Been telling my friends this for years you just dnt need 1000cc well done you 👍
Most riders who want 1000cc adventure bikes are fat dudes. But they are just making it worse: almost 500 kg on mud or sand?! Getting stuck 90 % of the trip
@@elguitarTom i am a big guy and i would love a small chlynder adventure bike it would ve lovely if i could fit in this honda
yeah there is a bloke going going around the world on a c90
@@markilleen4027 c90adventures I think that's him. Also watched the dudes from revzilla on a c90 and a c125t travelled all the way to Alaska. Crazy!
Love your story.
Makes me think about my life.
Wow, all I can say is "How I admire you!" I would love to tour around the world on a motorcycle but you are in a league of your own!!!! Awesome!
***** Touring the world by motorcycle is definitely a life lasting experience.
+HondaVideo and i would love to do it with my CRF250L - unfortunatly money would be a big constraint for me ):
I took the crf250L on the trans America trail last year and made it from NY to Arkansas. Gonna finish it up next year on this awesome little bike. Love it. This bike rocks
This lady is an inspiration. Hope she enjoyed her adventure.
Jealous.
Makes me happy to be a 250L owner. I hope she completes her adventure good luck.
I've had my CRF250L since 2013. Great little bike. It's the perfect choice for your adventure, and for all the reasons you described.
ive had 4 bikes in my life 2 Yamahas, a 360 and 400 single 2 stroke thumpers amazing bikes, then two 4stroke Kawasaki dirt bikes, a 250KLX then a 450 off road but now im looking into this my first Honda. love this video thanku good luck on your travels u are a lovely lady.
So fantastic Steph - I am watching this knowing that you are days away from London and your victorious return!! You will go down in History.
I purchased my Honda CRF 250L as my first bike since 1972. I am 62 now, and have found new but different joy in riding. I ride the backroads of Sonoma County, CA and love every moment of it. Great beginning bike for someone who hasnt ridden in so long.
Thanks for sharing, sounds like a great place to enjoy with a great Honda model! And we're happy you've rediscovered the joy it can bring!
Just bought a used CRF250L with 3,700 miles & lot of upgrades. Just got my permit & insurance. Can't wait to ride with my buddy this weekend. Aloha from Hawaii!
A good rider wont need a 1000cc..you go girl... go go go...have fun Steph x
Good luck and Good riding Steph. I'll be following if I'm not out riding.
Good luck on your great adventure ! ! I have a 250L ordered can't wait to get ridding too.
Steph, you are an inspiration. Look forward to following your world travels
Good job miss Jeavons. That kind of adventure is in my dreams.. Greetings from Turkey..
Awesome! Your adventure reminds me of Lois Pryce and her adventure on her 225cc bike. I think a smaller bike makes a great deal of sense as long as you are not in a great hurry. Best of luck.
It looks epic. Please keep us posted. Best of luck.
You are absolutely right on the smells you can pick up you would have missed in a car. When a friend and I crossed from the U. S. to British Columbia, as soon as we crossed the border the scent of millions of fir trees was noticeable. It smelled like Christmas instantly. I would have missed that in a car, and the experience would have been much different.
What an amazing adventure you have ahead of you! Wishing you the best of luck all the way RTW!
Good luck! I'm sure the CRF will take good care of you!
Just got my 2017 CRF250l and I'm loving it!
Steph proves small bikes are better all round! Great fun on small bikes! 😎🏍
Respect , go for it ! Yes so true , a light bike like you have is the way to go . You can pick it up and go many places where the big heavy bikes can not . Be safe ok and enjoy the trip .
Truly epic!! :) Really cool to see on a light bike as well lightness is brilliant.
I bought your book! Just stumbled on this! Lovely to see you speak x
Very nice tellings and views..thanks.
Great adventure! All the best to you!
And I agree with regards to choice of the bike. Small, light, nimble and very user friendly machine. Not the usual 1000cc+ heavy locomotive that lumbers around like a diesel tractor.
Wow ! I love it . Respect and admiration. If you come France let me know . Welcome
On behalf of Steph - thanks for the kind invitation!
I want to do a journey like her!!!!
CRF250 is light weight and tough. Especially, a weight is important for me.
