Bike: 2015 Honda CRF230F

Honda has officially unveiled its 2015-model CRF230F, which boasts new plastics, shrouds and graphics.

A bulletproof six-speed transmission, lightweight build, durable 223cc four-stroke engine and electric starter gives the CRF230F as much get-up-and-go as it does practicality. The single-cylinder four-stroke engine is aimed to deliver big power and torque over a wide rev range, all at the touch of the button with the electric starter. A heavy-duty clutch aims to offer a smooth engagement of power, while the Showa shocks offer an impressive 216mm of suspension travel at the front and 228mm at the rear.

The rugged, high-tensile steel frame is designed to tackle the greatest of adventures, while the large seven-litre plastic fuel tank, motocross-style seat and lightweight materials front to back ensure it’s done with ease. Honda has also made sure maintenance is simplified, with a maintenance-free CD ignition, sealed battery, snail-type chain adjusters and a reusable, foam air filter significantly reducing maintenance costs.

The 2015 Honda CRF230F is available in Australian dealerships now with an MLP (Manufacturer’s List Price) of $5749.
