CRF250L is actually a good beginner bike, or if it’s better for someone with a bit of experience. These discussions deal with factors like the bike's durability and ease of maintenance and whether there is potential to grow with the rider's skills.

I began on a CRF250L and think it’s the perfect beginner bike. It’s light enough to handle, it’s manageable power, and if you drop it (which you will) it's no big deal. And trying both road and dirt riding lets you know what you really like.

If I were the guy teaching new riders, I wouldn’t recommend the CRF250L to everyone as a first bike. The off road capability might tempt new riders into situations that they aren’t ready for and the seat height can be intimidating. Pure beginners often are better off on a standard street bike.

The previous comment does not agree with me. In fact, the height of the CRF250L actually forces new riders to learn proper technique for mounting and dismounting which is critical. That means you can practice in dirt so you can learn to deal with slides and loose surfaces in a safer environment than the street.

I started on a Ninja 250, then went on a CRF250L. I wish I’d started on the CRF honestly. It's just so much more versatile, and you get a better view of traffic from the upright seating position. Plus, it's way more fun!

Rana · Answer

The CRF250L is a great beginner bike, but only if you’re a beginner who wants to do a little bit of road riding and a little bit of off road riding. They may not be the best if you’re only going to ride on the street. All it comes down to is finding a bike that matches your goals.

Barun · Answer

The CRF250L is simple for a beginner — one big advantage. It’s easy to work on, which is great for new riders to learn basic maintenance. That knowledge is priceless as you move up the ranks as a rider.

Awadhesh · Answer

The CRF250L, I think, is a great bike for beginners. It's not so powerful that it's dangerous, but powerful enough that you won't be outgrowing it any time soon. You can begin on the road, work your way to gravel and eventually some trails all on the same bike.
