Do you remember the “old fashioned” real rails … You know those very manly rustic backpackers, mounted on spoked rims and long-travel suspensions. These were not afraid to rub shoulders with steep paths. And that she made it easier when they paraded around town on smooth asphalt. But hey, these old buggers took a liking to the easy and became dashing bourgeois, sometimes overpowered, dedicated to asphalt. Their suspensions remain perched, but it is to look better from above and dominate the narrowed stick rims, more suitable for big sprints..
At the 2016 OSAKA show (Japan), the winged brand presented a prototype inspired by Dakar machines. The Honda CRF 250 Rally concept. The prototype has since crossed the ocean and has been awarded a precious gray card, an essential title to be able to invest in our markets and our roads (dunes?). Powered by a 250 mill from the road range, and built on a chassis from the all-terrain range, we don’t really know which of these genes has gained the upper hand. All the more so as its name and its paces are a source of serious doubt. The question is therefore the following: What playground is this two-wheeler intended for? Honda is not really helping us, she says it just offers “a wide range of opportunities”. Little clue, isn’t it. Notice there is the term “fields” in this statement, maybe…
Because that’s exactly what it’s intended for, to meet your every whim. Its off-road chassis gives it real off-road skills. So sidewalks and urban obstacles will be a formality. Its prow is inspired by the machines of the Dakar, made to travel far and long. So no worries about the inconvenience due to the air flow on the departmental. After all, it’s made to protect against sandstorms. Its mechanical basis is none other than that of the CRF250L, a featherweight in short (157 kilos fully loaded!). It therefore offers incomparable agility, practical for winding up traffic jams between cars, which are nothing next to trees and roots. Plus, it has ABS … What about its 250cc engine? Thrown on a long black ribbon, is that enough? Our roads are still limited to 90km / h, so if it ever runs out of steam on a rapid pace, nothing prevents you from cutting across the path, you might even get there faster! In case you get lost, its 10-liter tank and record range will help you navigate your way. With a consumption of 3 liters per 100, your country getaway will even prove economical. In conclusion, remember that if you don’t know what to do with it, she can do everything. If, however, you are convinced that your happiness lies between the dunes, opt for its big sister the CRF450 Rally dedicated to exercise and derived from the Dakar machines developed by the HRC.
The design of the front face, inherited from its sand machines, clearly has a grain. And it looks like he’s Germanic. To believe that the shadow overhanging the European success of the GS1200 worries the Japanese. Eager to bring their trails back to light. The side covers usually bearing the grid numbers of cross-country machines, here carry any object of your choice. Indeed, under her skirt hides a small empty pocket with two compartments that can accommodate phone, tie, compass, water bottle and even a snack for your country walks. This confirms that usage is intended to be wise, failing mx land whoops, less accommodating with Caesar salads. (The whoops are sequences of repeated bumps and very restrictive for the pilots, and the salads). The finish shines with the fittings of its plastics, and dazzled by the use of LEDs for the lights.
