I'm 65, I've been riding for over 35 years, I love my 2017 crf250l !
Thanks for the comment, I enjoy mine so much, the wife and I cant wait to get a day off together, when we do we hit the back roads on ours
I'm now 69 and had my crf for 5 years now and still enjoying adventure riding with it. Used to have GS's 1100, 1200, 650, last one is an 800, got rid of them. The bike I love most is my CRF250L, with 18,000 km, still looking fresh from the dealer. Only mods I did were the hand guards, 13T front sprocket, and the rear rack, the rest all stock.
Keep It Simple ! Thanks for watching
I'm 65......been riding since 1971, and I'm seriously thinking of going for one. Can't do big, heavy bikes anymore!
This bike is great
I'm buying my very first bike in the next few weeks. A 2015 crf250l! I can not wait. So many people love these bikes
They are great bike, I have owned 2 of them and now the 300L
I just bought a 2017 crf250l. First bike ever loving it. Here speed on hwy is 62mph i find their plenty of power for my taste, have not gone long distance yet so will reevaluate when time comes. For dirt road drives good and plenty of power for me at present time.
Love my 2014 CRF250L, bought it used 3 years ago with 1,200 miles on it...no issues since. Came with a Seat Concepts seat, Zeta hand guards, FMF Q4 exhaust, and a few other items already installed. I installed a 42-tooth steel rear sprocket, EFI tuner and a ManRacks tail rack with 1 gallon Rotopack. It’s been super fun and easy to handle for forest service roads...way better than stressing over dropping my “ADV” bike. I learned a lot from Woodzman’s first CRF250L related videos...thanks, Frank!
Thanks ! Sounds like you have it all decked out.
Damn bought my 2014 used with 25 000 miles on it lol
Just gettin broke in
I retired to Thailand 2 years ago and bought a CRF. I have adventures every time I go out on it! Everythingthing you said about it is spot on! Thank you!
Sweet, thanks for watchin
January 2016, I watched your review video on the CRF250L, I subscribed, then early Fall bought a CRF250L, and have enjoyed it ever since. Great value, super reliability, like you said. It is a great motorcycle, and you have made Woodzman Adventures become, a great channel to watch. Thank you for your hard work to your channel, especially here recently with the added work, that you and Mrs. Woodzman are going through on rebuilding your new home. Ride on!
I am 77 never owned a car, always motorcycles. Now looking for a bike and leaning toward the Yamaha/ Honda 250cc. Thank you for the review.
Thanks for watchin
I got a 2018 250l and have 100 miles so far. And I got it after watching your videos. Thank you. I love it and I also have a 2016 Harley Davidson road glide. And I love them both.
Your so welcome. I have a friend who rides a Harley
Being from Mo. I recognized your accent immediately .Been gone 50 years and I still have dreams about the beautiful countryside.
Yea i tell folks, I’m just an ole CounchyBoy:)
I have a 2017 Crf250L myself, wonderful and reliable bike. I am planning on making a 30,000 mile review in the coming weeks and it is nice to se others say the same things I would XD. Because of my height, I have a love hate relationship with this bike off-road but its pretty nice all things considered.
Got my 2018 a little more than a month ago. I love it! It’s a great little bike! It’s my first bike at 37 years old. Easy to handle and plenty powerful for me. I can trail ride with my buddy who rides a KTM 350 exc and am able to keep up just fine. Thanks, Woodzman, for great video inspiration to get out and ride.
Your welcome! Thanks for watching
Keeps up with a ktm 350 😄
Well I use “keeps up” loosely... lol!
Really great bike - would recommend to anyone interested in a good little dual sport! Loved mine since day one! I've had mine for 4 years now - it's fun and reliable, and practical for all road conditions. Mine sat out a whole winter, and I had to change a gasket in the fuel tank, and it's currently in the shop getting a new ignition, because the steering lock was jammed (probably rusted). Other than that - no problems.
I'm thinking of selling mine since I got another bike and a car, but I really like the CRF and it hurts having to get rid of it. Just wish insurance here in Norway wasn't so damn expensive...
