About the Honda CRF230F 2009The machine

The 2009 Honda CRF230F is an air-cooled trail bike with a 223cc, four-stroke, single-cylinder engine, SOHC two-valve head, carburetor and electric starter. Its six-speed transmission and long-travel suspension suit trail use, while the 34.1-inch seat height and 249-pound curb weight are useful fit and handling figures to consider before buying.

The CRF230F has 9.5 inches of front travel from a 37mm leading-axle Showa fork and 9 inches of rear travel from a Pro-Link Showa single shock with spring-preload adjustment. It comes with 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, a 1.9-gallon fuel capacity, and a 240mm front brake disc. Factory color is red; the US MSRP was $3,699, with a six-month warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Who should ride it

This trail-focused bike is suited to adults and larger teens looking for a straightforward off-road motorcycle for trail rides. Its electric starter, six-speed gearbox and long-travel suspension fit recreational trail use, while the 34.1-inch seat height and 249-pound curb weight are important considerations when matching the bike to a rider. It is a fit for someone who wants a carbureted, air-cooled four-stroke rather than a model specified for motocross or street riding.
