After riding the 2013 Honda CRF250L at the press introduction in Santa Barbara, California, we asked Honda for a bike to put through a longer term test. Monza's Autodromo Nazionale hosts Round 4 of the 2013 eni FIM Superbike World. there in Race 1 in 2011 and following it up with another victory in Race.
Although we came away very impressed (just as we did the first time we rode the bike) we did discover some issues that potential owners should be aware of. At its core, the Honda CRF2. L is a relatively simple, lightweight dual sport that provides excellent power (given its limited engine displacement), coupled with easy and sure handling, both on- road and off. The ergonomics work well, even over extended distances. The seat height is not overly tall, but there is a decent amount of leg room .

The bar position puts you in an upright, comfortable posture, while the headlight bikini faring keeps just enough wind pressure off your chest at higher speeds. Like many dual sports, the seat on the CRF2. L is a compromise. It could be broader and more supportive for longer street rides, but it is definitely a wider and more comfortable seat than you will find on the typical competition off- roader. In our opinion, for a stock dual sport, the seat is good. The instrument panel, with its large LED screen and digital speedometer, is legible and thorough by dual sport standards.
No complaints here. The stock tires worked surprisingly well on the street, with decent side grip that provided confidence when leaning the bike over for turns. Off- road, however, the tires were only mediocre, and prone to sliding on silty hard pack (common in Southern California). Although the suspension is essentially non- adjustable (except for preload in the rear shock which we will discuss below), the standard settings worked relatively well for a 1. Neither the fork nor the shock bottomed while hitting ruts and bumps at relatively high speeds. With a 1. 90 pound rider, however, we found ourselves wanting to raise the rear of the bike by adding spring preload to the shock.

Although the shock technically has a rotating collar for preload adjustment, there is almost zero adjustment available, and it is very difficult to get to and turn. This was a big disappointment. This could require a rear shock change for heavier riders. Although we put several hundred miles on our test unit, we never had a single issue with the engine or the transmission. Gearing is a bit tall, and I could see some benefit to adding a few teeth to the rear sprocket, particularly if you ride off- road frequently.

The taller gearing works well on the highway, however, where you can cruise easily at 7. At this speed, there isn’t much acceleration available from the small displacement single, but it doesn’t feel particularly strained, either. In short, this is not a long- distance, high- speed tourer by any means. If you want a dual sport to serve that purpose, you are better off with a Kawasaki KLR6. At lower speeds around town, the CRF2. L is simply a blast to ride.
The motor punches well off the bottom, and the upright seating position with wide bars allows confident, quick maneuvering through traffic. Despite its light weight and knobby tires, the little Honda also offers surprising confidence through higher speed sweepers, as well. As you might expect, the stock exhaust is very quiet, but together with the air box intake noise, it still offers some enjoyable music while rowing through the gears on this single.
If you are accustomed to riding the latest sport bikes, you won’t be impressed by the outright power of the single front disc brake. Nevertheless, it never posed an issue for us, either on- road or off. Power and modulation were more than acceptable given this bike’s intended purpose. Like some of the other Hondas we have ridden recently with a single headlight (the CBR2. R comes to mind), we were pleasantly surprised by the output of the single H4 bulb. Honda obviously knows how to design a reflector that maximizes the output of a headlight. Our gas mileage was pretty good considering how hard we rode the bike.
Low 6. 0s for mixed street and highway riding, down to the low 5. Perhaps the best thing we can say about Honda’s 2. CRF2. 50. L is that each of our three test riders had to ask themselves whether they should add this bike to their garage. The engine performance is pretty surprising for a 2. U. S. MSRP. We can’t comment on long- term reliability, but there is something about this bike that reminds us of older, simpler Hondas that were typically bullet- proof.
The CRF2. 50. L is fun and endearing in the way that only small displacement singles can be. Take a look at Honda’s web site for additional details and specifications. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2. Both comments and pings are currently closed.
