		<h5>Dual Sport ?</h5>
		<div class="date">By Preston(Owner),  Aug. 23, 2009</div>
		<div class="rating_value"><img title="2.75" src="http://www.motorcycle.com/specs/sites/mot/images/icons/icon-overall-full.gif" /><img title="2.75" src="http://www.motorcycle.com/specs/sites/mot/images/icons/icon-overall-full.gif" /><img title="2.75" src="http://www.motorcycle.com/specs/sites/mot/images/icons/icon-overall-half.gif" /><img title="2.75" src="http://www.motorcycle.com/specs/sites/mot/images/icons/icon-overall-empty.gif" /><img title="2.75" src="http://www.motorcycle.com/specs/sites/mot/images/icons/icon-overall-empty.gif" /></div>   

		Honda quality, Light, Good Balance. Purchased for wife to ride and haul on back of RV. Honda made the colors to fit into the CRF motif however we had to purchase the plastics for the 230M (Black)due to the fact three police officers did not think it was street legal.I cant blame them though (police)<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;"> Honda stupidly made it look like an off road bike. The seat is as hard as my CRF450's seat so street riding becomes painful in about 10 min. and within 30 min. your butt will be asleep and you will be happy to be off this bike. Since it is supposed to be dual sport I still dont understand why honda forgot about the street part? So if you like to be uncomfortable and like to be pulled over...Waste 5K on this bike.</span>

Honda quality, Light, Good Balance. Purchased for wife to ride and haul on back of RV. Honda made the colors to fit into the CRF motif however we had to purchase the plastics for the 230M (Black)due to the fact three police officers did not think it was street legal.I cant blame them though (police)...

Never had any problem with the police. It has a break light blinkers and State plates. Any policeman can tell its street legal. The ride is okay. Good for runs to the store or long rides in town. Also lots of fun on the trails. Read Full Review
