Agreed, I love all of them. I can't afford any, but love them all the same.

When I bought my 300L I was 6’5” and 250 lbs. I’m now down to 220 lbs. I haven’t managed to get any shorter but this has been the best power mod I’ve found for the bike.

[@niallleslie7419]

Yes, I'm 6'5"+ and about 215 lbs. in full riding gear. People often forget that it is the total weight of the machine, rider and all gear which counts. That is why diets are such an inexpensive performance upgrade as are lithium batteries, tubeless tires etc.

[@jarrodleis4046]

That’s awesome. Dirt biking is the best exercise!

[@got_to_roll]

👏🏻👏🏻😎 I'm 6'4" and down 20 pounds to 243 this year. Can't wait to actually get my 300 Rally to see how much more I can lose!

Nice drop in wait. Congrats.

Well done! Its tough losing 30lbs. I bet you feel way better as well

[@eirizarry2568]

The front brake line has a PVC sheath…..where it slides up & down through a slider on the left side of the dash. Use a heat gun….gently heat the PVC sheath and bend it slightly to curve forward. When it cools the PVC sheath will retain its forward bend and the brake line will remain out of your way and not block your view of the dash. It only takes a slight curve forward and it will be out of your way.

[@ThaDirtyMick]

😮😮😮bro you just saved me sooooo much trouble

[@Doorgunner50]

Great tip! You can also add an extended bolt for the left guide loop off Amazon. It will help move the line forward.

[@MathiasKarlssonErik]

Just spent a day course in a quarry. Most of the street legal bikes were KTM but there was als a CRF300L. The KTM are way more aggressive, fun but also harder to control. The CRF300L is super easy to control and super confidence inspiring. Absolutely awesome bike, especially considering the reliability and the price. I yet have to get my hands on a Husky 701.

[@mmpatriot2170]

Thanks for the great review. The CRF300L Rally is at the top of my list. I’m a novice rider, 5’ 10”, 180# and I live in the Wasatch mountains in Utah. I sent messages out to all the Honda dealers in the state a few days ago asking about price and availability. I got a call back the next morning from a smaller town dealership down south. A guy had cancelled his deposit on a Rally ABS the evening before. I’m going to pick it up on Saturday. 👍

[@hankwojo]

I had the 250L and loved it. I sold it and bought an Africa Twin. I really liked it also BUT the weight eventually got to me. I replaced it with the 300L Rally. Yes, it is under sprung, however, I replaced the rear shock and front fork spring with K-Tech for my weight 255 lbs). Rear Shock $545. Front spring $93. Makes a big difference. I am not a real aggressive rider, I just like to explore. You can do the replacement work yourself, just take your time and one step at a time. Also, for the shorter rider, KoubaLink makes a lowering link ($179) that should resolve the height issue. Tusk makes at least three different soft luggage options for this type of bike. So, there it is, you buy this bike and invest a grand and your off on your own adventure exploring. Well worth the money. I wish I would have done this when I was much younger. P.S. Throw in a skid plate and handguards, another $250. Now you can go anywhere!

[@airadaimagery692]

Luv my 300 Rally! Seat concepts seat was the best mod I’ve made so far. I couldn’t ride for more than an hour and half without my rear end getting soar. Swapped the handlebars out and added bark busters. When I get the extra cash I’ll upgrade the suspension, but I’m fine with it for right now. Just gives me something to look forward to.

[@dylanyoung3911]

I just reserved a Rally and am planning on the K-Tech suspension. I agree $650 total for suspension puts this bike at the top with all the other aspects of the bike. Do you have any reservations on K-tech at all or are you completely happy with it? Not many reviews out there so I'm wondering why so many go with more expensive options.

