The most beautiful lightweight motorcycle on the market in 2018
Finally I have got the chance to test this beautiful motorcycle. The new Honda CRF 250 Rally. For me this is the most beautiful bike on the market today. I love every detail on it. The shape, the colours, the lightweight and the 21-18 inch combination. I have it for test ride and I was a bit disappointed from the engine. I know that it was only 25 h.p, but some how I was expected that they will be enough. They might be, but definitely not for heavy guy like me. Also the suspension is very soft and the small tank, only 10,1 litters make the bike not so convenient for long motorcycle trips. Anyway, it is not my bike, but could be the perfect adventure machine for many of you.

I've said it many times already and I'll say it again. Honda should make CRF500L :) Parallel twin - a half sized Africa Twin.
That will be the perfect machine for me.
Yop, I don't have enough vacation to make trip at speeds CRF250s can do :) And for a city ... honestly if I had to commute I'd get PCX125 :) Plenty fast for city and economical :)
Yep. But I think if they do that, they will negatively affect their own sales on their flagship bike, Africa Twin. Fortunately for the CB500X you can find a rally pack, on 3 different levels, but even that costs like 2-3K euros.
Halfrica Twin
yes crf 500L mini africa twin
Hi Pavlin,
Thanks once again for a very accurate and honest review. This one is closer to my heart as I have this bike. Agreed, the power isn't great, but I do most of my riding on small rural lanes and in the hills and very little highway work. I use minimal luggage and a Giant Loop Coyote or the Kreiga OS Stuff is more than enough for my requirements and works perfectly on this bike. I'm not in any hurry and unlike you, I'm not tall (although I weigh too much!) at 5'9" and I find the screen ideal. Even with the suspension sag, I still find the bike a little tall although I'm getting used to her. I've dropped in power considerably and I haven't enjoyed my riding so much in years! I totally understand why the bike isn't for you (I think you'd love something halfway between the Africa Twin and this). Great review my friend.
Peter
Yes Peter, 500-600 cc, 180-190kg Africa Twin will be perfect for me.
I love mine. Great for country roads and off road.
pgod1960 that crf looks lovely, I am sure it is a blast to ride
Last year I went on an 1800 mile bike trip with my son, who has a 2013 Honda CRF250L. When we finished the trip, I sold my bike and bought a 2017 CRF250L model ... too much plastic on the Rally model ... stuff that would have to be replaced for a serious off-road trip. I'm leaving in 2 weeks for an epic 5,000+ mile Trans America Trail ride. Watch ANY video from the TAT, and no one ever says I wish I had a bigger bike. ;-)
I am sure about it, as I said many times before "the weight is always matter..."
Why not the rally? Just because too much plastic ?
The correct way to put it is, "the weight always matters". However, you can continue saying it your way, because I'm now very much used to the "Pavlin English"!
Thank you, Pavlin for another great video! I've watched many CRF 250 Rally reviews and yours is one of the best! I'm 63 years old, 6 ft and 180 lb and I think this is the bike for me. I haven't ridden since the '70s when I rode my Honda Trail 90 around the Santa Monica mountains in California, Pacific Coast Highway and dirt roads were so much fun so I want another lightweight bike as I'm retired now and want that fun again. Thinking of Mexico or Portugal and this bike would be perfect.
Thanks for taking the time Brian!
I am enjoying these reviews of smaller bikes. Thank you!
Thanks!
I have a CRF250L since two years ago and I have made long trips with it (heavy loaded with packages) around my country (Chile) in both on-road and off-road. Only one critic remains invariable in my mind: (very) bad pre-load of rear suspension shock, which isn't adjustable. Everything else is really good.
I am sure that it could be the perfect around the world bike for many people.
Hi from Australia Pavlin, I have watched other reviews of the CRF 250 Rally and apparently after 1000km the motor loosens up noticeably and the power is better. Also some have changed to one tooth extra on front sprocket which makes more relaxed riding on the motorway.
It will always be a bit underpowered being a 250 but like you I think it is a good looking bike and with some sensible modifications including fixing soft suspension it would make a fine bike for some people.
I would like you to do a review on Suzuki Vstrom XT 650 when you get the opportunity. I have a few bikes including 2018 model vstrom and I love it. Good power and road handling and set up properly could go most off road places. Great economy with 450km from 20 litre tank and comfortable for 120kph cruising.
