Who the hell needs EFI on a mini trail bike?
I got so pissed when I saw this I did not look up the price difference. Next will be dual exhaust on a 50.
I won't be buying Honda out of resent for the impact of stupid EFI trail bikes on ridership.
Who here thinks EFI is more influential to entering the sport than price?
The Shop
Edit: Whoa...I've got that all wrong...the 125F is only 16/19? It shouldn't be more than $3,499.
2018 CRF 230F = $4299 MSRP
updated FI equipped CRF 250F = $4599 MSRP
A $300 increase for updated styling and fuel injection. Honda should actually be applauded!!
$300 is about the price for a carb clean when your 230F has been sitting unridden for a few months and all of a sudden it's riding season and your bike won't start or runs like crap...which is VERY common for those bikes and the people that buy and use them.
If someone doesn't want to pay for a more expensive bike with EFI, go buy a DRZ or a used bike. Problem solved.
Is this really a reason for intense anger?
Pit Row
Look, it's clear how you feel. Good news for you there is an abundant market of gently used trail bikes with gummed up carbs that you'll be able to buy cheap then clean and fix up all by yourself. Yay!
Still not sure why you're so angry?
OMG dude. I really want to meet you in person so I can see your face knowing that you will load up your bike and drive to the shop unload it and pay 300$ for some one to clean your carb when I could have been done with the card and your sister in an hour for free. 2018 is absolutely depressing. And I could have done that in high school no problem.
