I just bought a Honda CRF250L I just bought a Honda CRF250L. It defies logic. I’m not a retiree looking to revisit motorcycle riding, nor am I 21, and swinging a leg over a bike for the first time. I’m 36 years old, married and, with regards to motorcycles, I would consider myself experienced. I’ve owned a slew of different bikes and though I’m not sure Honda knows who they’re marketing this bike to, I’m prob... By CRF250L Owner News - Oct 10 2012 -
The CBR250R gets dirty Ridden a Honda CBR250R yet? You should, it’ll utterly change the way you think about size. It matters, yes, but not in the way you think. By being smaller, lighter and simpler than most other modern motorcycles, it recaptures a purity of experience and purpose others have been lacking. In short, it’s clean, simple fun. In an era of excess, it’s welcome counterpoint. Equipped with the same en... By HFL Staff Reviews - Sep 7 2012 -

Staying at the Kauai Paradise Inn near Kilauea Town, owner Jim Bray let me borrow his Suzuki DR650 to do just that. Bringing the bike up from the garage he smiled and said, “Key’s in it, have a blast.” 7:56 AM: I start up the bike and leave Kilau... By Andy Gregory News - May 29 2012 -
The 3 changes they made to the AGV AX-8 Dual We’ve expounded the virtues of the AGV AX-8 Dual at length, but here’s the short version: weight, price, vision, ventilation, looks, safety. Those factors together make it probably the most appealing helmet on the market right now. Want one? The old model is widely on sale for $200. Half off.

The next great Honda in action At lunch on Saturday, Sean said he couldn’t understand why I was being so positive about this Honda CRF250L. His argument was that it weighs over 300lbs and makes only 23bhp. Therefore we should dismiss it as irrelevant; it just won’t be capable off-road. My argument in return? CBR250R. If Honda can bring that kinda quality and that mix of performance to a dual sport, at the same price point, ... By HFL Staff News - Apr 25 2012 -
Life Electric: babes, n00bs and getting wet When we left off yesterday, I was out the door to pick up Ashlee and go for an evening ride around LA. With the prospect of a couple hours’ riding looming, I was getting pretty paranoid about the Zero DS’s range, but actually looking forward to riding it around city streets. Well, I didn’t end up pushing, but I did get soaked. - Nearly 60 miles of riding last night. Over to Sean and Ashlee... By HFL Staff News - Apr 11 2012 -
