Honda Crf250l

The Honda Crf250l has a top speed of 130 km/h, produces 24 hp and weighs 157 kg. Motoryk rates it 7/10.

La Honda CRF250L se presentó en 2012 como una motocicleta dual deportiva apta para circular en las calles, que combinaba la capacidad todoterreno con la practicidad de los viajes diarios. Construida sobre una estructura ligera de acero con un motor monocilíndrico de 249 cc con inyección de combustible, se hizo popular en todo el mundo por su confiabilidad y bajos costos de mantenimiento. En 2017 se llevó a cabo una importante actualización, con una suspensión y una ergonomía revisadas, y nuevamente en 2021 con un ajuste del motor más potente y una mayor eficiencia de combustible.

Lo que los compradores deben saber

🔧

Bulletproof Honda Reliability

The CRF250L uses a fuel-injected, single-cylinder engine derived from Honda's proven motocross lineage, making it one of the most dependable dual-sport bikes under $5,000. Owners regularly report 20,000+ miles with minimal issues beyond routine maintenance.

⚠️

Watch the Valve Clearances

The most common owner complaint is the engine running rough after 10,000–15,000 miles due to tight valve clearances that go unchecked. Always verify valve adjustments are up to date before buying used — it's a cheap fix but often neglected.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The CRF250L holds its value exceptionally well compared to competitors, typically retaining 70–80% of its value after two years. Its reputation for reliability and Honda's brand trust make it easy to sell quickly when the time comes.

Lo mejor para
New riders wanting dual-sport versatility on budget

"The most sensible used bike you'll ever mildly regret."

$3,500-$5,500 used

The CRF250L is Honda's answer to 'I want adventure but also a parking space.' It's honest, reliable, and about as exciting as toast — which isn't always a bad thing. The 249cc single fires up every time, sips fuel like it's apologizing for existing, and the suspension handles rutted trails and potholes with genuine competence. Parts are everywhere and mechanics don't groan when you wheel one in. Buying used, check the air filter religiously — previous owners treat these as set-and-forget machines and a neglected filter wrecks the top end fast. The stock exhaust is strangled for emissions, so most used examples will already have an aftermarket pipe, which genuinely wakes the motor up. Front brake fade is real on longer descents, worth noting. It won't embarrass you on gravel roads or commutes, but freeway riders will feel the engine working hard above 65mph. This is a machine that rewards patience and punishes ambition.