I always look forward to notifications from you. One of the best if not the best TH-cam motorcycle channels to watch from around the world. I hope you get to Australia some time.
Thanks Frank! Unfortunately I cannot test the Suzuki! The dealer in Berlin is very small and they don't have many bikes for test ride. I am sure that it is a great bike and as soon I have the chance I will test it. I am coming to Australia next year.
Motorcycle Adventures I'm happy you have Australia on the list of places to visit. It is a big country with most of the population close to the coast line but there are plenty of great places to ride here. Try to avoid summer here November to March as it is pretty hot and uncomfortable to ride . When myself and mates ride in summer we usually meet at 6am and try to be home in the aircon by 11.30 am. Most of the rest of the year is quite comfortable however.If you can please let me know an email address I can contact you on. If you visit Brisbane which is capital city of Queensland I can offer you somewhere to stay and the use of a motorcycle to ride and I can give you details by email.
Australia, excellent! If you need someone someone to show you around some places around South Australia, Barossa Valley, Flinders Ranges etc I would be happy to help out. Cheers.
Agreed! It’s a great bike. I have one that I travel around Thailand with. It meets all the basic needs and is reasonably priced.
Very true.
Its a great bike.
would you use it for everyday use?
@@cloudierbus it's probably overkill and too big for Thailand.
Hi Pavlin, thanks for the review. Rode two of these with my wife for 10 days with luggage in the hills of northern Thailand. I am 1,90m/96kg, my wife 1,66m/64kg - they were great for both of us, although she had the suspension dropped a little.
Power was a bit low for me - 10-15 hp more would be great (our usual bikes are old 50hp Transalps.)
Only problem: front brake to small for me.Coming down a long, narrow, winding road off a high ridge on the Burmese border, the brake fluid boiled and I had a total front brake failure! Luckily no crash, but if it were my bike I would fit a better brake.
Good to know, thanks!
Thank you for the great review.
I have been riding the rally since one year and am very satisfied. However, after a short time I changed the exhaust (Arrow) and renewed the suspension (Hyperpro).
With this and some other mods, it is now an great bike!
And now I'm waiting for the CRF 450 Rally, or the T7;)
Thanks for watching Holger! I am also waiting for these two...
same me :)
Did you change the whole suspension, or just the springs? I am looking at buying one, but the suspension is way too soft. I wonder if springs are enough
Martin Fisker Hi, at the Rear the complete shock and at front the spring. I am 193cm and 93kg.
It is an complete new bike now!
I own a CRF250 Rally, it's a great bike for off road riding ( not for technical trails) See here the mods that i did and we speaking over a totally other bike :-)
Front sprocket 13T - Rear sprocket 42T - K&N airfilter (big difference) - YSS rear shock - full exhaust system(after market) with power bomb and ready for off road - adventure trips !!!
I am only 75 kilos and i love my crf250. Modification i did was a 13t front sprocket for more pull. Good bike.
I will agree that it is a perfect bike for someone with your size.
I rode this bike, easy to handle, user friendly, the power is non-threatening and I'd highly recommend it for city commuting or for beginners.
True, especially if they are not heavy.
Thank you for this great video again!!
There are not enough light-weight adventure motorcycles - which can easily be upgraded with travel equipment (rear luggage/suitcase rack, high windshield and so on) - with approx. 450-500 ccm engine displacement on the market. The manufacturers should offer more of those bikes especially for people with short legs as well as for people with a SMALL budget...!!
I will agree, but...the manufactures give what the market wants...
Pavlin, another great and HONEST review. These are very valuable just for that honesty, thank you. Is there any chance for you to test the Royal Enfield Himalayan? Can you get hold of one? I would be interested in your opinion of it, with a lower-revving engine and not trying to go with fashion I think it might be a useful machine. Anyway, thank you again. Les in UK.
I am sorry Less, but I cannot. No dealer in Berlin.
Motorcycle Adventures fine Pavlin, thanks anyway. I see from the comments others also wanted you opinion on the Himalayan! I want to hear your comments on the CB500X, could be a good subject for review! Les
Leslie Austin RE Himalayan BS 3 version has failed in India due to magneto coil issues.Also braking is not adequate...RE said they improved in their latest BS 4 version..