Loving my 2019!! You were a big contributor to my choice. I always enjoy your reviews and rides!
Thanks OldMan! I enjoy the bike and like to hear when others are doing the same.
I just bought a 250l last week, you helped me choose!! :)
Awesome! Congrats !
Lucky you. :)
Love finding local riders. I'm alittle north of Springfield. I've been researching for almost a year between this bike and the ralley. Love the talk.
Awesome, thanks for watchin
I have a 2014. I love it. Great for me . Not looking for tons of power .I'm 45 not looking to rip and tear.. Just a great get out and explore bike .
Same here !
I have a 2017. Really like it
Thanks for the Comment, Its a great bike for sure.
same; it's great
I live in the Philippines now the best roads here are about like the one you was riding on, I have had my 250L for over a year now and is a perfect bike for the roads here. I rode Harley Davidson motorcycles in the US and thought about purchasing one here but the roads are not good for a big HD. Most people here ride small motorcycles or scooters, My 250 is considered a BIG bike here.I cant say enough about the bike only you will not be disappointed. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching, good to hear from the Philippines
He sounds like Hank from King of the Hill.
Yes, because of your videos I had to get a CRF250L for myself. And I love it. My grandkids are always asking for rides thru the neighborhood streets.
Awesome, thanks for watchin
Some of these older riders tell everyone how great this bike is, but people do not seem to listen. I assure you guys it is a great bike, and I intend to show this, this is my new mission.
Because it's subjective. Respect our elders man.
The 300l is the next great old bike.
I got the Rally version in March, just did my 600 mile oil change today.
I have owned all types of bikes, and have done a few long distance trips.
I traded my Lowrider for this bike, and don’t regret it one bit. I have more fun on this bike than I would have thought.
I have more fun with the 250L then any bike I have owned
Dual sports are so much fun to ride and cheap. simple and easy to work on. it is a great way to learn riding and is still fun for experienced riders too. Honda always makes a good reliable bike. the 250's are so good on fuel economy too.
Thanks for the comment Andy!
I got me one last July . I would've never heard of one if it wasn't for your videos! I love it & i get a lot of compliments on it.
Thanks. That is true, it does get the compliments
I enjoy my 2015 crf 250l. Followed your advice when I got it. Thanks for the great info.
Thanks SGF ! Maybe we need to ride again some day
I'd trust it . My Honda ATV is 20 yr old and she runs perfectly.
Bought a new 2018. Just started riding last Saturday. Its the perfect bike for me. I haven't had a bike in 10 years. The last one I had was a 650l. That was too big for trails. The 250l is much better for the type of riding I like to do.
Congrats! Yea its so easy to ride and maintain. Well worth the price
Great video, just bought a Honda crfl a 19 plate 3 weeks ago very pleased with the bike hopefully to do a bit of green lane around mid wales with my buddy kieth
What is green lane ?
Its narrow tracks that are not surfaced with tarmac and are legal for off road bikes
I bought a 2020 CRF 250l after doing alot of research and watching your videos . I can tell you really like your bike.....I'm 57 and always had to have the fastest bike, zx 11, concours, etc....I still have a yamaha tracer 900 but has sat since buying the 250, what a fun bike it is to ride...Thanks for making the videos....
Your welcome, it sure is a lot of fun to ride
Know that road well, live close by.
Just wanna say love all these videos. Just got a 2020 myself couple weeks back. Been riding since I was 6. Looking forward to getting out on it more. It’s been freezing here.
Thanks ! Congrats on the bike!
Picking mine up in the morning!
I walked into my local dealer here in the Seattle area and they had a brand new 2017 CRF 250L for $4200.00, I couldn't past it up. I love my 250L and I walked into the same dealership, last month and they had a brand new 2017 Africa Twin for $9000.00. I love them both and the 250L is so light and so easy to work on.
I gave $3700 out the door for my 18 250L. I guess they like me lol
@@WOODZMAN Dang! That's awesome.....thanks for your vids, I have watched them all.