[@hankwojo]

@@dylanyoung3911 I suppose it depends on what kind of riding you are planning to do. I am not a hard enduro highly technical type of rider. I like a little bit of a challenge but I like exploring off the beaten path. I think the Rally was designed for a little more distance (bigger gas tank than the 300L standard model), bigger brake rotors, a little bit more weather protection, etc. Mainly I upgraded the suspension because my size and weight definitely put the OEM suspension to the test. I decided on K-Tech due to value, other reviews that I have found (check some of the 300L forums). The K-Tech seemed reasonably priced. Yes, there are more pricier options with all the adjustments you need and more. But if you are going to ride hard and fast on technical woopy stuff and beat it on single track the CRF300L Rally may not be the bike for that type of stuff. I would think the DRZ, KTM or Husky would be more fitting. On the other hand, if you're going to pack a small bag, head out with no destination in mind I think the 300 Rally with the K-Tech upgrade will handle anything you come across. I hope this answers you question, yes I am happy with it. But, that's me. It's definitely night and day compared to stock.

[@Matt-zn4zp]

I too have a 300L and just bought K-Tech front spring and complete rear shock. Looking forward to seeing the difference. I’ll try to report back when I get some time on the new suspension.

[@BigRockMoto]

thanks for the info

[@billsmotrilla6215]

The front brake line is routed that way to allow for full suspension travel without excessively flexing and stressing the brake hose.

[@joemac8474]

I rode my XR650L from Prudhoe to Ushuaia and just changed the front sprocket as needed and changed out tires too. I rode mostly 80/20 tires even on the Dalton and Ruta 40. Really liked the simplicity reliability of the Honda. I tried a CRF250L for a thousand miles but just not enough grunt.

[@iducatifan1]

That's cool

[@mediocreman2]

Little difference in new price between the two as well.

[@pfcokelly]

I really want the 300l to be good enough to replace my xr650l. I absolutely adore my red pig but she is heavy, chugs gas, and no abs(can't tour well can't technical well) The freeway review of the 300l has me thinking it's not enough. I want the reliability and power of the XR with the weight and modern stuff of the 300l.

[@TheMotorman116]

@@pfcokellysame exact predicament. The 650 is a good bike, but after three years I still can’t get over the height and weight. I rode a dirt only XR 250 for years as a kid, so the 650 was bought out of nostalgia mostly, and thinking I could deal with the weight and being taller than my old 250. Now I’m looking at a 300L and saying goodbye to the big red.

[@AzPauly]

@@TheMotorman116 I'm having similar thoughts..owned the XRL 15 years.. now nearly 60, getting hard to sling my leg over the seat and weight is getting difficult to manage..have a little XT225 for solo camping trips and use it more often, in fact just put 300mi on it in Moab last week, but lacks road speed to connect forest roads..let us know if you get the 300L and your thoughts on it..

[@demetriuscooksey7147]

I was seriously considering this bike, but after seeing the freeway test I know it's not going to be the right motorcycle for me. Very useful review of this bike because it gave me the information I needed. Thanks!

[@bigdaddy2955]

Some basic mods to this bike would up the power significantly, while lowering its weight overall. All bikes require some mods to make it right for you and how you ride. Don't be chased off because of one reviewer.

@Big Daddy I agree. But my wife likes to ride 2-up with me. No replacement for displacement!

[@demetriuscooksey7147]

@Dave C. we used to put around on forest service roads with an old DR250. We weren't trying to win any races, we just enjoyed exploring together. I put on a bigger back sprocket, a pipe that breathed a little better, and beefed up the suspension. It was great until we discovered a DR650 that we could ride TO the trail on and didn't have to load and unload the thing from the pickup. We sold the 650 years ago because we started a family.

[@mike_mikeff]

5 days now I am proud to be an owner of this bike. I am 75 kilos and 1.73 cm and the bike fits amazing on me and the suspension feels great! I haven't done any serious off road but believe me the greek cretan roads where I leave are very bad.. before his I owned a kawasaki kaze r115 and the and the deference of course is chaotic. I rent the previous model 250l for a couple of days before I purchase my 300l and the experience you get is by far far better. The way it delivers its power its amazing.. bravo honda ! This bike is epic! Amazing video kepp up!!

[@mike_mikeff]

@Enzo Moresi yes yes.. its true. Because when you sit the suspension is very soft. So as a result the half of my both feet touch the ground. Also the bike is very light and weight handling is never a problem

[@Propelled]

Went with the KLX, had the suspension tuned and dropped by the magicians at Noleen. It’s an amazingly perfect trail bike now. The suspension even though dropped two inches is so perfect that I don’t miss the ground clearance one bit. The suspension is perfectly balanced and allows for a lot more carry speed. Being lowered, it is so much more enjoyable on the tight stuff. Added the amazing Fasstflex bars to it and bigger pegs. Perfection.