TheMotorman thanks. Yes, we have heard the stories of the BS3, but the BS4 seems to be a better job altogether. A pity Pavlin can’t get hold of one, as they look to be an interesting alternative. If I had the money I would already have bought one. More power to RE for daring to be different. Looking forward to the CB500X test, Pavlin.
Les
You have really some great reviews on your channel! Very honest and detailed. Looking forward to new uploads!
Thanks!
Great bike. I have one and suits me perfectly, I'm only 73. kg and 5'11
Just got back from a week of camping on it with about a 20kg load.
Yes, it is perfect for that purpose.
Enjoyed the review! If you were going to outfit this bike with luggage what would you recommend?
Soft, as light as possible.
Hi Pavlin,
Great review as always. Are you wondering to test the new royal enfield himalayan adventure Bike in this light weight comparison? I have one and really like to know your opinion. I also asking you where can I find your book here in Portugal. Can you shipping it here?
Please continue the great job and great adventures.
Regards,
Gonçalo Gomes
Hi Goncalo, I cannot test the Enfield, because we don't have dealer in Berlin. The e-book could be ordered from my website and I also have hard copy in Amazon, they ship worldwide: rtw-adventures.com/books-1.html
Thanks Pavlin, if you're coming or passing to Portugal in road trip I'll lend you you mine for you to test and give you you and you trip mates a house for the night.
Gonçalo Gomes , how's your ride ? . hope you are having fun 🚺
did you faced any problems
i heard lot of issues with RE Himalayan in India like gearbox failure, rusting ,broken clutch lever or electrical issues . I wonder how come they export good quality bike to foreign countries and sell faulty product at home .
@ pavan kumar: Himalyan B4 is a much improved version, thats why it took a while before exports were shipped. The issues you are talking about almost all are the older india only version.
Waiting for a WR250R review. It would be nice to hear your personal toughts. Thanks for everything about this channel. Ur the best.
No test bike in Berlin, sorry!
Sorry to hear that. You are missing the best (: Not as powerwise but as a proper dual-sport.
Thanks for the review Mr Pavlin...I have some questions?.
1. Is the engine single cylinder air cooled or water cooled?
2. How much is the seat height? Can a person with a height of 5'5" manage to touch the ground after sitting on the bike?
It is single cylinder water cooled. You will be fine. The seat is 89cm, but when you seat you will compress the suspension and you will have flat feet.
Hello Pavlin
Can you please do a review of Swm 650 superdual ?
Thank you for everything. Big fan of yours from Nepal.
I cannot, no dealer in Berlin, sorry!
Hi Pavlin! Greetings from Transylvania. I really enjoy your videos, a lot of helpful information. Did you have the chance to have a look at CRF 450? I'd be curious what do you think about that? I'm not really planning to buy a new bike as my old Africa Twin RD07 serves me absolutely well but out of curiosity, I like the looks and specs of the CRF450. Keep riding man! And enjoy your next trip to Australia and NZ. Looking forward to those kiwi videos :D
I saw it in Zurich exhibition, but it is just dirt bike. Small tank, narrow seat and no windscreen. It could be converted for traveling, but will be to expensive.
@@motorcycleadventures I think you're right. The guys on Dakar don't need to carry any luggage and are not riding with a passenger. Prices are really high for any new bike that could be a fit for adventure riding as the new Tenere or Africa Twin. But as I said I don't mind riding an old bike, at least this one is proven to be durable and last. All the best my friend!
@@motorcycleadventures but isn't there a rally version with bigger thank and windscreen like on the 250?
Not yet. Maybe next year.
Thanks for making this video. 1 question. CRF 250 Rally or Versys X 300? I am 182cm 83Kg. Thanks infonya advance.
Well done sir, I trust your impressions... thank you for the review! I am about to get one of these.
You are welcome anytime!
Another excellent and very fair review. I was disappointed to hear you say that it's not really suitable for very tall guys like me (2m). I shall keep on looking! Thank you Pavlin 👍
No it is definitely not for tall guys.
Great review, Thanks Palvin. Would love to know about the AJP PR7. Any chance of finding one of these?
Not in Berlin, sorry!
Great review!
Thanks for your honesty.
Are you going to review the royal enfield himalayan??
