Honda International Bike: CRF230L


Honda CRF230L: Dual Sport Motorcycle

Price: Starting from $4,549

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.

Imagine a serious dirtbike made street legal. That’s the versatile CRF230L. It’s got a torquey 223cc single-cylinder engine inside a lightweight frame, an agile suspension with lots of suspension travel and a box section aluminum swingarm.

But for the street it also features full lighting and turn signals, as well as a keyed ignition for its convenient electric starter. And unlike a dirt-only machine, it’s also set up for a passenger.

Plus in a recent major magazine test, the CRF230L scored some really impressive mileage figures.

So if you can’t decide between trail or street, don’t. With the CRF230L you get both.
