Get a KTM 690 enduro R, almost same weight as crf250l and you'll get guts to travel efficiently. 250cc is not meant for that.

BTW you can wait for new crf450 Rally coming soon from honda

Well, I dunno if my dealer was right to recommend me a 200kg lump when I asked about a 130kg trail bike.
Especially as I still have the dust in my hair from Russia on a 200kg machine, and he was sat on his arse in a computer chair.
The KTM 690 is certainly an option, but it's not just me on this expedition, If I were going alone I would be more seriously considering the KTM. My sidekick is Kyla; a a 130lb 21 year old female, who although just manhadled a F8GS around Eastern Europe, I think would struggle when the roads get reeeaally bad. I worry the extra 20kg on top of the 900+mm seat heights would cause problems.
Now a Honda CRF450 would be an amaaaaazing prospect. But I worry it will be just like the Yamaha WR450Rally, or the KTM450 Rally or any of the other 400+ Rally bikes that already exist for the public.
All I want is a WR450R or CRF450L...