No, no dealer in Berlin.
Motorcycle Adventures No problem. Thanks for the reply👍
I have this bike. The front forks actually has springs on one side, the other is just gas. The small gas tank can be replaced by a larger aftermarket Acerbis transparent tank. Not much power yes, but it is light enough to get you through extremely muddy conditions. Good starter Adventure Bike if you ask me.
Agree.
Itchyboots drives a crf250 l in South Africa now.... and in the meantime I also drive the crf2019 model black. I am very satisfied with it! Good interview
Thanks!
The CR is a downmarket XR. I have Baja 250 air cooled carb model rated at 28 but junk the factory muffler and it is probably good for 30 Hp. Ten position damping on the rear makes for easy adjustment the only real handling difference is the upside down forks on the front of the CR, but I can leave them behind with ease. You need to get to know the engine as it has a very small power band and you need to chase the gears. Mine has 12 litre tank standard and they also made a 400cc version. Sad that they stopped developing the Baja as it is an exceptional bike. I miss being able to pick up the front wheel with ease but the stock front end seems to absorb ridiculous stuff with a full throttle squirt. I weigh 79 kilos/182 cm.
Lander from Yamaha is a great motorcycle, 250cc with just 120kg of dry weight. Almost the perfect motorcycle, but it has only 11 litres of gasoline as tank capacity. Still it's a great motorcycle.
Thanks for sharing!
Buffeting not buffering lol I like your reviews Pavlin and your English language makes me laugh in a good way!!
I am sorry, but...I am trying harder...thanks!
Great series of reviews, Pavlin
Thanks man!
It's a simple and peaceful bike.
🌻🇮🇸
True
Thank you for your honest review. After a small motorcyles trip with an older crf 250 in Thailand. I spend one second that I can change my bike for this Honda and much lighter bike. But I think that could be a big mistake. I think the difference to my 800 GS is to big. This video open's my eyes. best regards Otti
I am glad that you like it and it was useful for you.
I have a 2017 Rally. I have put about 2000 kms on it. I agree with you that it is under-powered, and that the windshield is too small. I am 5'7", 115 lbs so I had the bike lowered. Thanks for sharing that the suspension may be too soft for heavier people. Your review is very good.
Thanks!
Agree, im 173cm and about 56kg, for a medium or maybe..small person like me it's a big bike, but for taller and heavier person the bike need a litle or couple of adjustments
I don't have the bike tho..it's my friend's bike 😂
Had great 84 XL250.. Great motorcycle with the same power, you're correct assessment, great motorcycle except when riding in higher altitudes..
Always taught 450cc would be just about right..
This bike really isn’t aimed at touring market is it. I look forward to the CB500 X. I ride a CB500 2 which is great for me being small, I wonder how you will find it suits you. Personally I don’t like the off-road looking bikes like the CRF250, I prefer the bikes dedicated to touring for looks really. Good upload.
Yes, it is mostly for off road fun.
And why cant you tour with this ? Added a bigger tank and you're good 2 go
A great report and a nice bike. Yet it proves that my modified KLR Super Dakar is one helluva perfect adventure motorcycle. It does it all.
The best adventure bike is the one we have in the garage...
I went on a crf250l from Magadan to Capetown. Flew in Japan, bought bike for 1500 usd and tranfered to Magadan for 500. So my adventure started from 2000
Whatever works for you...
Great test as usual. I wonder when you will test the Honda CB 500 X which is considered as the cheap GS in Thailand. you can buy 4 500X for the price of a 1200GS there, and me and my friend we are happy with this very good compromise:cheap to buy and use, not heavy and so many accessories at good price.
I already tested the CB 500 X. The video is coming on Tuesday.
Thank you Pavlin. I will check and be one of the first to see the vid.
I think you can keep it at 120km/h, no reason not to. If you buy a cheaper motorcycle it's much easier to maintain, so you can abuse it a little bit.
It is not exactly like that.
Hi Pavlin. Thanks for the review, I really like the CRF250L Rally as well, and there aren't a lot of well done reviews out there, at the moment. Regarding the fuel economy, I don't about the crf250L, but you'd be surprised how much Honda developed in fuel economy. The best fuel consumption I got, like on any bike, ever.. was on a Honda CB500X, a mind boggling 2.7 L / 100 km. So I wouldn't be surprised if they are right about this one at 3 L / 100 km.
