CRF300L | Back at it! First Ride 2023

Back on the 300L! Love this thing. Every time I swing my leg over this bike, it's a blast.
Brushing the cobwebs off, getting a feeling for the bike in stock form before installing the 550 Performance ECU!

[@simonbeer5259]

Picked up my new crf300l couple of weeks ago,10 more miles and it’s run in,can’t wait to get in a bit of off roading in😊amazing talent you have, reminded me of the speeder bikes going through the forest in empire strikes back

[@tangosucka2000]

Return of the Jedi, but yeah sure does.

[@Sealablebag]

I am still waiting for my 2023 300l to arrive and periodically worry about if I made a bad choice. Watching you rip like this assures me you can have an absolute blast on the bike😀

[@alinn.4341]

I'm 6 3 or 190cm and 90+ kg. It needed a suspension upgrade, so I got new rear shock K-Tech and new spring for my weight on the front. Also because I'm tall bought new bar + risers and now looking for lowered pegs and higher seat. But those are my issues from being tall. The bike is super fun, goes fast to 90km/hr without issues, cruising at 115 - 120 km. Power was my biggest concern, but its pretty good. I would consider getting exhaust and ECU flash, but here is Europe they gave us a shitty ECU that costs $500+ to flash.

[@Thomohawk21]

How are you going with it??

[@patrykkrupcala6967]

im waiting too, in a few days I will be the Owner too, have worries too...

[@ditcka1]

a year later do you regret your decision? I dont.

[@969Garage]

Is this a bike somthing you can grow with? Im use to sport atvs and never had an dual sport. I just dont want to get sick of the power too fast. Looks like your having a ball tho.

[@rhw8567]

🔥

[@mikey2864]

How on earth did you lean to do that? I have one too CRF300l ... but my goodness me... you have confidence at pace. Thanks. Now I know what can be done. Do you think ItchyBoots could do it as fast as you? (I'm a great fan of Norely, so be careful with your answer please :-) ). Thanks again, Mikey

[@losjabalinesOffRoad]

Hi there ! What kind of blinker did you get ? And where? Regards!

[@ridingwithmrP]

What a refreshing change to see someone who can actually ride this bike so different from the usual crowd who look for excuses to compensate their lack of ability. yeah for sure it needs some upgrades suspension mainly, 40 years ago I raced but I just enjoy trail riding now and this bike is perfect for me…ride on Pat 😀👍

[@bk6271]

I don't know what your complaining about , you came in first.

[@seekadv8066]

Great to see you back out giving the 300 a run. Look forward to your thoughts on the 550 ecu.

[@moto2org]

This is my second year on the same bike, your rides are super inspirational. I wish I could ride half as good as you! I'm still learning how to ride off road, but I keep practicing and learn every time I'm out on the trail. Your videos help me a lot. Thanks.

[@patoneill555]

Awesome, I'm super stoked to hear that!! Keep it up 👊✊️

[@brenmac]

dude you were ripping through those trails haha had me freaked out for a second. the bike looks like it handles really well I've been wanting the crf250L for years but i'm now considering this for next year. I might just buy one

[@sambruchh]

Watching you rip on this bike is always fun to watch! I have a 250l and Im still trying to improve on the trails and off-road.

[@trashpandatrailadv]

Glad that I am not the only person out there scraping off the rust and winter weight in an effort to get their dualsport out there! haha

[@kevin-ll9nx]

Some said you can't ride the 300 hard I said you're wrong told him to watch you're videos.

[@patoneill555]

Thanks dude! 🤘 🤘

[@kubicafan6048]

Really enjoyed your video pal... I Love that track you riding.

[@nickhoffman7344]

More of this! Interested to hear about 550 ecu.

[@507sounds]

Keep thinking how funny it would be to see a vid from you absolutely dominating some 2-strokes on this bike in an enduro race. But, I wonder if you could push it this hard on an unknown track? I think you're a really good rider. Great videos Thanks!!

[@patoneill555]

Might be a video on that soon...

[@johannaonamotorcycle]

I’v had my CRF300L for a year now. I came from big bikes and no enduro or mx experience before. I have ridden enduro twice now with CRF300L and found out that my bike is way more capable than me 😂 I shall continue my enduro practices and hopefully I get better.

[@jaime7890]

Do you plan on entering any harescramble or enduro with the CRF? That would be awesome to see on a video!

[@patoneill555]

There might be some races for the 300 this year... 🤔

[@bcuzicancuellar5478]

Awesome riding! Took me back to 1974 on my 125 Elsinore! Ride safe, just subscribed!

[@salazam]

Seeing someone actually ride this gives me the confidence I'm not missing out by not getting the 450RL. Everyone else makes it seem like a TW200, fat slow hog of a bike. Btw your beard is so full it looks fake, and it's always the same length in every video. You ARE a Vulcan, aren't you? (If I remember correctly Vulcans can't grow beards, but I could be wrong. I'm not a Star Trek nerd)

[@dylangraham5509]

What an animal is going to have to be your slogan! Put it on a t shirt lol.

[@patoneill555]

I like it!!!

[@jeffferguson899]

I could only hope to ride as well as you

[@josepfrancesc8776]

Your crf 300l has the infamous 4-5k rattle.

[@patoneill555]

I'll have to take your word for it. Can't say I have noticed.

[@uni-byte]

So, are you doing the Terra Nova on the CRF300L this y ear?

[@patoneill555]

I'm thinking so.

[@alzarien2124]

Woowww I was waiting for this! Keep driving like you stole it!! More videos please!

[@Davidlouis3]

Brilliant Pat wish I had those skills

[@restingbikeface]

Looking snazzy with the matching gloves

[@bjornjou4435]

Do you know how much hp you have right now? It looks so easy to wheeli this bike. Could not imagine that this is possible with 27 hp.

[@christophroither8206]

Hi Pat! I really enjoy your video content.. i am thinking about to buy a crf 300 l. But i am a bit afraid because it seems that the frame are not that good? What do you think about the frame?... all the best, Christoph

[@vtoffroadadv735]

Videos are so clean and I love your style of riding. Sheeeewwww

[@patoneill555]

Thanks!!!!

[@cucumbermilk1]

i know this video is 9 months old but do you have weight reduction on there that thing was flying! If so what did you do?

[@patoneill555]

Beyond the weight savings from the tail tidy and aftermarket exhaust, it would be roughly the same as stock weight.

[@cucumbermilk1]

@@patoneill555 Wow your moving that thing like it’s a 200lb race bike. I just ordered mine today I’m so exited for it to come!

why are you breathing so heavy? that looks like a sweet little track tho!

Riding is exercise. You gotta breathe if you want to ride hard.
