Another Innovation From Honda

Frustrated that the new four-stroke motocrossers need modifications before you can hit the trails? Well Honda has anticipated the needs of off-roaders with this sweet package; the new CRF250, complete with lights, electric start, and a manual kick start as well - for the purists and paranoids out there. This CRF will have all the power and suspension of the CRF250R with minor modifications to the carburetor tuning (etc.) for trail riding - presumably to make it legal in California. The CRF250X is tentatively available in December 2003, but we can't wait. So while we are impatiently waiting, lets take a look at the specs...
