On Jan 23, 2008, I visited a Honda dealer in Colorado Springs and took a few pictures of the '08 CRF230L on the showroom floor.
The black canister is the so-low-tech EPA-mandated vapor collection system. Ugly.	Gimme some black canister. (Gimme some cow bell)	The headlight looks good from the front..	..but a little boxy from the side. $4499 got BUX?
Now we know why the headlight nacelle looks so boxy - it hides a lot.	Could this be any bigger?	Another look, just in case you missed it.	That brake pedal looks a little out of line.
Wimpy chain guide - one sided only.	Here's something a lot of 230F riders would like to have. Now where is that parts catalog?	Snappy strappy!	Square downtube.

For 2008, Honda announced a street-legal CRF230L. After carefully looking at the announcement picture, I decided that the 230L is not a modified CRF230F but, instead, is an updated XR200. I based my conclusion on the appearance of the engine, carburetor mounting, exhaust pipe mounting, airbox, side number plate, rear brake master cylinder, rear brake pedal, and frame.

I searched web sites in Japan to see if I could find a Japanese domestic-only 200 or 230, which would serve as the base model. I found an XR230, a bike suspiciously like the new 230L. Notice the street-legal equipment.

Here is a picture of the '08 CRF230F that Brazil gets. It's just like the '08 US 230F with a headlight added (and it has the same drum rear brake our 230F has).

I took pictures of an '08 CRF230F, so I could compare the L and F to see similarities and differences.
230L right side engine. Note the engine side cover detail, the brace on the downtubes, the pipe mount, and footpeg mount.	230F engine - compare the side cover detail.	230F frame - compare the downtube brace and pipe mount.	230F pipe - compare the pipe bend.
230L left side engine. Note the engraved 'HONDA', inspection cap, sprocket cover, and footpeg mount.	230F engine - compare the engraved 'HONDA', inspection cap, and sprocket cover.	Although the footpeg mount can't be seen, we all know the 230F footpeg mounts bolt to the frame, unlike the 230L mounts, which are welded.

This manufacturer's label shows that the 230L is made in Japan. Well, at least THIS 230L in THIS Colorado dealership is.
(I had to take two pics because I couldn't get the whole label in the picture from one angle.)

This label shows that the 230F is still made in Brazil (Brasil). What civs are in civ 6 walkthrough. Well, at least THIS 230F in THIS Colorado dealership is.
