Honda press release:

Honda is offering another hot “Honda Dollars” deal, this time on trail bikes including the CRF230F and CRF230L.

From 18th March to 30th June 2009, customers will receive $400 credit with purchase of either model which can then be utilised in a variety of ways within the dealership they purchased from.

Honda Dollars can be used for purchase of accessories, servicing or simply as a discount off the bike.

Both bikes offer electric start, friendly power delivery and smooth handling, and are squarely aimed at offering the newer rider much needed confidence, regardless of conditions.

Powered by a 223cc air-cooled engine with a compression ratio of 9.0:1, both bikes offer a user friendly, wide power-band with plenty of grunt.

The CRF230L and CRF230F’s six-speed gearbox lends plenty of versatility for just about every riding environment, and the heavy-duty clutch delivers smooth, progressive engagement with good feel and feedback.

Suspension and rider comfort are also paramount with the CRF230’s offering a box-section aluminium swingarm, 37mm Showa front forks with plenty of travel and low motocross-style seat allowing for maximum rider movement.

The CRF230L is available now from Dealers nationally for $6,990 making it a highly affordable option for those looking for only the best in a dual purpose machine. The CRF230F retails at just $5690.