@Trevor Johnson ......But you got to enjoy the beautiful beast for 6 months before me. The dealer had 10 come in from Honda, I had a 2010 Honda NT 700v with 37,000 miles on it and the gave me $2500. So out the door,
I cut them a check for $8300.00
Thanks Woodzman. These machines are great Price over Perf. picks really.
Thanks Alper, your welcome
Thanks for the video. I just bought a 2018 250l about 2 months ago and am loving it. I live in SW Montana so we still are back and forth between 40s and occasionally the 70s. Need some solid warm sunny weather to go do some off roading!
Yea its warmed up nicely here so lots of riding planned
Thanks for your reply- I’m thinking the rally is just better for more wind protection when you’re on the road- More adventure riding rather than just off-road.
My brother just got the cfr450 dual sport. He let me ride It and it had way to much power for my liking. Ill stick to my 250. Honda just came out with a 300 that I'm gonna have to look into.
Yea I don’t mind the power but I don’t want a bike with the maintenance like the 450L and the price is way to high
I love my 2018. Super smooth. I just wish it had a bit more power. Then again, it’s only a 250
You might really like a WR250R then. On paper it doesn't make a whole lot more power, but the way it does is more exciting, if that makes sense. It literally builds until you hit the rev limiter. I have the sumo version (WR250X) and its been the best motorcycle i've owned yet.
I have the same bike same problem. Ordering new sprockets. Gonna try a 13 by 42. Should get some more power out of it. You can also get a new muffler, open up the air intake and I've heard something about a new fuel pump something or other that runs more fuel through it. There is definitely a lot you can do to get more power from it.
I would say go up to 48 tooth in the back. Easiest way to move power around and get some torque.
I bought a 2019 one , nice bike on and off road . Not fast but quick enough for smaller roads and is able to keep up on trails as long as they arnet crazy
Oh yea and it depends on the rider
Ya but me and my friend owned 250x the enduro bikes and they are a world apart . I can climb banks of rocky loose earth in 2nd gear on the x but the L only in first . The L has much less pull then the enduro crf250L . The L will be a mountain goat in 1st but like a goat it's a slow climb and sometimes it's speed that gets you up hills . So I think the same rider on different bikes does have a big difference. There's places I couldn't get the L but could get the x but the L is good enough in all areas so can't blame it for falling a bit short of a full enduro race bike
Oh yea i agree
I just picked a new 2019 up last week and your vid really helped make my decision. was looking at a ktm but even money aside it was the service intervals that tipped the scales for me, and how much you loved yours. thanks for the positive and upbeat review, much appreciated.
Your so welcome. Thanks for watching, Good time has just came your way. Keep me updated on how you like it.
Ben King and Steph jeavons (spelt wrong), both circumnavigated the globe on 250L’s!
I’ve raced the cbr250 on the track for 3 years with zero mechanical issues.
Bulletproof motors.
Yea that is awesome
My crf250l is about 5yo now, still running perfect, made a minor adjustment on the chain tensioner, no need to replace the part.
Awesome ! I have never had a problem
I have a 2017. I agree its a great bike but it is NOT an MX race bike. Its just Fun !!!
That is true and Honda makes a MX bike if that is what a person wants
My husband and I really appreciate your videos. We just picked up a 2008 crf230l for me today. (I'm 5 feet tall and this is the only dual sport that will fit me). We are torn between getting a 2019 new crf250l for him, or getting a used one. We have an opportunity for both. Right now he is leaning towards the new one. Tough decision. We have learned alot from you and you have help us reach our decision to go with the crf L's. Thanks again.
The 230L is a great bike, if the used 250L is nice and I lot less money, I would go for it. The 2019 is not a huge difference.
