I got tired of looking out the window for passing ships —
and sitting under a tree at the bottom of the garden reading a magazine —
So – when the opportunity arose to get my hands on the new CRF250 Rally I was right there —
She is a little beauty – especially now that I have her singing her throaty song on the Isle of Luing —
With lots of nice touches – she is much better than I expected —
Suspension feels plush —
Her six speed box has a gear for every occasion both off and on road where 6000 rpm in 6th gear equates to 60 mph and without a motorway within 100 miles we should get along just fine —
Possibly first on the road in the country as the Rally has yet to be officially released for sale in the UK – she won’t have anything like the poke of the Dakar racing 400cc version she is cloned from – but she’s sweet and should suit my old bones just fine —
thank you Mr Honda 🙂
