Why does the Honda CRF 250L win the heart of motorcycle enthusiasts in Vietnam?

Carrying the typical terrain of a Southeast Asian country, Vietnam has the third quarter of the area covered with hills and mountains. For this reason, dirt bikes or naked bikes are the ideal choices for you to experience the rough lands in Vietnam. In particular, with four distinct seasons, the weather in North Vietnam is hot, humid, and rainy, while there are a lot of off-road tracks. Truthfully, motor scooters can go through these areas as long as their wheels have to be wrapped around by the chains when moving, especially on rainy days. But with the CRF 250L, you can easily pass these uneven lands without preparing anything.

Honda CRF 250L Review 4Honda CRF250L Review – The best motorcycle for off-road riding in Vietnam

  • Have you ever thought about going on an enduro tour while carrying your girlfriend and some belongings behind you? Then, the CRF 250L can help you do it in a flash.
  • In Vietnam, you do not need to take a Honda XR400 or CRF 450L because you cannot move fast in Vietnam. The reason is that the road here is quite small while being packed with many motorcycles. Besides, there are a significant number of mountain roads. Therefore, with a weight of 143 kg and a capacity of 24.4 horsepower, the 250 CRF will be an attractive option. It is compact but strong enough to cross any terrain. The speed is not too fast, which suits the roads in Vietnam, where you can not ride faster than 80 km/h. On the other hand, motorbikes are always banned from Vietnam’s highways.
