Got the 2018 black 250 rally , 10k miles on her now , just changed tires 1k ago and never the battery or spark plug , I do need to replace the air filter soon but other than that just oil/filter changes ( I do 2x as many as called for) , and it's been thru every kinda weather and landscape, never a problem .

Hi. Thanks for your comments. Yes there is a shade difference on the pannier rails. The paint looks thicker and of a harder finish on the racks, but this will get a lot of wear and tear from the luggage.

I've had the 300 Rally for 2 years and it has been flawless. Silly off-road trails to highways. I'm looking sideways at a couple of new 450 adventure models from other brands.. But deep down I know Honda is the best choice 😬 It has been flawless, will do genuine enduro off road and dealers are easy to find.

I have also been looking at said 450s you mention (we know who they are 😊). But I’m having way too much fun on my 300L. Seriously it can do 75% of the black trails I do on my Beta X trainer, with the added bonus I can ride it on the Highway to get there (110 KPH speed limit here in Australia ‘no problem at all’).. Liked and Subbed 👍

Totally agree with you. I rode up from near Brighton to the LWA on my 300 Rally and it just purred along up the motorways and then I did a 60 mile trip around Derbyshire doing 6 or 7 trails and it was all done on the standard tyres and suspension. One thing I have learned though is that on the trails I do need to upgrade the suspension and tyres though 👍🏻

That's a fair trip from Brighton. its a fantastic bike on all roads. I did the first year on the stock tyres and suspension, taking in the peak district lanes. I thought the bike handled them all well. but you will see a massive improvement on the upgrades. Thanks for your comments. Mike

The 450 is certainly capable of cruising at 70-80mph. However, it depends on your comfort levels. For me personally 70mph is perfect. But I feel when the bike has over a 1000 miles on it, I can give you a better answer. Cheers Mike

All I can say is that people better not complain about a bike being top heavy, because then they are going to give you a plastic gas tank and giant fuel bulbs like the horrendous KTM 890. Yes, the low center of gravity of "fuel bladders" is nice, but it's an abomination. Without a conventional fuel tank, you can't use a magnetic tank bag. Be glad that the Royal Enfield has a steel fuel tank, because it's one of the best looking motorcycles ever made.

Very interesting video. So impressive to hear about your trip on the 390 with your son - combined weight must have been close to 29 stone plus riding gear. Did you have much luggage, camping gear etc? I had the 390 ony shortlist along with the CB500x and everyone i spoke to said go for the Honda if you're going to be riding two-up - I am and my wife and I are only about 21 stone so we should be absolutely fine. Did you find the seat length ok for the two of you? We've got a test ride booked for Monday so I'm quite excited. I've got a 411 Himalayan at the moment and I just need a bit move "shove"!

My experience with screens is that they work better if they are wide and low. I find a half faring with a low screen is all you need for clean air around the upper body. I also like to have clean airflow around the helmet to prevent visor misting and to clear raindrops. Tall narrow screens cause buffeting around your head. But, I admit, a wide screen won't suit this bike. I did wonder though about covering the crash bars to create a fairing (of sorts).
