Honda has just announced that the CRF 250 Rally Concept will be revealed at the 31st Osaka Motorcycle Show 2015 this weekend. The concept bike is largely based on the CRF 250 L, and is powered by the same 249cc single-cylinder engine but the styling is a copy of the CRF 450 Rally. We can only hope that Honda will eventually build a production version of the model.

The motorcycle show in Osaka this weekend and the 42nd Tokyo Motorcycle Show a couple of weeks later will be pretty important for Honda. The manufacturer has just announced that they will unveil a large number of new bikes and concept prototypes at these domestic shows. The large number means 21 motorcycles so we can’t wait.

One of the most anticipated bikes of these domestic shows would be the CRF 250 Rally. Despite looking like a factory bike, the Rally is not more than a concept at the moment and there’s no official word yet whether Honda will make a production version of the motorcycle. The CRF 250 Rally is largely based on the popular CRF 250 L but the bodywork and the paint scheme resemble very much to the CRF 450 Dakar.

From what we can see on the photos, the Japanese upgraded the front suspension, used LED headlights, a plexiglass windscreen easy-to-manufacture plastic body panels. On the mechanical side, the Rally is not that exotic. The bike is powered by the same 249cc single-cylinder engine found in the CRF 250 L. Stay tuned for more details, we’ll get the full specifications and more photos on the weekend.
