850 or thereabouts is more than enough and will fill a niche in the range but will still be a 200kg+ tank off road.
Can't see a new '250 AT' being a single – that's what the CRF-L Rally is, no?
But there is currently no 250 twin engine in Honda's range afaik.
There was talk ( see YT) that the Thai-built CRF250L is for the chop this year.
So maybe a new, high-revving, leaner burning 250 twin is on the way and, like the 3-bike CB500 range, will include a mini AT?
It would make sense for the young image-conscious Asian market where most of such bikes sell.
I must have a spin on that 300 Kawa now the shops are open again.