[@billygraham2132]

Simply not enough power for Cali freeways. I love Honda. I’d buy a Drz400

How about the CRF300 from your house through Death Valley and then to Vegas for room and great meal and then back home the next day. I am strongly considering the 300 or maybe the KTN 390. I am only after FUN.

[@mikemerrill175]

Had a DRZ that I rode off road for 6 years including the OR dual sport series. It was heavy, had brittle engine cases, and needed a 6th. And, it sounded great. Like all Suzukis, it was bullet proof & the suspension was OK. I replaced it with a KTM 450 EXC which was higher maintenance but much better all around.

[@dr.x4050]

Big Rock Moto, my casual observation: It looks like this bike suits you better than other bikes you owned, such as the KTM 690, WR250, and maybe even the Tenere if you care about low mpg, quiet, smoothness, low weight, and easy seat height, etc. Suspension, brakes, and tires are easy to fix.

[@izuksammy]

After changing the springs on my DRZ for my weight (230-240), I will always do it as an early mod. Makes a huge difference.

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

Sell it to someone who weighs similar to you

[@doc650adventures]

Great Review Ian! A friend of mine is looking to purchase the CRF300L. You really can't beat it for the cost and durability. Problem is, they sell them out as soon as they arrive at the dealerships. Enjoyed the outtakes and I hope your leg is feeling much better. Cheers!

[@ronald8673]

My local dealer says this years limited supply will only be sold to deposited buyers. None will be available for "showroom display". Several nearby dealers say the wait list is already out to Sept./Oct.

[@jasonmarshall4567]

I was going to buy the 300 rally but bought a used KTM 690 Enduro after researching the power and suspension upgrades I would eventually do. Does seem like a nice bike for the price.

[@gabecanderson]

That's exactly what I did too. Had a 300L on order, it was delayed several months, and while I was waiting I scored a '19 690R at a good price. Couldn't be happier.

[@TheIdlesurfer]

I have the Husqvarna 701, 2016 so a bit less powerful than the 2017 and later versions. I'm very pleased with my choice but it is not a novice ride. I got it as a novice and it bit my arse a fair few times. Mine has a Rally Raid screen and a Seat Concepts seat, so it is a light ADV. I've done a lot of miles off road on it and it is pretty good on road, for a big single. I'm not tempted by the 300.

[@gautamasakyamuni6688]

Right choice!

[@TonyHerson]

In my opinion the rally is kinda a bad option. It's a terrible adventure bike and a bad dirt bike. The L makes more sense. It's not pretending to be something it's not

[@BruceHoult]

@@TonyHerson watch this and tell me the 300 Rally isn't almost an unfair advantage vs the KTMs and Huskies in Aus/NZ adv riding. He's got upgraded suspension on his 300 Rally, as have I on my 250 Rally. I paid US$4200 for mine, brand new, on the road (a 2019 model bought in March 2020), and spent $900 on the suspension, so I'm in for $5100 all up.

Thanks for posting this excellent review and I hope you're feeling better soon! After initial 600 mile oil and filter change, manual recommends oil change every 8,000 miles, filter every 16,000 miles. I'd do both every 4,000.

Was original planning on buying a cheap dual sport, and this was one of my choices. But now I’m leaning towards the Rally, 500x or the 390Adv. Thanks for the content brother, KEEP FEEDING US! 👌🏽

[@clutch2315]

Check out FortNine's video on the 390 adventure before spending money on one. I had a 2018 500x but it had the 17 inch front and rear tires. not the best selection of tires for it, plus it was quite top heavy when trying to do any trail work. I'm now on a 2014 CRF250L to get better at off roading and trail work before going to something bigger.

