Adventure Touring The CRF 250L Rally-- 4,000 Mile Update



It goes without saying that Japanese motorcycle manufacturers know how to make a phenomenal motorcycle. In this linked Top 50 bikes of all time compendium it's no surprise that Japan stacks some serious points on the board.The Honda CRF250L Rally is no exception.

In this video review we take a small break from our adventure tour to update our viewers on our experience with Honda Rally hitherto. We then dip into an honest comparison between the 250L Rally and the standard Honda CRF 250L.