Thanks so much for watchin
@@WOODZMAN we decided to go with a used one (mint). Its a 2018. It had some mods: 13:42 sprockets, skid plate, zeta hand guards, bar risers. It only has 286 street miles. The owner has hardly ridden it and he bought it from a guy who had a back injury and had only ride it 40 miles. We are so thrilled that you replied to us! Now we have to figure out what protective we need. (That would because great video for you to make! Perhaps you already have and we havent seen it yet. Thanks again for what you do. You've been a great help and encouragement to us. Johna & Rob
*meant to say what protective gear we need.
Awesome, glad to help, you will be just as happy with it
Sorry to hear about your house. Love your videos and the 250L. Keep up good work.
Thanks Adam,
I prefer Honda, I still miss my 1984 XL350R and yes the new CRF250L would be just right for me
yep cant beat the old xl hondas had xl 500 back in the day start second kick every time
built to last not like the crap you bye to day
@@toby621 Yeah UI can still kick myself for trading my XL350R for a ATC350X
It's good to get out and ride, especially when your stressed from building. It's good to take a step back.
Yea no kidding, and all the rain we have been getting
@@WOODZMAN IKR. The flooding been ridiculous. I'm glad it's warming up, maybe it will start drying out a little. Well at least the cat-fishing will be good for awhile.
Yea I need to go fishin to !
i like this guy. good review
Thanks
I did wonder about 2-up. Thanks for clearing that up.
Glad to see you get out for a ride! 👍🏻
Its good to be back on 2 wheels !
Great video. I was considering a 250l but ended up getting a new Suzuki DRZ400...I absolutely love the DRZ. Quite a bit of torque. I am sure I would have loved the Honda as well.
Shouldn't have any regrets there. No fuel pump to fail on you, largest aftermarket, made in Japan and not Thailand. Last part matters, they had some issues with the design and/or build quality of some of the earlier CRF250Ls. Both are great bikes and choices today, and it's a tough call!
The DRZ is a great bike, my friend Dale had one
I was looking at the DRZ but I liked the price tag of the 250L Rally more + styling.
@@magnagaurd Yeah, I just happened to get one of those deals you can't pass on. I got a new in stock left over 2015 for 5g otd..I couldn't say no...
@@RD-fh2ot 15 DRZ? If it hasn't changed, then I would say it was a good deal.
He sounds like the Cleveland show and family guy guy 👌👍
Lol
I like the bike & its looks cool ! But it is gut less as hell ! I put a FMF pipe on my 2020 crf-250 La . It is tough as hell & looks fast & quick but very gut less as heck ! The pipe helped the throttle response ' Now i'm gonna get the after market air cleaner that allows the bike to get more air. Also gonna get the power commander that plugs right in under the seat to have my own control over the fuel mapping . Like the video here because he knows his stuff ! The things i've mention here are stuff of my choices ! Of trying to make my bike alittle bit more playful is all because i'll be ridings up in the woods more ! And also there is a really neat sprocket kit that comes in gold tone the matches the front upper forks ! The back spocket is only 2teeth bigger in back & the front. Counter spocket stays the same .
Great video. I love my 250l. Even if u do buy suspension upgrades the price is under its competitors. Def in my opinion best bike for the money.
Thanks, I totally agree
310lbs isn’t quite lightweight 😛. It’s heavy but then again it wasn’t made for hardcore offroading and you don’t feel the weight of this bike anyways when riding it.
Rajkiran Natarajan I’m 12 and can easily ride and lift one it’s not that heavy
Thanks to your videos, I picked up a used 2016. Greetings from Dubai
Awesome news, Good times has come your way! Thanks for watchin
Just brought one yesterday it will be delivered to my home today can't wait to ride ..
#New #rider #here
Awesome! Congrats
Had a 2016 250L. Amazing build quality. Like a chunk of granite. Not the best for high speed highway cruising or rough trail riding. I sold mine and bought KTM instead. Honda build quality is second to none.