Agree
Got one, and have to agree with virtually all you have said. They are great for around town and forest trails, and fine for shorter adventure riding trips- say 200-500 kays sort of runs. Definitely under-powered (and I'm a lightweight), and way to heavy for class / size of bike. The same bike, but with a 450 cc motor, would be would have ticked a lot more boxes for many. Great non-biased review mate.
Hi Pavlin (again this evening 😊)! I was interested in this motorcycle too, but I didn't buy it for all the reasons you have nentioned (we have about the same size, I'm a little bit shorter). The new CRF 300 RALLY seems to be a little bit better ... 27.5 HP, 12.5 L petrol tank. And the price is still good taking in consideration the option we have on the market. Definitely a 450 CRF would be much better! Wish you all the best.
Well, let's see it first. Thanks for taking the time again!
@@motorcycleadventures 👍👍👍
Have 2017 L model. Being 76kg 179cm bike is perfect. Changing front sprocket from stock 14 to 13T, adding KN filter and aftermarket exhaust bike is zappy
Good to know, thanks for adding!
Hi Pavlin,
Great stuff, i like your channel very much. Very honest and no BS... I am planing to buy a first motorcycle in one year or so and was considering this one but it has it's minuses. I am 35 years old, 1.92m and 90 kg, in good shape. I have tried a lot of models but I am limited because of my size. Can you give me a suggestion. Africa twin Adventure Sports fits me perfectly but as a first bike I think it would be very dangerous. Yamaha Tenere 700 seems the sweet spot (the money would not be a problem) but I even fear that one...
The CRF250 Rally is of a good size but i need to buy a full suspension kit, front and back, taller windscreen, lover footpegs, full exaust system, higher custom seat. In the end it would cost me close to 9000 euros and really, for that money I could buy the Tenere 700. Do you think it is a good ideea? (I have to tell you that I like speed. I am not crazy about it, but like you said in one of your videos, if you can speed, you will eventually do it. And this is why I am afraid of)
Well...that is true, if you have fast bike you will ride fast. Considering your size I will suggest to stick into 600-700cc single cylinder no more than 50h.p at least for one year.
Pavlin well done - Honda do a quality product, l wonder how you go with testing the Yamaha WR250R
I will do it soon
Great review enjoyed watching I’m 200 pounds 5-10 own the rally it’s a great bike smooth power Just have to keep the RPMs up a little bit which adds To the fun it’s perfect ergonomics probably tighten up the rear shock a little happy riding
Thanks for the info!
I was thinking to buy but what a perfect review cleared my points
Good bike, but the engine is anemic and fuel tank is too much tiny. A 450cc engine and 17 liters tank would be perfect.
Agree...
weight is enormous! at least 20kg more than a 17 years old model like the suzuki drz
it a good bike for off and on road but on road it's hard to push the bike to 120 km/h but when i change tire into 17 inch road tire it can push up to 135cm/h.
Good to know, thanks!
Good review, thanks. I think a big bore conversion and a ported head, hot camshaft etc. would transform this bike
I am in love with that bike, but totally agree with your arguments. 💫, it is perfect for enduro traveling on gravel roads, of course people are waiting for the more powerfull 400 cc version
True
Best looking bike in this class by far. 120kph at 7500 rpm should mean 80kph at 5000rpm, which is faster than I go on dirt trails. Being able to bottom out the suspension in two bounces is great for off road, closer to a trials bike setup.
Yes, 80 or 90 km/h will be the perfect speed for that bike.
Hey buddy
great review,,I like my yamaha WR250r , it's taller and has a more dirt bike feel
don't know if you have ever rode one of those ,,takes everything alaska can throw at it
ride safe my motorcycle brother ,,LIKED ( thumbs up )
No, I never had the chance to ride it.
Nice series of reviews Pavlin and like you I really like the Honda and agree a little under powered
True
nice review, you definitely should check out the SWM Superdual
I cannot, no dealer in Berlin
I kind of like it, but the lights look like it is wearing goggles. Looking forward to the CB500X review as I have owned one for the past 5 years and the model you will ride is the slightly upgraded version with better suspension. Although with a Rally Raid upgrade this bike can go anywhere. I even get 300 miles to a tank.
