A morning in the life of owning and using a CRF250L. This little bike really does it all.
Mods are EJK programmer, 13t, and airbox screen/snorkel removal. This bike was sold and replaced with a WR250R.

As you guys learn to stand (ideally all the time) you will at first feel awkward and then become must more confident riders. Good stuff on that CRF!

For the ones with no idea. This is not the full potential of the bike. Sure it can do much more. Secondly on offroad I prefer to remove the side mirrors. Especially if you are riding near home or have somewhere to drop them like a friends car.

I got the Yamaha TW200 but the tires weren't wide enuff so i got some L-60's on it and the seat was too high so i chopped the suspension. i got to take off the kick stand too, saved weight and it stands up by itself. Saweeeeet ride!!

Little tip. It sucks when you ride to the trails, but let out some air pressure on the front and rear tire and they will roll over the rocks, not bounce off of them. I learned that lesson the hard way trying to ride my DR350 on some rough rocky stuff.

Windrock is a awesome place. I completed trail 22 on my 2016 250l. Wasn’t exactly easy but I got it done. A 230f for me would have been perfect , but the 250l is what I got , goes on the highway cruising at 60 and can take a lot of hardcore trails. I like it, not perfect, it is what it is. People laughing at me at windrock in there brand new $20k sxs but I was going through mud holes that they wouldn’t go through. I was the laughing at the end of the day ✌🏻

I used to have a CT90. It made that sort of terrain look easy. I am thinking about a CFR-250L. Too bad it doesn't have a high low box like the old CT trail bike. I guess it would just be too expensive. LOL. It sure does make a difference though. The nice thing about the 250 is that 5 bucks gets you an entire day of freedom and fun. Can't have that in a Jeep.

I'm currently riding a CBF250 which I took to the woods a couple of times (Yeah I know it's not built for it but it's the only thing I've got) and am thinking about upgrading to a CRF250L for the off-road factor...how good is it as an everyday commuter? I can deal with 110-115 KPH (about 70MPH), don't need that much more...will it manage?

After mods (Renthal sprocket change front & back, FMF megabomb & Q4 + air box mods I can keep up with the WR just fine) and still had $1000 in my pocket for new Michelins this summer and lots of change left over. Oh also put on the mini Yoshimiro tailight assembly, got rid of that huge heavy stock Honda equipment. Exhaust & tailight took about 10lbs off weight

+SpaceAceTX exactly right - WR250R also require suspension upgrade so it will be even more expensive. When you put race tech suspension on crf250l it will be way better then wr250r stock. Besides yamaha reliability recently has dropped.
