The Honda CBR250R is gaining displacement; it will get a 286cc engine. Hopefully, the CRF250L will follow suit, and become a CRF300L. With a Bill Blue, Big Bore Kit, the CRF300L would get a legitimate, 349cc engine.
I quote from the Rick Ramsey website. "Honda unveiled a freshened-up and bored-out CBR300R at the China International Motorcycle Trade Exhibition to fire back at Kawasaki's Ninja 300R." "Details on the 300 have surfaced in the form of a Chinese spec sheet (pictured). The motor has the same bore, but has been stroked 8 mm to 286 cc total displacement. Claimed horsepower jumps from 26 to 30.5 at the same 8500 rpm, while torque takes an even bigger jump (percentage-wise) from 17 to 20 foot/pounds." This will surely result in a CRF300L (286cc) in a year (or two)... and many will rejoice. But Bill Blue will be the happiest: http://www.rickramsey.net/CRF250L.htm
