How powerfull is the honda crf230? ?

Question

I am looking for a new bike and was looking at the crf230's. I have been recently riding my friends kawasaki klx140 and i was not happy with the power. I was wondering how much more power the 230 would have.

Answer 1

It has not very much more. its enought i guesss. if i were you i would go for a crf 250, you wont be disapionted on that thing. its about twice as much power as a 230.

Answer 2

the 250 is also around 3k more than the 230, so it should be more powerful. the 230 is reasonably powerful, and would definitely be an improvement. Its worth considering the Klx140 is more of a "playbike", designed to be be fast from its weight to engine ratio, rather than pure engine size. considering the honda would have around 90 more cc of engine space, i would expect a tad bit more zip.

the best idea would be to try out someone elses, or a local dealerships.

if your interested in a dual sport, the 230L is also worth looking into.

Answer 3

i am afraid the 230 is also a slug. if i were you i would be looking at something like the cr150r, a little more maitnence but atleast it will preform wen u needd it to.
