Honda’s new CRF230M has to be one of the smartest buys you’re going to make this year. The concept is simple: We took our awesome, proven CRF230L dual-sport machine and fine-tuned it for the street. By giving it 17-inch front and rear wheels we’ve made a machine that’s specially tailored for the street, and which can use premium street tires. An electric starter makes getting going a snap, but best of all has to be the new CRF230M’s fuel mileage.