[@hiltonmcconnell2563]

I have the KTM 390 Adventure and will take it over the Honda CB 500X I did up grade the hand guards and bash plate to the better KTM ones. also went with the Dunlop TrailMax Mission tires. Just over 10,000 Km and loving it, and the tires are only down 2mm another 8mm to go. I use it on Paved, gravel, and dirt roads and some trails. It is much more off road than you would think. the ground clearance is lacking but the suspension more than makes up for it. The KTM also retunes it at the first service, and that makes quite a difference, so them that are testing it before the first service do not know what this bike will do. Good luck on what ever you get.

[@hiltonmcconnell2563]

@@clutch2315 The FortMine's video on the 390 adventure is a joke there are some that actually take the 390 Adventure on some pretty gnarly trails and it does them no problems. I wonder about these guys who take a bike around the parking lot and then think they know what the bike is capable of. You do need to up grade the bash plate but you can get it form KTM. I have mine set up as a ADV bike but there is a girl who has hers set up for off road and dose mostly off road on it. Main difference would be the tires. After the first service they reset it and then you find out what the KRM 390 Adventure will do ring its neck and it gets up and moves out, Has to be one of the most fun bikes I have had, in over 55 years of riding. And I have ridden the CRF 500 X so I do know the difference. Off road the CB dose not come close to the KTM and not much difference on the highway. and a plus is that on a 14.5 liter gas tank I get as many miles as the Honda with a 17 liter gas tank.

[@vtrack1963]

Quality review on this bike. I appreciate the amount of work and how thorough you are on all your bike reviews. The suspension is totally inadequate…You are remarkably forgiving on the review for a bike that is not rideable by many looking for a dual sport. Suspension components cost a lot which negates one of the best features of the bike. So if you have the know-how and are willing to spend the money for a quality rear shock & spring and front fork springs this is really a $6500 - $7000 motorcycle. Do that and you have a great $7000 bike… A better question is why reward Honda by buying this? Maybe the KLX300 or DRZ400 aren’t that bad of a choice. Also as you approach that $7000 price point it really opens up other possibilities to, “What can I get for the same amount of money?”.

Nice and thorough review. I own a CRF250L and have 20K on it since 2019 and I'm looking at a 300L or 300R. From your review, I gather that the ride on the 300L is very similar to the 250L. I've been riding almost 60 years. Weight 170. I find the very soft suspension ideal. With a bad back, hips, knees, and neck I find the ride of this bike the only one my body can handle. I spend little time off-road and mostly ride back-roads in the country. Maybe they designed it for aging-out boomers and beginners in mind.

[@LARGO125]

Awesome review as always. This bike really goes to show that you just can't have everything. Power=weight, power + light weight= $$$, offroad capable= sacrificing suspension for hiway, offroad + hiway supension= $$$$. I think if I was looking at a Honda CRF I would be asking myself just what I'm looking for. If I'm riding mainly offroad I would look at the 250. If I'm doing more road/hiway miles or I was looking at a SuMo bike? I would probably spend the extra money for the 450L which a lot of ppl forget about.

[@lastsonofkrypton36]

I don't know about people forgetting about the 450L; it's more that it really isn't an L-class bike. If it was, it would be a bigger hit. Instead, it has much higher maintenance intervals and cost.

[@daletalaplaya5086]

I ordered the race tech suspension, new handlebars and hand guards, seat concepts seat and have the R80 bags. In central and south America you really don't need more than this. With livestock, horse carts and dogs chasing you, 60mph is plenty. Hope you feel better Ian, thanks for the review.

[@Hemlck]

Not sure what is available easily in the States but in the UK a simple £240 YSS shock and rider matched spring is easily fitted and transforms the bike. To be honest anyone buying a CRF should budget for this simple upgrade👍

I finally got my 300L! Easily my unicorn dualsport given my countryside riding environment. Nearly perfect 👌🏻

[@rickdelmonte1682]

Having owned my Rally for a while now (I bought it before the craze began). I think your review is spot on. As a new and relatively light rider (165lbs.), I have not had issues with the suspension and I can upgrade as my skill increases. The bike has enough power to cruise at 70 to 75mph, but it does not feel particularly stable at those speeds, especially with a cross wind. For me the biggest negative is a snatchy throttle which is really noticeable doing slow speed maneuvers in 1st gear. Even with a Throttle Tamer I have not been able to fix it.

