There’s never a bad time for a ride, as long as you have the right bike for the trip. From Saturday morning on the trail, to Friday night in the city, the Honda CRF250L is prepared for anything. This great dual-sport features long-travel suspension and an upright seating position for a great view of trails and traffic alike. Looking for the next step up? Then check out the CRF250L Rally. It ups the ante with a larger fuel tank, Dakar-inspired bodywork, handguards, windscreen, skid plate, and even more suspension travel. Choose either of these, and you’ll have the perfect bike for whatever happens next.