Rajkiran Natarajan I have to say, I’m 12 and I use this for off-road only (obviously i can’t ride it on road) but I have to say I’m not an inexperienced rider and I’ve gone pretty hard on the 3 bikes I’ve had, it’s not generally that it can’t take off-road it’s just that the rider may be to scared to take it there, I’ve used it in some of the most bizarre and roughest trails I know of, plus it easily goes 120kmh (bout 85mph)
You must be a big 12 year old
I had a Yamaha dt125 around 15years ago loved commuting on that wind rain or snow
Yea those was good bikes
I just got a go pro camera for the first time in my life. I filmed while riding my crf250l to go buy a pick up truck the other day for my first video ever, and on the ride I decided to talk a little about the 2014 crf250l I was riding. I road a couple wheelies up to 60 mph when I almost had a real bad day as I sat the front wheel back down to earth. I plan on getting a better internet connection so I can upload our group off road dual sport rides easier, on both the crf250l and my plated wr250f. Thanks to Woodzman and other awesome dual sport guys on here who own this bike, I have this bike outfitted just the way I need it, and will always want it. It is an awesome bike for even someone like myself who is experienced and raced motocross for many years, as he says this is also my favorite bike I have ever owned, included are mx bikes, Liter bikes, and cruisers. I plan on showing what this little red pig is capable of on film, and posting because so many people think its a dog and I assure you it is not. With the right rider it can outride almost everything through the woods with the average dual sport, or dirt bike rider on the other bikes. I know people think this bike sucks because I get stopped all the time at the local off road park I ride at, and people ask me how I like my new crf450l, when I tell them its a 250l they can not believe that this bike can ride like I was riding it. A lot of the time the rider is the weakest link, not always, but most times.
Good to here from you, you do t want to have one of them bad days, i have been there.
Sounds like fun times ahead
I just wouldn't have been able to get to my destination as my gps almost got smashed. I have faced extremely bad days where I didn't know if I would ever see life as a free man and this was not one of them lol, it was more like a joke, it was a great day.@@WOODZMAN thanks
Great video, looking to get my first bike very soon. Also i lived in Rolla Mo a few years ago
It’s a great choice
I had a 15' and an 18' Crf250l. While I believe they are great bikes for the purpose they have, I just couldn't get over the gutless engine. Honda shouldn't have put a street engine in this bike. I bought a DRZ and am happier with that engine with the gobs of HP and torque. The CRF is a great bike, but people just have to know what they want to do before they buy, otherwise they have to learn the hard way like I did.
Its pretty much depend on what you enjoy the most. The 250L is perfect for me. Plenty of power. I have rode with 2 strokes and larger 4 strokes and went as good as they all did.
The old 1980's Honda xl350 made 23 horsepower. The crf250 is rated at 25. The old 350 was a 5 speed. The crf is a 6 speed. The old 350 was carburator. The crf is fuel injected. Basically, it's a better bike. If you want crazy power, get a crf450. If you want insane power, get the crf1000. Warning though, the crf 1000 is a heavy beast. Like riding a tank through the woods. All it needs is the 120mm smooth bore gun.
Lol that is true
Hey Woodzman, hope your house situation gets resolved soon, that sucks. I agree about the 250L, I had a 2013 and really enjoyed it - but sold it to buy a CB500X. Well, the 500X has been sold and I think another 250L is in my future.
Thanks Peter, I looked at the 500X, I just thought it was to heavy and more street oriented than i wanted
For the price you can take the difference and make it a far more capable bike than 90 percent of the ktms or husq.
Mogul In_Da_Skies I mean, it'd be slow, but yeah. They're a fine trail bike, and with a few mods they're incredibly capable. As an added bonus, you won't have to work on it every 10 hours!
84 where you're at, we just had a half in. of snow a few days ago. Still, the 250L rides!
Lol Im in SW Missouri in the Woodz of Thomas Haller :)
I love my 250L seat, it so nice after my husky's that feels like a piece of lumber!
Lol i rode a DRZ400 and i hated the seat on it
Totally agree with this guy. Buy one and you’ll probably still be riding it 10 years from now.
I almost bought one of these, but the dealer didnt have it in stock,, so I went down the street and bought a Suzuki dr 650. because it was in stock
Then I bought a New DR 200s 2021 model... Then. 2020 Yahama xmax 300 scooter.
