Webike's Opinion

Here is a "HONDA CRF250 RALLY" custom by Webike community user "Benja". The owner of this CRF250 RALLY has been riding an XLR250R for more than 20 years. However, he has thought that as he gets older, he is gradually approaching the limit of what he can ride on a motorcycle. So he decided it was time to start riding a new bike and purchased a CRF250 RALLY. The CRF250 RALLY, a never-before-seen full-cowl off-road motorcycle, was developed under the concept of "The Dakar Replica: To the weekend adventurer!", as its development concept. The rear of the bike looks even cooler using DRC Fender Eliminator Kit. As a finish of visual tuning, the mirrors were also changed to DRC Round Mirrors. The owner says that the this is 250cc bike, but the performance is exactly the same as the one of 300cc bike. According to the owner, the stock suspension of the CRF250 RALLY is not adjustable due to soft springs and weak damping to reduce cost and improve rider's ground reach. He also had felt his bike unreliable even on paved roads. Therefore, this part was replaced with a TGR performance rear shock to adapt to off-road riding. You can choose a spring that matches your weight. Furthermore, the handlebar area is equipped with grip heaters and hand guards, which make cruising at 120km/h on the highway much easier. Except for the shoulder area, it is as windproof as a full-cowl tourer. Tiredness is reduced to a level not comparable to other off-road bikes, and you can enjoy comfortable long tours.