The bike is really nice. Not exactly my type, but very good machine.
There is a 300 kit. I would go for the normal 250l, not the "Rally". Cheaper, lighter, less plastic. For small budget this bike is perfect.
Agree
I know V Strom 250 will be one of the next ones. But please do aswell review the new 650 V-Strom. Would love your opinion on it
I am sorry, but I won't. The dealer of Suzuki is very small here in Berlin. The test ride bikes are just few and it's not easy to get one. I don't think that I have seen V Strom 250 here.
Great Review. I like Honda - they make very reliable bikes.
True
Great review again 👍👍
Thanks Paul!
What do you think about 305cc stroker kit for this bike? With this kit we can gain 12-14hp more...
Great review! Can you also review the crf 250l (not rally)?
No need, it is basically the same bike with 8l tank and 20mm lower suspension travel.
How does it stand against the Yamaha wr250rr? Would you care to test it as well ?
Also, what would you recommend instead?
I have plans to test this Yamaha soon. I cannot tell anything at the moment.
Really want this bike but my weight fluctuates between 210 and 270 some years - just depends on the season and jobs that are being done here in Alaska. Perhaps an effort should be made to get under 200 and stay there.
Thanks bro for giving us this video so soon
You are welcome!
Excellent review, as usual! I really like this bike. I just need a bigger budget and garage for all the bikes I would like to have. As you and many others have said ... if it was a 400-500cc it might be the best bike of this type out there. Turning off ABS on demand, while riding, is something all dual sport machines should have, in my opinion.
Very true
i hit 108 kmh on my Honda Grom ! btw , great video , alot infos . awesome !!!!!
Thanks!
Hi Pavlin, really a nice machine, but indeed to less power. I guess or hope, the suspension can be adjusted harder ... Ride safe, Hans
Yes Hans, it has no power at all.
My weight and luggage comes to about 100 kg. I'm really liking these reviews - real world GVWR.
I don't know what "GVWR" means, but thanks!
Thank you. I have to look it up myself, but it's a payload rating and I think sometimes used on motorcycles. May be on frame downtube?
Things as : windshield , luggage rack , bar risers , nice footpegs , center stand and such - bike manufactures as a rule just don`t supply with stock bike . The altogether different question - why manufactures even allowed to do that ? - to put on market incomplete bikes . For example my Honda NC700X had no windshield to speak of , no luggage rack whatsoever , not even center stand .
The same goes for suspension , fuel tanks , Whoever buys bike for adventure riding , knows that upgrades are a MUST . i just was surprised that you mentioned those shortcomings in your bike reviews , as if they were not universal , common , accepted by everyone as a norm occurrence on any stock bike .
Honda CRF250 is beautiful , as well as XR 650L . Wanted to get it badly . Almost bought CRF250 , but … i live in NYC , Harlem - it`s worse than your merkel Germany - they would`ve stolen it before i even register the bike .
I think , it is not your bike not because you tall ( 6 ft is not really that tall ) or heavy ( american heavy = 104 kg and up ) - you can upgrade suspension , bar risers and lower pegs - and be just fine . You are just very advanced , very experienced adventure rider - and used to appropriate advanced adventure motorcycle . Off course you need the best , powerful , super adventure bike .
Nice as always review .
What I need is a simple machine with 500-700cc, no more than 200kg with some off road possibilities. No need of all that electronic shit, even the ABS is not a must. That's it! I don't think that it's too much, but unfortunately I don't see it on the market today. I really want to test the new Tenere 700.
I am 175cm tall and have 65 kilos. I think this bike will suit me fine :D
I am testing it this week, most likely gonna trade in my 600 Monster for this.
Right decision, it will suit you just perfect.
I got it today, thanks for the good review, i am happy with the motorcycle.
It's a dirt bike with lights on it for city people . City folks have always maid Honda and they did very well . Thanks All
Agree
Pavlin the new Tenere 700 World Raid bike started a world tour starting in Australia, I believe it will go on sale in Australia at the end of the year.
Good news, I hope to see it soon in Europe as well!
