Hi All, I am new to the forum and haven't even got a CRF250L yet, I have ordered one and am now in possession of a Registration Number, I'm excited and it won't be long until the day of delivery, I'm an old git with 40+ years of riding bikes of most genres, Currently I have an XVS1100 Dragstar Custom (had it since 2001), also I have a 2 year old Tiger800xc and a lovely wife who also rides bikes, she has a Harley at present. Hopefully this forum will be a two way street for all of us, I look forward to sharing and caring, All the Best Jeff (aka Tigger or Tiggs) Raunds Northamts UK
A belated welcome! I believe you are going to love the CRF. I've only had mine since January but it's already one of my all time favorites! I recently sold my 2013 Bonneville, which I sort of regret but hey - there are more to buy! My wife also rides (we both have Harley's and she has a TW200). I'm sometimes tempted to dump the Harley's and get a bigger ADV (Tiger 800 xcx or Africa Twin)...anyway, happy travels!
Thanks for the reply, My wife and I both ride too, she has a Harley and I have a Tiger 800 xc and XVS1100 custom. The Tiger is a great bike for touring and tracks etc but I struggle with it's weight and height in proper off road situations, plus the fact I don't want to drop over £8k of bike in the dirt, I had a TW200 in Zante a few years ago and had a real hoot around the island, (in shorts a tee shirt, trainers and a sun hat.... ) I get my CRF on Tuesday the 5th June Cheers Jeff
Got my CRF on Tuesday brand new, after just 8 miles I took it off road down muddy green lanes...seems criminal on a bright shiny bike but was great fun.