Lol wow
Nice bike and thanks for the info! This is my ideal dual sport with the modern tech and slightly lower seat height since I'm only 5'10. It's definitely a popular bike here in Utah with all the mountains to go ride and stuff, my local Honda dealer is always sold out and people are still selling 13-14 models with thousands of miles for 4k on the used market. I surely don't need another bike right now but if I find one of these for the right price I might not be able to resist.
Its a fun bike for sure
New rider and I love my 250L. Thank you for the videos!
Congrats! Good times has come your way my friend! Thanks for watching
Last season, I bought what I thought I really wanted....a Vstrom 650.....for "adventure" riding. Dissapointing, and all I really wanted to do was dual sport riding :) Im really thinking of the CRF250L Rally version
Kinda sounds like me, I had a 250L then got the AT, then I wasn’t happy with it so I went back to the 250L
Nice review. I've been eyeing this bike. I'm from central Missouri myself..
Thanks for watchin
Looks like a great area to ride, enjoyed it.
Thanks for watchin
I JUST MOVED FROM CAPE MISSOURI
Thanks for watchin
Got rid of my Harley street Glide.. I'm 63 retired moved to the Philippines lots of small bikes.. harley would be to big of a bike where i live.. cause of traffic..i miss that kind of riding..nice video looking forward to more..thanks...Jim from Pasig Philippines (manila)
Thanks for watching Jim
I have a 2018 250l and it absolutely rips if you not scared to get up to 7 or 8 thousand rpms I ride a lot of sand and it does very well and on the road it goes plenty fast to get me In trouble
Yea lol, if you keep the RPMs up it does pretty good
im 17 and im thinking about selling my 2007 yz 250f and buying one of these
It’s a great choice
First of all, wow, very nice scenery there! I agree the CRF250L is a very nice bike and I am still considering one. I just recently sold my DR650 and my XR250R, so I'm looking for something else now. I kept my little Honda CRF100 as a trail bike (great little bike), but thinking about a small dual sport, maybe the CRF250L or the DR200.
I had a friend with a DR200 but its so tiny
Was thinking to get one but got a BMW G650GS Sertao for 4k with 4k on the clock.
Reason wanted 80mph cruise speed.
And with weight saving single end can and lithium battery got weight down to 170kg/374lb but with under seat tank you don't feel it.
Thinking out of the box. This easily goes 85mph
Thank you. That was a helpful review.
Thanks for watchin
Great review thank you! I am just looking at getting a small cc bike for fun and the CRF looks like a good choice. I have 2 bigger bikes but I want something I can maintain myself and the Honda looks great... Thanks again and ride safe Sir 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Your welcome, thanks for watchin
short answer, YES CRF250L is FOR EVERYONE. love mine!
I really don’t see me ever wanting anything else
I remember a Africa Twin?
I had one
Hi you have nail it in all aspects of the Honda 250L . We could all find in every bike tweeks that everyone would make . If everyone gets miles of smiles on what they ride then you've got the right bike . Honda CRF 250L has been ridden around the world by many people . I think that says it all for a 250cc why buy a 1000cc. Ro
I have no plans of ever owning another bike. I really do plan on staying with the 250L this time
I love my CRF250L!
Thanks for the comment, Im on my 2nd. CRF250L and I really like it.
What is your feelings of the Honda Rally.
I sat on the L model base and it just feels better it fits like a glove. I’ll be doing about 60% Road 40% off road thanks and happy riding!!
It’s good, I just don’t care for the looks of it and I don’t like all the plastic, seems like more to break. I like the looks of the standard L better, looks more like a motocross bike.
Here in Germany the 250l is like one of the only japanese Dual Sports.
The rest are Huskys/Ktms
And those are really expensive and unreliable.
And even the 450l
Its the same amount of power, due to regulations.
So an a beginner. This will be my really first choice.
Maybe even Supermoto conversion.
