He’s not easy to listen to, seems like he knows what he’s doing. However driving a few thousand km on the black stuff then a bunch more on sand and dry mediterranean rocks doesn’t feel like a fair review for UK people. Maybe, not not really.
The closest thing I get to sand and rocks is massive stones and chalk climbs like on the Ridgeway.
So I’d also disagree that the CRF250 is just a road bike dressed like a dirt bike. I think that does dual sports a disservice. It’s a trail bike, not an enduro, and suits people well on the muddy stuff.
(Plus as he admits, he was given the bike to ride, so of course no matter what he says his ‘honest’ review won’t be unbiased.)
