I think I´ve found the perfect rural machine. | ||||||

I´ve owned my CRF250L for 3 weeks now and have just had the first service done. So far I´m thrilled with it. I purchased it because my riding is nearly all country lanes, and by that I mean tiny single track jobbies with passing places. In Hertfordshire that means completely unmaintained, pothole strewn roads that resemble a runway in a war zone. I had an ANF125 which I loved but my backside was spending more time in the air than on the saddle and so it reluctantly had to go. Honda claim 90.4 mpg, I say pah! try 95.4 while running in and so far a worse figure of 87, which includes some gentle but long green lanes. I love the very wide spread of power, the handling is good once you trust the tires and unclench your bum. I find it a fantastic all rounder, easy to ride, economical,easy to clean and ok for fairly long distances with bum ache after about an hour and a half, but I´d normally have stopped for a ciggie by then any way.It can be a bit tiring on motorways, the front end does wander about a bit but I find the trick is to grip the tank with your knees,lean forward and let the wind support you and this takes the pressure off your arms and allows you to counter steer with relaxed hands Overall I´d recommend one to anyone. |
