    Hi all

    I am a 54 year old biker, been riding since I was 17, Live in Scotland and picking up a Honda CRF250L tomorrow, it’s one owner and it’s 3.5 years old and under 3900 miles. Very nice condition and has not been tampered with. Was owned by a mature gentleman.

    Mainly want it for commuting to work and back lane adventures and maybe of the beaten track were possible up North.

    This style of bike takes me back to my youth, of course I wish it made a ringa ting ting sound but how long before all we have is an electric whirl sound. But at least it’s still a thumper.



    This was my test ride, I made a wee YouTube video. Hopefully the link works

What a joy toy. A backlane burner and absolutely perfect for that. So not only have I bagged myself a handy commuter I have also found myself a great wee tool and I haven’t even touched off road yet.

    74 to 81 mpg too. Happy

    Couldn't agree more!
    I love my 675 for getting my speed and lean angle fix (i'm an addict)
    BUT i now equally love my little CRF250L for just taking things a little more relaxed, take in the sights, cruise around a bit and generally just try and explore.
    I love to go down tiny little roads just to see what's down there, if i get lost, brilliant!

    That's a terrific looking bike. Well looked after.
    It really is a great bike. The longer I own mine the more I love it.

    Thanks buddy. Yes seems a shame to expose it to the winter weather but that’s why I bought it. I will do my best to keep it that way.

    3C39F1A7-5B85-4F81-9D90-FDEE4D2679FD.jpeg 2 days on commuting duties and simply can’t be beaten for practicality, perfect and so fit for purpose. Cleaning down every night will hopefully keep it in the lovely order it is in.
