If you are after a competitive road legal enduro mount ready to rock straight out of the box, then the CRF250X should be at the top of your shopping list. Similarly, if you are just after a bike that is capable of making your life easy in the tight cut and thrust of enduro loops, with plenty of speed in reserve for you to grow into, then again the CRF250X fits the bill nicely.

But if you want a road/trail bike for a bit of bush bashing, and maybe a trip to work and back every now and then, with little thought to servicing, then you would certainly be better off going for something that is not so competition based. As always, it is horses for courses.

The CRF250X is available now for a recommended retail price of $11290. Visit your local Honda dealer to check this impressive new machine out for yourself.