It would be a nice bike for you
Technically built in Taiwan I believe, so the fit an finish isn't quite as tight as the Japanese built 450L, but it's still ok. I have a 2018 as well, I just need it to go a tad faster, and I'd be thrilled. Maybe an FMF or Yoshi would sort that out, I dunno
It may help some, I had the FMF on my 2014 but i think it made more noise than power
Great beginner bike, but you are no beginner. Doesn’t the lack of power bother you? I bought a 2018 Africa Twin,, but the weight makes it a street bike. My 2020 450L with a few mods is the best dual sport I’ve ever had.
Yea I think the 450 would be fun. Some day maybe
I've rode everything from Harley's to sports bikes and now I'm on a Honda pcx 150 I am 50 years old now and want something with a little bit more power for my highway travel to work 22 miles one way...would this be a better option over my 150 scooter for an old man like me...LoL
It would depend on if it firs you best. You need to sit on one and see how it feels. A test ride would be nice
@@WOODZMAN
I've sat on the 250L a few times at the Dealership fits great just wondering about how she handles on the highway for a 22 mile trip at 60 mph to work every day
Well my trip to work is only 15 miles and it does just fine. 22 wouldn’t be a problem at all
Thanks for your replies I may just go Pull the trigger on one of these today or tomorrow
Super sweet !
klx 230 is cheaper, but I dont know if I should cheap out on thet bike or just buy the honda
It’s hard to beat the 250L it’s a great bike
Im bout to start riding. Im thinking of this bike as my first
It’s a good choice, I sure do enjoy mine. Problem free and will go just about anywhere!
@@WOODZMAN Ill probly get supermoto tires for it since ill be on street mostly.
Ride on.
Ride it Brother
@@WOODZMAN Im like you. Ive had all kinds of bikes. But my favorite is my CRF250L by far. Its fun and all terrain. Every kids dream is to ride a dirt bike on roads and the cops dont mess with you. Heck i rode it out on the street to meet my buddys on the trails and it was great. No trailer. But the price and the maintenance schedule beats them all. Ride on. O yea My wife is working on you a shirt but she has to get the heating press down first. Youll love it for sure.
Awesome! Thanks so much
everyone think its cheap than other but in my country honda crf 250l is very expensive because its price is ten thousand dollar
Wow that’s crazy
Thanks for sharing this valuable information.👍🏼👍🏼
Your welcome, Thanks for watching
WOODZMAN ADVENTURES Absolutely!
Hey Woodzman. Good video. I just picked up a new 250 Rally and I’m loving it. Quick question, did you increase your preload on your rear shock on the 250l? I’m about 230 myself and the rear shock seems like it could use a little more preload for me. Thanks! Keep the videos coming!
Thanks. Yes I tightened the rear spring as far as I could
Good deal. Thanks again.
I’m 220 I tightened all the way much better
Hey Woodzman, I was wondering how long did those tractionators end up lasting ya... and how much of that was street riding. Great vid fun to watch your growth
That did pretty good. I think it was about 5k but quite a bit of paved roads.
The worst part was they was so loud on the pavement. Headache loud.
Thanks for watching
Smart man for not saying how much his wife weighs 🤣🤣🤣
Lol gotta be careful
I bought my 17 in October I didn’t want abs anyways I love my lady Sansa
Sweet, I didn’t want the ABS either
Why no abs?! I've seen the model without abs is a little cheaper.
I just have alway riddin bike with out ABS, I don’t feel that it is something that I need and don’t want to pay more for it.
For a new rider, I think it would be great
Thanks for the reply, really considering the 2020 crf250l rally
I want to buy but i have no money yet. Lucky you, guys.
Some day !
Well said bud
Thanks there SuperFan
Just out of curiosity how much did you sell the 2014 for? The used market on these bikes are ridiculous I haven’t seen one sell
For less than $3500 and they’re hard to come by in my area In NC
I sold mine for $3200
Yup that’s about right.
I picked up my 2018 250l brand new for $4,950 out the door. Great price.
Heck of a price for such a great bike and so much fun, Congrats
