EICMA 2016: New Honda CRF250F Rally unveiled

Honda has unveiled yet another motorcycle for its adventure line-up - the new CRF250F Rally. Based on the standard CRF250 model, the CRF250F Rally has been inspired from the CRF450F Rally Dakar model. 

While this motorcycle is based on the CRF250L standard version, Honda has made sure to give this bike a unique look with nearly full bodywork around the engine. Then there's also the Dakar Rally inspired front end with asymmetrical headlight. The Japanese manufacturer has loaded the CRF250F Rally with new instrument cluster too. At the front, there's a rally style floating screen and fairing and radiator shrouds provide wind protection.

The engine on this bike is identical to the CRF250L, but it gets few improvements like a larger throttle body, revised airbox to get more top-end power. Long travel suspension and high ground clearance will enhance the off-roading ability of this motorcycle. For stopping power, Honda has equipped a larger disc at the front and the bike comes with ABS as standard. Also, this safety equipment can be switched off for the rear brake. 

The new Honda CRF250F Rally will be available in a red/black/white colour scheme and has been priced at $5,899 (Rs 3.93 lakh). Unfortunately, this bike won’t come to India anytime soon, but we would love to have it here.
