About the Honda CRF230F 2016The machine

The 2016 Honda CRF230F is an off-road trail bike with a 223 cc, air-cooled, carbureted four-stroke single-cylinder engine. Its SOHC, two-valve engine uses a six-speed transmission and electric starting. Suspension travel is 8.5 in up front and 9.1 in at the rear, with a 37 mm leading-axle Showa fork and a Pro-Link Showa shock with spring-preload adjustment.

The CRF230F has a 34.1 in seat height, 11.7 in ground clearance, and a 249 lb curb weight. Its 1.85 gal fuel tank, 21 in front wheel, and 18 in rear wheel suit off-road trail use. It is not street legal in the US, has no lights, and is built for one rider with no passenger. The listed US MSRP was $4,199, plus a $150 destination charge.

Who should ride it

This bike is for a single rider looking for a dedicated off-road trail motorcycle, not a street-legal commuter. Its 223 cc four-stroke engine, six-speed transmission, 21 in front wheel, and 18 in rear wheel define its trail-oriented setup. At 34.1 in, the seat height is an important fit consideration, and the 249 lb curb weight is worth accounting for when choosing a bike for your typical trails and handling needs.
