I have the KLX 300 dual sport with snorkel, exhaust, fuel controller ,and more modifications giving me increased hp and torque. It's a great little adventure bike, a bit buzzy at 110 kms plus but off pavement an anywhere bike that is just plain fun. Suspension that's adjustable and off road capable is probably what makes it a few hundred more pricey. great that Honda and Kawasaki have these great price point bikes.

Just watched this again. In Thailand, this is only 3,300 GBP. Went to look at one today. I've got to get one. It'll be a good bike to support my SCR950 and 390 Duke. More comfortable than the Duke, I'd imagine. The CRF is actually 286cc, not 283cc. Every little bit counts. The 300 is a fair bit lighter than I thought it was. 142 kg sounds light to me. 20 kg lighter than my 390. The 300L has an LED headlight in Australia and Asia. I don't like the look of the Rally.

I've got a 2018 250l and my friend has a new 300l. Having ridden them side by side I would say they both have the same flaws..... the standard suspension and tyres. We've both upgraded ours and it's made the world of difference so would definitely recommend. People also want to know if it's worth spending the extra money for the 300 and I would say as long as you get a face-lift 250l (17 onwards) then you don't really notice the extra power or weight loss. I've noticed a few people having a few niggles with the 300l regarding the extra emissions crap but the old 250l are renowned for reliability.

All thr influencers in the states gushed over this bike a year ago. Now they are spending 1 to 2 k on the suspension, boring out the motor and spending twice as much it just to turn it into a DRZ400.

@Doorgunner50 Ай бұрын
Considering the Drz400 doesn't have a reasonable seat height, fuel injection or ABS, it seems a bit like comparing apples to oranges. The Drz may be great for what it was but not quite the same category in my opinion as a recent buyer. I'm 6'1" and could barely tip toe the drz. Have decades of carb tuning and am just done with it. I'll give fuel injection and flat footing at stoplights and parking lots a shot. Maybe Suziki and Yamaha could join the twenty first century?

The Beta Alp 200 is still available new in the UK as a viable dualsport, shame the Alp 4.0 was dropped though. But with just 200cc, it struggles a bit on the tarmac... but does come with decent trail suspension and tyres. It is a real shame there aren't more like this CRF, but with maybe a 400cc/450cc engine.... It is a shame thar the CRF 450L was a bit of a flop. The selling point of this bike for me is the service intervals, but if only trail riding, a full on enduro bike isn't too impractical, and if you need to spend £150 on tyres and £500 - £1k on suspension mods, you are now at around £7k and the Beta 390RR is only just over £1k more. I'd not want to ride up to the ABR Festival on my Beta 390 though, but would happily do so on a CRF 300 Rally 🙂

I had the CRF250 Rally when i first got back on two wheels I took it out to where I was working in Holland, 6 hours in that saddle - oooooh I thought i had been to Michael Barrymore’s party! They are a good bike though, in fact so good someone decided to steal it. I then got a Tiger rally pro, which has been taken into Europe and Scandinavia with me, as comfortable as you could want for long journeys but i would not risk taking down a green lane - not because of its capability just my ability, tall bike little legs lol. It is going in part ex on a speedmaster, so I am hoping to either get another CRF or maybe a GasGas to start green laning. I have been looking for some sort of utility vest to mount GoPro camera, what is that system you wear?

Best beginner motorcycle...I guess...ish...because I won't put my family members who are beginners on it, I'd rather put them on my ktm 500 (the later, detuned ones) because I'm afraid they will get hurt by the poor off road handling of the Honda. I have both, so I ride the honda to compensate with my experience to ensure no one gets hurt while we're out having fun. Of course, with the ktm 500, I have to emphasize throttle control and how to not whiskey throttle due to it's grunt, but it's a waaaaay safer bike from the standpoint of safety for a beginner. It's also twice the price, so not a great starting bike. Maybe the smallest ktm 4 stroke is the perfect beginner bike (for full size adults) istead, but the 300L by honda is kludgey and handles poorly in the dirt, unless you riding gravel roads, then it the honda would be perfect for beginners.

I know it's been awhile since you posted this video but have you checked out the fantic xef250 trail? It doesn't have the huge service intervals but better than full on enduro with 1700 mile intervals. Just wondered what your thoughts would be, I've tested both recently just to get into green lanes etc and I'm sitting on the fence as Honda much softer easier to live with but limiting any harder trails if i got enough confidence in time. Hopefully you'll get a test ride to give your thoughts.

lovely little video as always! i had the CRF250L and was really good, but found it a bit down on power, had a small tank range and the seat was rock hard! 😂. the tyres really aren’t great in mud either. You did maybe overlook the G310GS though (that i changed my crf for) and also the KTM 390 Adventure but that’s 6k! touch more power with 34bhp with these but i’d prob say the crf is better off road out the crate but the 310 is better for getting there. Then there’s the Rally Raid suspension upgrades etc you can get for it. Worth a look i’d say, but arguably, not as reliable as the crf or with 8k service intervals.

I have the older CRF250SM version. The same but with a smaller bore. I use it to commute in the city, to work and for the odd green lane. It is so good and underrated. I wish they bring out an SM version as well as this dual purpose one. Would be great to upgrade the bike ti a larger engine. I think lol

I put 30K km on the CRF250M within three years. Bought it new in Thailand when it came out. It has 17" wheels, a bigger front disc, gearing for better top speed and - stiffer suspension! Really loved that bike, it turned me into a hooligan on the streets. Great to explore the countryside going 40 to 80 km/h. Now I live on an island, don't need big power and a CRF300M would be perfect. But it's going to be the L since there is no M.

@@PrimoStracciatella I’m hoping that Honda will bring out an M version of the 300, hopefully using the air box off the CB300 versions which give out even more power. I’d swap that for my bike.

Great vid mate! I rode my Sinnis Terrain, and my NC750X along that track up near Old Winchester Hill... but I haven't been brave enough to take the GSA up there! So it is true, most of us don't take big adventure bikes off-road!

Enjoyed the review, it made me smile the rear end was on the buffers most of the time, I think it was to soft even for Noraly, I think she up-rated the suspension when she got to the States, and then had to have a bit more work done a bit later on. But it is still good value even with those pitfalls . Thank you.

I’d have one. Just as a second/third bike for some green laning and having some fun over winter. The suspension is pretty weak as you said. Rally raid kit and it’d be 👌 and still good value. For my diabolical off road skills it’d probably be enough power.. 😂 We’d all love a nice Husky or a KTM enduro weapon but like you said, 15hrs is potentially servicing every month and it’s a proper commitment.. It’s just an easy bike to live with and it looks decent. Not surprised it’s a good seller. That was a nice little teaser.. 🇬🇷 looking forward to the next video. Any more used bike reviews in the pipeline?
