A faithful friend to those who are not looking for easy ways - Honda XR 250

Model Honda XR 250 without exaggeration can be called a legendary motorcycle. In 1995, it was on this bike that Hungarian athlete Juhász István set a world record for climbing with a motorcycle to a height of 6,183 meters in the Himalayas. And for today this record remains absolute. The honored bike is still in the exposition of the Ministry of Transport of Kathmandu.

It is especially worth noting that the record was delivered without technical support and on a serial motorcycle. To those who imagine how the rarefied air of mountain peaks affects the power of engines, this record will seem even more epic. But, despite all the obstacles, Honda XR 250 coped well with the task.

Not only is this unit itself an ideal, it also has a glorious family history. Grandpa XR 250 was shot in the epic film "Terminator 2". It was on 125 models that John Connor left the pursuit in the tunnels of the reservoir. To think - this argument about ten years ago could make most of the adolescents from all over the world "take the brain" to their parents "I want it!". So the advertising campaign appears: "Honda XR 250 - Terminator approves!".

That's such a glorious story for this seemingly inexhaustible bike. Let's see now, but thanks to what he earned it. Many especially note that the "Honda 250" has outstanding capabilities. This 250-cubic-meter enduro can confidently take mountains, which for some of their properties remain a closed zone, even for equipment with more power. The reason is that the Honda XR 250 was specially designed for motor tourism, so achieving a successful layout and perfect balance of the motorcycle was at the forefront.

Excellent maneuverability of the model is achieved through well-calculated sports geometry. Possessing a short base and an acutely installed fork, this motorcycle can literally be screwed into a turn on any ground. Management of such obedient bike brings pleasure. In mountain conditions, the motorcycle will very much please you with excellent traction at the bottom and flexible characteristics of the engine. Owing to these features, it sometimes seems that he himself pulls you, absolutely not noticing that it was an obstacle. In general, if you decide to go on vacation in the mountains, then this motorcycle is ideal for you. Quickly, without extra time, effort and nerves, he will take you to any intended goal. It is worth noting that the Honda XR 250A has not too big headlights, so if in your plans to ride at night, you should take a closer look at the model Honda XR250 Baja. She's already "peepers" just shocking in size!

Due to its characteristics this bike, no matter how strange it may sound, can compete in the mountains even with a helicopter. In general, for beginners as the first enduro-bike, you can safely recommend the Honda XR250, and as a testing ground for mining skills - Transcarpathia. For a beginner, this is one of the best places for its accessibility and variability. Of course, in the Carpathians you can find very difficult areas, but the point is that these mountains are a very compact system that has various places of complexity.
