I think you’ll find that the pic is a 230F. I have never seen a 230L in Britain. I think they were only destined for the States, as 230s in Britain typically entered offroad dealers as unregistered kids bikes, the biggest in the CRF70, CRF150 range.
CRF250Ls are a very different beast to the 230F.
250L is modern fuel injected road engine, with modern softly set suspension. Clutch is road based and lasts 3 minutes if you get stuck on a hill! Gear lever sticks out too far and is very strong, so prone to break shaft if you have a slow speed off.
230F is oldfashioned aircooled with a tough clutch that puts up with years of abuse by kids! Brakes are old-fashioned too, rear is a drum which fills with water and becomes useless. Suspension is stiffer than 250L, and bike handles offroad more like trials than trail.
