Stock it looks like it is about 1" shorter. then with a little messing around I could get it another 1" so may be doable. (as long as they come here.)

The CRF250L has a saddle height of 34.4 inches, which I think is just about perfect!
The bike is a little heavy with a 314-pound curb weight. However, I'm sure one could drop some weight from the bike, and gain some power from the engine with an aftermarket muffler.
I believe this bike is scheduled to arrive in Canada this summer, so I suspect it will arrive in the United States at the same time. I sure hope so!
