On my 16th birthday 3 years ago I was blessed with the beloved crf 230f that has since been named "the donkey of enduro."
This name has been derived from the fact that this bike is rather slow with very little acceleration, but man, this bike goes absolutely anywhere without breaking a sweat, just like a donkey would.
To me this bike has introduced me to the world of motocross and enduro and has sparked a love of both freedom and adrenaline that the sport has to offer.
To anybody that is thinking of getting into enduro or motocross or just wants a bike that will never give grief to putter around on I'd definitely recommend this trusty donkey. As it is forgiving on hard terrain, it is low maintenance and is still on par with other enduro bikes.
oh and I forgot to mention, it is a dream to wheelie with good power to pick up, good engine break and a trustworthy rear drum break!
I will always be thankful to my parents for introducing me to the world of motorbikes at a young age and to my grandparents for this amazing bike they bought for me 3 years ago today!
