CRF230M

 

Honda's new CRF230M has to be one of the smartest buys you're going to make this year. The concept is simple: We took our awesome, proven CRF230L dual-sport machine and fine-tuned it for the street. By giving it 17-inch front and rear wheels we've made a machine that's specially tailored for the street, and which can use premium street tires. An electric starter makes getting going a snap, but best of all has to be the new CRF230M's fuel mileage.

 

CRF230L

 

It's hard knowing where to begin when describing the CRF230L. First and foremost, it's a dirtbike that happens to be street-legal, so it has the goods—torquey 223cc single-cylinder engine, six-speed gearbox, lightweight chassis, Pro-Link® rear suspension, head- and taillights and turn signals—to take you anywhere, on-road or off. Add to that a low, confidence-inspiring seat height, no-fuss electric start and great gas mileage, and you're looking at the perfect dual-sport machine for conquering your commute... or your favorite trail.

 

XR650L

 

It all starts in the engine room, where the XR's potent, Baja-bred 644cc OHC powerplant uses Honda's patented Radial Four-Valve Combustion Chamber (RFVC) to put out huge torque and power. From there, a gear-driven counterbalancer minimizes vibrations, while a light, rigid chassis and long-travel suspension soak up the bumps and deliver superb handling on pavement and off. Handy electric starting simply makes it all that much easier.
