I've said this 1000 times. You can buy a Honda CB500X left over, put bags on it, and add crash protection cheaper. I have right at $6000 in mine. I take it offroad regularly. I wouldn't take it deep in like a dirt bike tho. I also have other farkles that I add to all my bikes, be it a brand name Japanese bike or a Chinese play bike. The CRF250L can be upgraded to better suspension with bags and add-ons for about the same price. It'll also perform better than the mini African twin, Rally CRF250. It makes me and wonder why Honda made this bike.
