It is Motorcycle Journalist Kenny Sakawa.
Test ride this time is the Honda CRF 250 Rally.
This motorcycle was developed with the concept based on the Honda motocrosser CRF450 rally.

Wind screen and large capacity fuel tank are installed as a comfortable equipment to ride farther away.

Moreover, the stroke length of the front and rear suspension has been extended.
As a 250cc class, it is rather large size body.
Taking a ride, seat height is not bad than I thought.
The initial sinking of the suspension is large, and it will sink when riding on.

The base of the engine is the same engine as the CRF 250L.
The power is increased from 23 horsepower to 24 horsepower.
Horsepower has improved due to renewal of intake and exhaust system.
Torque is enhanced in the low rpm range.
The engine revs smoothly to high rpm range with peculiar to DOHC.
This time, I was interested in the suspension.
Compared with CRF 250 L, the rear suspension is longer by 30 mm.
By doing this, off-road running performance is improved.
Front suspension also increases the rigidity by increasing contact are

Therefore, ride comfort has changed significantly with CRF 250L.
The suspension is soft, the seat height is raised.
This suspension absorbs off-road bumps and the running performance is increasing.

When this is on on-road, you will not get tired even with long-distance touring.
The screen is very large and wind protection effect is high.

Recommended for long distance touring, it is also recommended for enjoying off road driving such as forest roads.
