You know Spud, your KDX is capable of leaving that Honda behind like it had two flat tires and peanut butter in the gas tank, right? :wink:
You could have a 60 pound backpack on the KDX and STILL weigh less than that Honda, right? :wink: |
The KDX220 is a very nice bike. :) However, you've got to love the wide power band on a 4-stroke, fuel injected engine. ;)
Spud :) |
Indeed, granted the two strokes i've owned were pretty much used up and worn out, I much prefer four strokes to noisy smoky two strokes :wink:
|
That's also true.
I am a TOTAL believer in modern 4 stroke power. My YZ400 is addictive. Low midrange and top end WOW! But the 2 stroke is a heck of a lot cheaper to maintain and rebuild, and lighter to boot. Everything's a tradeoff. |
And the answer is $4499.00 US price.
http://powersports.honda.com/2013/crf250l/offroad.aspx it is up on the honda site. |
Once dealer fees and taxes are added, it will be very close to Spud's prediction of $4600.00! That's a pretty good price.
|
I am SO HAPPY to be wrong on this one! :P
I'm still amazed. :!: This is curtains for the competition. No way a guy would buy a carbureted KLX or an uber-expensive WR or an outdated DRZ when the Honda actually costs less! 8) |

The new, CRF250L is priced $500 less than the CRF230L it replaced! :D Here's a quote for the following website.
http://blog.motorcycle.com/2012/05/2...ounced-for-us/ "The 2013 Honda CRF250L is powered by a liquid-cooled fuel-injected 249cc Single inherited from the CBR250R, so it carries the same low-friction innovations such as the roller rocker arm design. Like the CBR, the CRF250L is produced in Thailand, helping keep costs low. By contrast, the CRF250L is $500 cheaper than the CRF230L it replaces, despite adding a larger engine with fuel injection, double-overhead cams, and liquid cooling. Honda is becoming innovative once again. ;) I'm a little disappointed with the claimed curb weight of 320 pounds. However, the CRF250L costs almost $2,100 less than the Yamaha, WR250R! 8O http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/pr...5/0/specs.aspx That kind of money buys a lot of fuel, tires, and aftermarket parts that will drop some weight from the slightly chubby Honda. ;) Spud :D |
I love chubby girls lol.. I am excited about the new honda for sure.
|
Has anyone seen anything on a Canadian release date for it? I went to honda.ca but couldn't find any mention of it, just the 230 still.
|
I think Honda Canada will probably make an announcement pretty soon, Stew. The following link anticipates the Canadian MSRP will be CN$5,000.

According to the Honda website at the following link, the new CRF250L will be available for sale in the United States in August. :)