When I have a journey with motorcycle, I will ride Honda CRF250L or M!!!!
HERI HAO hi mate believe me that bike is a pile of horse shite rode them for years in thailand its a shopping bike 145 kg about 20 hp poo poo poo
Good choice!
Love from Greece. Go on , live your dream.
A great video. And a great adventure. If you ever need free lodging in western Canada, I have had numerous Adventure bikes and I have been riding for 41 years. 😀
We bet there are some amazing roads and trails in Western Canada! What an amazing part of the world to live
I've been searching my Whole life For a woman like you Women like you are very rare you should feel very proud The your ventures be for feeling good luck on your quest
I hardly ever met anyone, who picked her bike so wisely. God luck, Steph.
I ride a KLX250 all around Europe and I know, that the Honda will be a good and reliable ride for you. Have fun!
PS: That's an interesting rack up there in the front of the bike. What is it...?
Wow, diese Frau imponiert mir und welch ein tolles Bike das ist. Eine echte Enduro eben...!
I have been following your journey updates on the form..Pretty awesome trip. Keep the updates coming
well done to you,,,, I am so proud when women do big things
Godspeed Steph! you're an inspiration!!
Yup, that's a good adventure bike choice. Low weight, long range, reliable, simple and one thing people don't pay attention to is cheap tires... I now use a KTM 500 for the same type of riding and gave up my perfectly set up 990 for it...
I bet that was a trip of a life time. Awesome 👏😎
Fantastic.. ultimately reliability matters more than size really and lightness is always helpful. Have a great trip.
Go for it Jeavons...just drop a mail whatever and whenever you need..
Lol, I've ridden a dirt bike once I was 4 years old. the best crash of my life. I was completely fine but messed up my body armor when I was going 70 per hour. Today I'm still riding bikes mostly the 250L and the 250L Rally with the yz250 Yamaha. when people crash you either learn from it or give up. trust me once you are good at dirt biking or motorcycling you won't crash I've never crashed my bikes for 8 years. I hope all motorcycle riders have a good day.
OMG..you are Steel Women no doubt..huge inspiration..Lord Bliss You..yes The Dreamer..
awesome, can't wait for the next vid! keep them going.
brave soul. Respect.
I used to rent this bike in Thailand, it's pretty cheap over there, around 20$ a day. She's right, it's a great dual sport, you can go off road without a problem. The only issue for me was horse power. It's really, really weak, you push the throttle and it has little power. It's a pity that Honda doesn't produce a 450 cc bike of the same kind. The 450 CFR (no "L") is a dirt bike, and it can't be used on the streets for long distances.
FERNANDO her bike is a dual sport, the CB 500 X is a great bike, but maybe 80/20, I don't think you can do much off road with it. For her trip I would have probability gotten a 1190 KTM. If you stay away from Asia or Maybe Africa you're fine, but in certain SE Asian countries roads are really bad, and you need a dual sport.
Awesome, you go girl!! So inspiring
Good luck and good times.
Hope it goes well.. Adventures beckon.. All the best
Outstanding!!! If you make to Phoenix, AZ, let me know. I would love to help. Safe Travels!
Sorry , i really admire what you are doing. I forget to write that I am from Turkey and we would join your ride while you are passing from Europe to Asia over Bosphorus Bridge.👏
That sounds great. Would love some company on the odd leg. my email address is stephjeavons@gmail.com. Feel free to get in touch as I get nearer. You can follow at onestephbeyond.com
Fantastic... What tank have you got on the bike? That is exactly what I need. Stay on two wheels.
Amazing IM from east Timor 🙏🏻
How cool is that just get on your bike and explore the world
Alright, my goal for this year it so buy this bike at some point when the summer is over. :)
Did she make it? I hope so! Where are the follow up videos.
Living the ADV dream!
You going to be anywhere around Southern Utah if you go through the US? I would love to ride a few miles with you. I so admire what you are doing. Truly epic! Best of luck to you. Is that helmet in the video the Nolan X-lite? Take care of yourself.
I have just bought a crf250l and am prepping it for fun but i wondered what she does for fuel on longer distances or where she dosnt know where the pumps are ..as your looking at only 100miles max on a tank?