Yeah, it's curious that no manufacturer has made that bike. I mean, they see the success of the DRZ, right? And listen to any owner and they bemoan the missing 6th gear and wonder why FI hasn't been brought on yet. Still, I also wonder why my mid-2000s XT225 is ~250lbs wet, and these "newer" dual-sports are over 300lbs. It isn't the small increase in engine cc's. A late 90s XT350 weighs less than this modern 300cc bike. Why?

[@mikeguitarification]

I believe stock tires on this bike are IRC not Dunlop, there have been many videos on this bike where people complain about the stock tires. I personally do not find them to be that bad. I don't use this bike on highways, and didn't get it expecting it to be a highway cruiser. Overall I would agree with your review of this bike.

[@erminigil69]

Excellent Review. I own one and I agree one pretty much everything you said. Although, for me, the suspension is not an issue. I've owned an enduro before and yes, the suspensions was not even comparable. But the crf300l, being lower seated, a plush suspension, it can go everywhere. I went in some path that only jeeps could go. The first gear is so low and the engine is so torquy, I don't have to touch the clutch lever in hard terrain. It is not an enduro, it's a go everywhere bike. When I intend to go far and hit the highway for long distances, I take my KTM 1190r :)

[@kymstock1852]

Due to the sand tracks we have locally, my choice was the DRZ400E model. Having ridden a WRF280 in sand, it had had adequate power for sand, but it was frenetic to ride for long distances with any comfort. I had tried Honda XR250, DRZ250, KLX300 and of those the KLX300 was more stable in sand and had adequate power. The problem with the KLX is the tank size is limited by the perimeter frame. You can adapt an Acerbis 20L petrol tank to either of the XR and DRZ 250's. My question is have Honda made the rear subframe strong enough for taking luggage weight. I have spent 5 years riding a Tiger 800XCx and while it was a great all road tourer, the size and weight does limit where you choose to ride it. I am back to riding the DRZ400 now. Yes the gearbox ratios are weird ( I fitted a ACT gear set to simulate a 6 speed box spread), the suspension needs stiffening, but there are a lot of after market products to suit the bike. Lack of fuel range would limit this bike in countries which fuel stations are 300-400 km apart.

I'm a Honda guy. I have a VTX 1800 that is wonderful. I went back and forth but decided to buy the KLX300 in 2021 mainly due to the suspension. I didn't care about the fuel indicator as my VTX doesn't have a fuel guage as well. I'm used to it. I live in a niche area. I drop into downtown Boise, Idaho and in 10 minutes, I'm on a dirt road. In 20 more minutes, I'm up in the trees and riding pretty spectacular trails. The small dual sport bike is perfect for my area. I changed sprockets in order to get a better 2nd dirt gear and I've been happy with my results. I also lowered the bike 1.5 inches. Perfect for my 5'8" frame. Having said this, I'm sure I would have been happy with the Honda as well but made my choice on the data available to me. I think it was the right choice for me as I have not had a Kawasaki. I'm pretty convinced thise Japanese bikes are all great machines. Ride on!

[@wayneh8767]

Ian, great to see the review, likely one of your most anticipated reviews. I could feel your pain on the bottoming out areas! It would be really interesting like you said to try that bike with a good suspension upgrade. The 300L is a great bike though for sure. Funny 😁 the outtakes, I can see you saying "I love my job" , ride safe! Thanks

[@vozspoz2020]

One of the best 300L reviews Ian and I have watched them all. I also own a 300L with a ton of mods, suspension incoming. I have seen a lot of your videos and enjoy the content, would love to see you smile now and again though :)

[@BigRockMoto]

Wow, thanks!

[@feloniousmonk3049]

I had a 1985 Honda XR-350. The single carburetor model. Probably my all time favorite motorcycle. Very reliable, did the suspension mods for my weight, with heavier springs. Never burned oil once I went to Mobil 1 synthetic 4T motorcycle 10w-40 with my oil changes. Just a great bike, I kept it for a long, long time. Honda has come a long way, with this bike. So much improvement.

