Honda is planning to bring the Honda CRF250M Supermoto (or Motard) to Europe. The new Honda CRF250M is an “affordable” supermoto based on the populardual-purpose Honda CRF250L, with revised suspension, uprated front brake, and a new set of 17-inch wheels with wider road tires.
The 2014 Honda CRF250M combines tough performance credentials, excellent fuel economy, with a bold style aimed to appeal to the young rider looking for something different.
Like the CRF250L, the Honda CRF250M is powered by a liquid-cooled 250cc DOHC single-cylinder engine generating 22.8 hp at 8500 rpm and 16.2 ft-lb. of torque at 7000 rpm, thanks its short stroke (76.0mm bore x 55.0mm stroke). The engine is mated to 6-speed gearbox with slightly taller ratios compared to the 250L, and comes with PGM-FI injection system with 36mm throttle bore to ensure combustion efficiency. The engine is claimed delivers 34.0km/L, giving close to 250km range from the bike’s 7.7 litre fuel tank.
The 2014 Honda CRF250M features steel twin oval-section frame, semi-double cradle, aluminium swingarm, 43mm Showa USD fork at the front in a black Alumite surface finish, Pro-Link suspension (Showa monoshock) at the back with heavier springs, and a seat height of 33.6 inches. Designed more for street use, the CRF250M rides on a new set of 17-inch wheels (17 x 2.75 front and 17 x 3.50 rear) equipped with a 296mm floating front disc with twin-piston calipers, and 220mm rear disc with single-piston caliper.
The 2014 Honda CRF250M will be available in two color options: Extreme Red and Black with gold rims.
