Do it All, and Have Fun Doing It…
If motorcycling is all about freedom, then the CRF250L is one of the best bikes on the planet. Dirt trails, gravel roads, city streets, open highways—the CRF250L is your loyal travelling company for all of them.
If motorcycling is all about practicality, the CRF250L is still one of the best choices you can make. Awesome fuel economy. Tough, go-anywhere construction. A simple, reliable single-cylinder Honda engine with a wide powerband. An upright seating position that’s comfortable for a wide range of riders, from short to tall, beginner to expert.
And if motorcycling is all about fun, well the CRF250L is a knockout. Light, narrow, and able to take you just about anywhere a motorcycle can, we dare you to ride one and not come back with a huge smile in your helmet.
Look, no matter what you think a motorcycle should be, the CRF250L is a bike we’re sure you’ll enjoy. And the more you ride one, the more you’ll agree.
Honda Power
Here’s reason number one why the CRF250L is the best choice in its class: its fuel-injected single-cylinder Honda engine. An electric starter is convenient, and a counterbalance makes it smooth.
Tailor-Made for Comfort
Dual sports are a great choice for a wide range of riders because they’re so comfortable. Out on the trail, the CRF250L’s upright seating helps put you in control. Around town, you can see traffic, scan for potholes, and maneuvering in tight spots is a breeze.
Cost Conscious
Great mileage may not be the only reason for riding the CRF250L, but it’s a nice bonus—especially when we’re talking about getting up to 77 miles per gallon.* Ride far enough, and this bike can pay for itself! *Honda’s fuel economy estimates are based on EPA exhaust emission measurement test procedures and are intended for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on how you ride, how you maintain your vehicle, weather, road conditions; tire pressure, installation of accessories, cargo, rider and passenger weight, and other factors.
2016 Honda CRF250L www.Totalmotorcycle.com Key Features
On road or off, it’s all Honda.
One part of you probably likes the CRF250L because you know it’s going to be a blast to ride. But the other part knows it’s also super-practical, thanks to Honda engineering. While some makers might scrimp on the technology when it comes to a 250cc machine, Honda’s designers went all out.
For all life’s roads.
2016 Honda CRF250L www.Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
Engine & Drivetrain
Less vibration
A gear-driven counterbalance shaft helps quell engine vibration for enhanced rider comfort. It’s located so close to the crankshaft that the balancer weight passes between the two crank weights to keep the engine as compact as possible while improving mass centralization.
Quieter operation
The crankshaft runs in plain bearings for quieter operation and the big end of the connecting rod spins in a needle bearing, both contributing to the engine’s high-performance credentials.
Compact design
Extremely compact roller rocker arm design for the low-friction valve train allows the use of a smaller cylinder head.
Responsiveness
The PGM-FI system incorporates an Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) to smooth responses to small changes in throttle position.
Improved fuel economy
Honda’s Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) continuously monitors several variables to ensure the correct fuel mixture for the current riding and atmospheric conditions, thereby delivering optimal performance and remarkably crisp throttle response over a wide range of operating conditions, plus improved fuel economy.
Optimal performance
The engine’s wide spread of power makes the CRF250L easy and confidence-inspiring to ride, while also returning impressive fuel economy.
