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.
17-Inch Wheels and Tires

It may seem like a little detail, but it makes all the difference in the world. By using 17-inch wheels and tires, we've transformed the CRF230M into a total street machine. You'll get great traction and superb handling-and you'll have a ball riding.
Great Fuel Mileage

When Cycle World magazine conducted their fuel-efficiency shootout (July 2008), the CRF230M sibling, the CRF230L, was the all-time winner.
