Does the CRF250L's soft suspension make the bike a no go for serious off road use?
The Honda CRF250L has one of the most common complaints of its soft suspension, especially when it comes to off road use. If you tend to ride the stock suspension, expert riders will scoff at you; many riders complain that the stock suspension bottom out easily on rough terrain and not give support enough for aggressive riding. As such, there has been a debate as to whether or not the CRF250L can accurately be called a dual sport motorcycle, or if it is more of a road biased bike with a little bit of off road capability. The soft suspension, though, is argued by some to be more comfortable for everyday riding and upgradable for serious off road use. Some argue the suspension limitations are inherent in the design of the bike and that riders looking for real off road performance should seek elsewhere.
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.