Nice bike 👍 great that a Dream and adventure is done 😊
2 guestions what is the front rack used for and where Can it be found
I'm also interested, that looks like a useful integrated windscreen for winter.
I like that front basket
Go for it!!
rock on I own the 2014 Love it
I get crap from seasoned riders over my 250L Rally.
They seem to think ya need a BMW 1200.
This is more proof.
At 65 it's easy to handle. It's easy to lower if ya want.
Parts are everywhere.
Love mine.
Just discovered this and am in awe! I would like to know Steph where you got the front rack from please.
Kind regards
Mark
Way to go Steph 😘
i'm thinking of taking this bike on some adventures
same bike :P go for it! :)
Best wishes from India...pls welcome to Mysore..
I can understand not wanting to ride a 1000cc round the world but I would think a 450 would be better than the 250...not much of a weight difference and I am sure the extra power would be appreciated at moments....Good luck on your journey!
Well there are no current 450cc bikes that would be fit for that kind of distance. Especially low maintenance bikes
@@tolga1cool DRZ or the Honda XR650R are the best bikes I can think of. However, I would really prefer fuel injection and e start. For Central, South America, and most of Asia, I honestly think the 250 is fine, but for the North America, Europe, and Australia I'd rather have a 450-650.
@@oscarleon3008 Yeah they are good but only sold in the states and not in Europe. Also by saying 450cc I was mentioning enduro or MX bikes. Which most definitely would be fit for long trips and continuous high speeds
@@tolga1cool I agree with you. Titanium valves are no bueno for long distance tours
Best of Luck :D
Very nice .! Ride safe
One good tip change your gear leaver to a folding one as my friend fell off on his crf and it snap off the gear sharf.not good.and not easy to fix.
hii stepth i really want to do what you do. but i have got some question and need some tips from you, i hope you could help me out. the 1st one will be could i get a sponsorship from the motor company like honda, 2.how could you cross border with the bike and what paper work you need for the bike to get it cross. 3 the budget that you spent each day on fuel and food. thank you steph, btw i will be start my journey from indonesia and i want to go all the way to turkey
Steph, superb. What make is your front rack over the headlight please ? :)
Amazing! I wish well on your many journeys. Could you please tell me though, where can I get one of those windshield? That is a totally awesome design. P.S., if you pass through Tyler,TX we’ll put you up.
😻😿 I share her passion and reasoning for choosing tbid bike. So capable. So underrated.
Does anyone make hard shell panniers for this ?
(PS: Shame you had to skip Pakistan then 😿, maybe next time)
Ma'am is this bike comfortable for long ride in one go, like 300km in 1 go without breaking.
Good passion
Good for you.
Are you skipping Alaska? Don't, it's amazing.
Respect.
Hi Great what you are doing. We're did you get the front rack from????
Rowan
"Rhonda' the Honda. Brilliant!
Que maravilla de moto felicidades.
I dream to do such a trip
is it a stock factory bike or have you done any mods to the engine or gears?
Did you come to the USA at all?
Where are you now ???? 21st october 2016 . ride safe
Before setting off... replace any genuine Honda brake and clutch parts for EBC ones as mines barely made 6500 miles so far (even the rear brake pads fall out!). And don't bother calling Honda... it's not covered under warranty! It also randomly cuts out when you stop at lights! The front suspension covers rub on the fork legs which literally wear the metal away which happens a lot as the set up is far too soft. Might be best riding straight to a Yamaha dealer and part ex'ing as a matter of fact if you want to make Dover!
Was the trip complete. Is there a website?
when are you going ? and post the videos of the tour
Hey, how many miles or km do you manage to track a day?
What is the windshield you are using? I need one of those
You meet the nicest people on a Honda. The comments just reinforce that statement
Pls...for u always well -come in Nepal...u r our stranger ...👍👍👍
Ze best. Дама на таком байке это круто.
Can’t believe you’d take such a low power Bike, I own the 250L and it would struggle on the 120kmh an hour hwys out here.
Where can i buy that support on the headligth....thank you
I hope Honda would make the seat of Crf 150L the same as crf250L.
Good on ya
good luck....
