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.