[@jeman022004]

I really wish they would work on combining the best aspects of the 450L and the 300L. The maintenance interval, initial price, and ecu+exhaust mod requirement are the biggest cons of the 450L. You can pick up the 450L used for under $8k now. Getting close to a better value with more power and better suspension. I am so torn between the 300 and 450. I am looking to make a lightweight ADV build as an alternative to my heavy Africa Twin.

[@mikeisland7382]

Such a shame they sold the 450L with a throwaway tank and seat. That adds another $1000 to the price for riders to pay after purchase.

[@avinbarana3015]

Very honest and detailed... probably the best review of CRF 300 ever.

[@posteroonie]

If the CRF300L is set up for a 120 lb rider (like the average Thai customer? beginning teenagers? who's the target?), I imagine that heavier fork oil and an aftermarket shock would make it OK for 160 lbs for $300.

[@sv650nyc7]

Yes, a lot of Japanese bikes are sprung for 120 lbs riders. That seems to be a common weight over there. All you need is to replace the springs with heavier ones, which is probably less than $200 for two fork springs and one shock spring if you do it yourself (like I did on my bike). No need to buy a completely new shock or change the fork oil.

[@K9River]

Yeah. I'm not a 7th grader anymore.

[@MasterChief0093]

That front bake cable has to be there like that. It’s because of the suspension travel. It allows it to not tear. So when the suspension compressed it just rises. There’s videos on why dusk sports and dirt bikes have their brake line like that.

[@jepomer]

Wonderful review. It has helped me finalize my motorcycle directions with the details you provided. In my younger years (early '70s), I road only Hondas. My first was the That XL250 was wonderful and fit my needs to go on trails and also the highway. One time I had my younger brother on the back and we cruised along the Vermont interstate getting up to almost 75 miles per hour if we tucked in. Unfortunately, I sold it while in college. (I did recently find a 1974 XL250 - needs a bit of work.) I was motorcycle-less until about 15 years ago. He sold me his 1986 BMW R80 RT after he bought his first brand new touring BMW. The bike was fun enough to ride, but just wasn't right. I traded with his cousin for a 1982 BMW R65. It had less of the touring "stuff" on it but still wasn't quite right - several wear and tear issues. In April 2017 preparing for my retirement, I bought my second new motorcycle - a 2016 Africa Twin. I considered the CRF250 but I now weigh as much as my brother and I combined back in 1974. The CFR 250 would not quite do it as my only motorcycle. I also consider the CB500X, but it did not have the current features back then. The Africa Twin is a tall motorcycle for someone with a 30 inch inseam - and in reality a returning rider with rusty skills. I almost dropped the Africa Twin on the initial ride home when I stalled it at a traffic light with a left turn and railroad tracks. The OEM seat was already in the low position. Honda's low seat was on order. The low seat helped but my built-in cushioning wanted more on the Africa Twin. Ultimately, I purchased a Sargent low seat. It has more cushioning. Both the Honda low-seat and the Sargent seat have me at best close to the balls one my feet - tip-toe is probably a more accurate description. On the highway and local roads, I have no real issues with the seat hight. The Africa Twin handles the interstate so smoothly that I found myself in the fast lane at speeds I could never approach with my XL250. A State Trooper even verified the degree of excess speed. Afterwards I looked at my GPS tracks that showed me a bit slower. I suspect that when I took my helmet off and he saw my white hair and beard, he was probably expecting a younger person. He gave me a warning. (I believe my veteran plate also helped.) I had been considering selling my Africa Twin. It has very low mileage since I road very little during Covid days and with some health issues just before that. But I would miss the the highway and back road capabilities of the Africa Twin. The CFR300 would be fun for trail riding. I can lower the suspension an inch more which would allow me to be solidly on the balls of my feet. I decided that I need to get that 1974 XL250 running again for those short off road adventures and enjoy them like Noraly. Thank you for your in depth review. Hope that leg healed quickly.