Большое Вам спасибо за прекрасный обзор этого великолепного мотоцикла! Извините, что пишу на Русском, мой уровень английского достаточен лишь для того, чтобы улавливать смысл реплик, но я не могу не сказать этого:
ВЫ ЕДИНСТВЕННЫЙ ЧЕЛОВЕК, КТО ДАЛ ПОСЛУШАТЬ ЗВУК МОТОЦИКЛА, ОГРОМНОЕ ВАМ СПАСИБО
Пожалуста Александр!
Chiao Pavlin
Thanks for the reviews on your. Light motorcycles.
Perhaps you can ASK or do reviews on KTM
200 - 390 or the New DUKE 790.
Would love to See those in your Chanel
Thanks Rini
I have plans to test 390 KTM.
Good reviews honda crf 250
Thanks, man!
Nice bike, wish it was a 400-500cc though. I had a Kawasaki KLX250 which is similar. It is a cool little bike, but a little underpowered. With a bigbore kit its really awesome though.
Agree, 500cc on this frame will be perfect.
The 450 version is out late 2018 or early 2019 I’ll look forward to seeing this
please check the street legal gasgas 250 enduro. tolles review mal wieder, danke!
I like the CCM GP450 weighs only 125kg has awesome suspension but is a bit pricey
It is 125kg dry, when you add 20l of petrol, 3 l oil and 1l antifreeze it will be 150kg, which still very light, but yes, you are right, it is pricey.
Ha haha. Now honda made it's own and now 450 cost more than CCM

Thank you for another honest and very true revue. There is currently no new mid-sized light weight motorcycles available, something many people, myself included, are waiting for. The anticipated Tenere 700 should solve that problem. The KTM 790? Well, KTM makes the best Rally motorcycles but they have no idea how to make adventure motorcycles. Just look at their slogan to confirm that. An adventure is not a race and their motorcycles echo their slogan perfectly. Not a bad thing, just a question of an identity crisis.
True
Two mid size bikes worth a look would be the SWM super dual X and the AJP PR 7, 50 HP and 160-170 kg, with a good price.
None of them are unfortunately available in Africa
Gerhard Combrink bit of bad luck, SWM looks very good.
Nice bikes I lov this Honda 👍👍
it would be great to compare this CRF 250 Rally with the Royal Enfield 410 Himalayan
I cannot, I never rode the Enfield.
Kindly make a review of Royal Enfield Himalayan 400, if possible. Thanks
No dealer in Berlin, sorry!
great stuff, but the 450 rally wont be 5k bike itll be a lot lot lot more expensive..
For proper touring honda wants you to have the Africa model..
Thanks for this review, I am curious about CB500X. It is on my list as my possible next bike. I am wonder what you think abnout it and if You could look on this bike also as a short-middle range courier bike (runs in the busy traffic and long distance dires up to 800km with a big box like 60x60x60cm).
Have a lovely weekend.
Kind Regards
Michael
Thanks for watching Michael. The CB 500 X review is coming on Tuesday.
Loved it on my Test Ride over 230km.
Good.
When T7 comes out will fill in all these gaps people are talking about.
I hope
I'm 194cm and I have real problem finding a good long distance motorbike that is still lighweight. Do you think that tenere 660 is big enough?
If I say no, I will lie, of course it is good. It is the tallest bike on the market at the moment.
Simplest way of finding that would be planting yourself on the bike, I guess you could ask local owners to try it. Tenere is remarkably tall motorbike so it should fit you comfort wise. Its not the lightest motorbike, though some weight savings can be done.
True
:D
First of all you are two times too heavy for this motorcycle. Second, this is not travel motorcycle but great city and off-road fun-bike. Looks perfect. I am curious about your opinion about CB500X (I have one) but take into consideration that you are too big for this motorcycle too, but for women... If this CRF had CB500X engine, it would be fine. CRF 250 two-stroke could be a devil.
This is exactly what I think. I already tested the CB 500 X. The video is coming on Tuesday.
Hey give me a suggestion should I go for wr250r or this bike
Performance and weight, go with wr250
i think the low power has to do with the euro4 regulation. the engine is surely capable of min. 30hp but throttled down to 25 because the stupid pollution restriction. that makes no sense for a motorcycle with a max fuel consumption for about 3 to 4 liters.
I will agree, but...
Great information! Please tell me your inseam.
Good job om😁
Amor amor amor!!! Lo maximo!!
