Q: I recently purchased a 2017 CRF250L Rally. I’m truly in love with this bike. However, the 250 engine isn’t quite enough. I was wondering if you could recommend a custom shop that could bore out the engine to a 350, add some much-needed suspension performance, and turn this bike into the lightweight adventure bike it’s pretending to be.

My intentions are twofold. (like the Yamaha DT-07 Street Tracker). Second, I’d like to show the Big Four what they should be building: a lightweight dirt-bike-based adventure-touring bike.
