My favorite adventure bike has 25 horse power

If you’re into real motorcycle adventures, off-road travel, and want to see what it’s like to ride solo through some of the most challenging terrains in the world, this video is for you. Expect wild landscapes, breakdowns, unbelievable kindness from strangers, and a no-BS take on what makes the best adventure bike. Hit play and see why I believe the Honda CRF250L is the ultimate travel machine.

The CRF250L carried me through everything: icy roads in France, breathtaking coastal routes in Spain, and the grueling sand dunes of the Sahara desert. Along the way, I met incredible people, including a barefoot local named Hasan who took my bike for a joyride in the middle of the desert. And the craziest part? Back home in my garage, I had a brand-new Yamaha Tenere 700 waiting for me—bought specifically for this trip. But after some test rides, I left it behind. Now, after 25,000km, I know I made the right choice. This video is not supposed to hate on big adventure bikes as they certainly have their place. I just want to offer a different perspective from an average rider.

The Honda CRF250l isn’t perfect, yet it is perfect for me.