Advice to you.... You often say "Me being honest" Of course, that's what we want & looking for, from people like you & that's why we keep coming back. We see too many KZbinrs working for the company and/or bikes that they are reviewing & We, the general public get it after a few reviews. When the trust is lost, there is no turning back, because we will never know when he is telling the truth or he is flattering who is working for, and Unfortunately there are too many doing it. So my advice to you, keep telling us your truth base on your experiences, and we will always come back for more. In my opinion your truth will not be always right, as no one is perfect, but honesty and the willingness of doing good, will always win even though we may be wrong at times. Cheers!

Problem, I’m a big guy, 6’3 for 240 so which one…..I like the idea of the 300 rally but it will need 1000$ of upgraded suspension and now we are in the price range of the DRZ and XR650L . Ian!

Thumbs up; good review. I have the '22 Rally ABS, and have about 1500 miles on it. It's totally fine so long as you don't expect ripping freeway performance and rapid overtaking. If you want the power, you're going to get more weight, and cost. I think you're WAY overstating the break line issue in front of the dash. On mine it is absolutely no issue. Just forget about it. I suspect that the '22 Rally (delivered mid summer of '22) has a bit more suspension than everyone else has been saying, because it just isn't that bad. I've had it airborne a few times and, meh; it just doesn't seem to be a problem. I weigh about 180 lbs and so far haven't carried much luggage on the bike. Maybe if you're accustomed to nice motocross bikes you'd see the 300 Rally suspension as sorely lacking, but for casual trail riding and commuting it's fine. Also I suspect that Honda increased the length of the side stand since they shipped the first bikes, because mine is plenty long. I'm definitely looking forward to getting more aggressive off-road tires, but I'm going to wear out the factory tires first.

[@dirtdad8478]

Thanks again for a great review. This is actually one review I was really looking forward too. I am so confused right now! I want a lighter bike for adventure type rides. I was considering this bike in the rally configuration. So, I was going between the 300 Rally, KLR, Tenere 700, KTM 390. So far I think I am going to lean towards the Tenere. I have a super tenere for 7 yrs now, and I just love the sound and power on the hwy. I was going KLR, owned 5. But it is not going to be a whole lot different. I appreciate the time you take on your reviews. This has really helped me come to terms with the type of bike I am searching for. Cheers! Hope heal up quick.

[@FrenchyRider574]

I'm gonna get the 300 rally, I think it's the best lightweight adventure bike. Count an extra 1000$ to upgrade the suspensions to your weight, 1000$ to get new exhaust and ecu (550 performance) to make the engine a lot more alive and torquey and then just some barkbusters and handlebar risers and you got an off road weapon that is still more affordable than any other options...

[@glossblack1098]

Consider the KTM 690 too. Same hp as T7 but 50 kg lighter and better suspension.

[@PapaDougsAdventures01]

As mentioned the T7 is a LOT heavier and really in the Middle weight class and $5000 US more than the CRF300L. The KTM 390 Adv has a lot more horsepower,is over a $1000 more and has a smaller front wheel. I have a Tenere 700 on order and I own the 890 Adv R so I’m looking for a smaller more “Flickable” bike.

On this side of the pond, slower traffic stays to the right and faster traffic passes on the left and moves back to the right when the way is clear. Opposite in UK of course. Generally lane discipline is very good, Germany being Excellent and UK being the worst. No wonder ppl in the US consider the highways dangerous in such a free for all. I often take my old Honda NX250 on the Autobahn and just have to stay where I belong. Back to the 300L. Rally Raids seem to offer some excellent suspension options. I guess it depends how deep your pockets are. Thanks for the excellent review.

Good review as always Ian. The bike has potential. Just needs more power for highways, better brakes and suspension. I think Honda needs to be less conservative much like Yamaha.

Your speed evaluations for the freeway are spot on.. Honda should have tweaked the suspension on the 300 knowing how soft the 250 was (joke) Oh, the exhaust, I've got an FMF system on order so in the meantime I have taken out the spark arrester and modified the tail pipe from 1" to 1.5" for breathing along with the air box being "bored out" and a K&N Hope you're on the mend keep up the great work!

I like both the 300L and the 300 Rally but Honda needs to change the shape of the fuel tank so riders can sit against the tank without having to spread your legs soooo wide due to the way the tank flares.
