Trails, twisties and traffic – Honda’s hugely successful CRF250L can do it all. Dual-sport motorcycles live in a land of compromise.

RRP: From £270 // Sizes: XS-2XL // Colours: 8 colourways available I’ve always been a fan of flip-up helmets, especially the ‘2-in-1’ type where the front part flips right over to convert into an open face that’s not only comfortable, but also meets modern dual homologation requirements.
