Honda prepares a world premiere concept at the 31st Osaka Motorcycle Show 2015 and the 42nd Tokyo Motorcycle Show this spring, and we can’t hide the enthusiasm over this bike. Meet the Honda CRF250 Rally Concept, a machine which looks like the dream of any off-road enthusiast with a penchant for rally raid.
It is not known yet whether Honda will actually build this bike, but we can hope they will. A quarter-liter class in the Dakar Rally is a most unlikely future, but this doesn’t mean that other organizers couldn’t make good use of such bikes for a sporting event dedicated to a smaller class.
The Honda CRF250 Rally Concept is of course, largely based on the existing CRF250L, in spite of its all-factory looks. Truth is, our hearts skipped a beat when we first laid eyes on this bike and believed that Honda went full-out on a rally-raid spree. That is, the bodywork and paint scheme resemble very much to the actual CRF450 Rally bike used in Dakar… and they add solid credibility to this model, too.
