Very strange, the suspension travels about an inch longer at both ends, hence the seat height, but the seat and pegs have the same relationship to each other....

Just had a look at the Honda parts prices for the CRF250L and Rally, on Fowlers website and the plastic parts prices are eye wateringly expensiveonslowe wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 7:29 pm Boboneleg and Slowboy, thanks for confirming the crf crashes well, I stand corrected and it's great to hear they are up to the job which isn't always the case these days especially for a decent price. I have to say that Minkyheads looks great and very well prepared. Cheers, Onslowe

i agree with the rallys
the rallys plastics are very expensive from the dealers ..my main quibble with the rally is what they made em out of ...pretty much anything in red is the proper bendy stuff and prety much anything in black is the brittle stuff ..
Hey Thedktor, totally agree re test riding them... and that is exactly what I said when I posted the summary to suggestions. I guess what I am trying to do here, is get some suggestions about good options, and then go and test ride the top 3 or so which seem to meet my needs. Points taken about the other bikes you mention, I will have a look into them.Thedktor wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 7:12 am Forgive me for being a bit blunt but you seriously need to ride some of these bikes!
Only you know what you are happy riding - I'm not into big bikes but a CRF250L is just not enough, the XT660 is far too heavy and "big" so not for me either, just to pick two, which is why I ride old DR350's and DRZ's. Which ironically are more reliable than some new bikes I read about!
For me the only thing new available that is both light enough and has enough go is the Husky 701/KTM 690, otherwise I would go secondhand 400/450 to at least get something that is fun to ride![]()
