I hope so. From the bit of reading I've done on some of the four stroke forums, the CRF230 was not taken seriously, since it isn't "Japanese". We're not so quick to discriminate in this shop, but I am curious about the quality of workmanship.
As you said, we know better, Weld. I'm confident Honda will get it right! It is well Honda has had practice manufacturing this engine for the CBR250R before it introduced the CRF250L.

The Honda Pro-Link suspensions are well developed, and very good. I don't see how Honda will allow the CRF250L to get screwed up. The Chinese have really taken a large share of the Third World marketplace from the Japanese. Honda is finally getting serious about the huge world marketplace for 250cc engines.
