Technical Overview
2008 Honda CRF 230 L Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2008 Honda CRF 230 L enduro - offroad motorcycle, Honda pairs a 223 cc (13.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 65.5 x 66.2 mm (2.6 x 2.6 inches) with a 9.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the CRF 230 L measures 121.1 kg (267 lbs) dry.

The 8.7-liter (2.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
