450 was down due to a crushed header pipe, thankfully enduro noob was kind enough to loan me his crf230 for this ride - had a blast! Enduro noobs channel: / @enduronoob
that CRF230 is right in its element there , ive just bought one and ive ridden it more in one week than i have ridden my KTM 250sx in a year , its a great bike for people like me that have have gotten old or lost their confidence
People hate on these bikes but in the tight trails they rip. You can push them 110% vs their big 450's where you can't even push them 50% in the woods. Not to mention how cheap they are to purchase.
this video does not do the 230 justice, the trail was far to easy honestly looked like a beginners trail just riding through paddocks the whole time. take the bike on a more difficult trail and you'll see the 230 truly shine in the slower more technical areas where on a bigger bike you constantly have to wrestle it through while a 230 will chug on through or up anything you throw at it
I feel bad for you, man! You were clearly stuck riding among a bunch of amateurs or something, until you finally got up front. What was going on? Most of them were riding so slow. Great video, it really does show the 230f is a very capable motorcycle.
The lil red bike that could ! ! That motor dont' know quit, maybe not the wildest thing you've had between your legs, but its steady makin time, quite relaxing motor pace.
A bone stock crf230f or ttr230 may be slow. But proper re-jetting/ cheap mods will bring this bike to life. Not to mention how cheap they are compared to modern enduro bikes, and you don't need to constantly work on them
I don't care what anyone says, the 230 is one of the most all around fun bikes there is! Had a CRF for awhile, and now have the blue brother version TTR230. Never been happier! Electric start, cheap and easy to maintain, not broken down all the time. The only bike I need! I've ridden everything from old XR's to the fire breathing 500cc 2 strokes, but I feel more in my element on the little 230, it's easy to throw around and doesn't have that arm ripping power of the big thumpers and 2T's that just wears you out after a short ride.
Had a CRF230F, it's a great bike, and I kinda miss having it around. Upgraded to a 450x now. But it's just a whole different feel. I don't know why these bikes get so much trash talk. They were, after all, a direct replacement for the XR 250, which was highly praised night and day. Although I liked the XR 250, I think the CRF230F is on par with it, and in some ways surpasses it. My friends would say it's a girls bike. But it didn't have any problems smoking my buddies KX125 on our homemade track.
Hey Guy’s, don’t worry about the speed. One of these bikes being ridden by a skilled rider can smoke a inexperienced rider on trails. It’s 80 percent rider skill, 20 percent bike. Ride one and make the call. It’s much more fun riding a slow bike fast, than riding a fast bike slow.
It's never the bike. It's who's on the seat.
the dudes bike who was doing wheelies sounded like an angry fly trying to smack through glass

Great video demonstrating that you don't need a big bore bike to ride well.

Where were you at? That land looks like a lot of fun!
Que buen lugar! Muy buena para comenzar con la 230! Yo compre una hace poco y estamos aprendiendo, Saludos desde Córdoba Argentina!
