Honda CRF300 rally review, Is it as good as they say?
Honda CRF300 Rally: Where the dirt ends and road begins, the CRF300L Rally is waiting to bring adventure bike capability to your everyday commute. The nimble design and plentiful low-end power combine with smart features for an ideal transportation solution through busy streets and bumpy trails. The bodywork is inspired by Dakar Rally racebikes, which means it looks as good as it performs. The tall windscreen provides solid protection against the elements. And the long motocross-style seat gives you all-day comfort and allows you to easily move around in the saddle. If you have a dual sport that’s even lighter and more affordable in mind, make sure you check out our honda CRF300L.
Honda CRF300L:
Balance is the key when riding any motorcycle. And we’re not talking about just balancing on two wheels: We’re talking about the balance between size, weight, power and handling that makes some bikes great-like the new Honda CRF300L. Based on our previous CRF250L, for 2021, it gets a larger engine with more torque and a whole host of chassis and suspension refinements. What you end up with is one of the best-balanced bikes ever for on- and off-road use. Perfect for weekend trail rides, it’s also among the best choices ever for commuting or urban transportation. And if you’re looking for a version with a windscreen and Dakar-inspired bodywork for a little more weather protection, make sure you check out our new CRF300L Rally.

Other Great Reviews: DRZ 400 Review:

[@muddypawsadventurer7775]

After watching ITCHYBOOTS put 49000 kilometers on her bike, It was surprisingly reliable. the CRF300 Rallye had the longest service interval which appealed to Noraly considering the Brazil to Patagonia to Alaska run. Now, I'm just to big for the bike. I'm 6'6"285. So I weigh more than her and her kit. For what she did 200lbs for person and kit is all I'd consider possible.

I have the Rally. I was amazed and surprised at just how good the soft suspension is............Granted I do not do hard core off roading but handles single track and rough stuff very well. I have learned to stand up where I think the suspension will bottom out. So no complaints whatsoever from me. It is a great bike. Good independent review without the BS.

[@darrenbabcock4912]

I have a 300 rally also. I've done some engine mods, tires and tubliss system. But the best so far is the rally raid level 2 suspension kit front and rear. It has made an incredible difference. The bike can handle more weight for camping and higher speeds off road. It's kind of expensive, but makes this bike so much better. It's getting closer to the perfect all-rounder light adventure bike a lot of us want.

Thanks god bless

You can pay $10k for a lighter bike with a better suspension if you want to go fast. It’s a dual sport trail bike for $6k, $7k in the Rally. If you really want to you can upgrade the suspension for $1000 or less and still be money ahead. You also won’t get near the gas mileage with the $10k+ bikes.

I watched till now :) Are you in NJ?

Good Video ❤

[@kiwiadventurer]

An interesting perspective Andrew. I've set up my Rally for places that are too challenging to my Africa Twin. I will be doing river and creek crossings and single trails as well as tussock tops in the New Zealand's South Island using upgraded suspension that will carry Giant Loop Great Basin rackless luggage for remote camping. I will be using full off road tyres on holiday. Finally I would like to thank you for your most interesting and helpful series.

I would say male or female if you can’t pick the bike up it’s not the bike for you ,I like the 300 rally I’m short and 65 years old I just plod along and take in the views ,I take my hat of to Honda for the reliability of the engine and transmission brilliant in my book ,old jimmy

I just got a Rally a month ago as my first bike and it's fantastic. I'm 6'1 and about 195. I'm absolutely loving the fuel efficiency, range, and smoothness of the Rally. I had read that the headlight was better than the stock 300L headlight, and like you said, it definitely provides excellent visibility at night. I'm going to stick with the stock tires since I'm mainly commuting on it right now, but when it's time for new rubber, I plan on trying the IRC Battle Rally TR8's.

After watching Noraly beat the bejeebies out of her 300 Rally from the bottom of the world all the way to the top I bit the bullet and bought a brand new one. I’m 70 years old, 6’1”, 215 lbs and this bike is absolutely the best bike I’ve ever owned. (And I’ve owed many from Honda 90s to Vintage Indian Chief, Cx500, etc etc etc) It carries my weight easily, maintains 80 mph on the interstate when I need it too and gives a comfortable ride on the old logging and other back roads I like to ride. My bike is bone stock and it’s going to stay that way other than maybe a change in tire and possibly chain and sprocket setup when mine are worn out.

I bought a Rally 2 months ago after a trip with my 1200GS in Spain. On my trips I like to get on unfamiliar tracks and discover new routes but it has the drawback that you can get to a point where a GS can't keep up or you drop it too many times. I have even had to sleep next to the bike due to exhaustion after lifting it too many times. With the Rally that fear disappears, you dare more and at the same time you enjoy enormously reaching isolated places where there is no possible help if problems arise. I think that at 60 years old I have found the ideal combination for the adventure trips I like: a GS and a Rally ... depending on how I wake up in the morning.

Owner opinion: I changed the front and rear suspension to K-tech ( I am 6'2" 265lbs) great upgrade worth it. It doesn't bottom out. I have zero issues with the weight of the bike. It feel light to me. The 550 ecu and exhaust will also improve performance. If you are looking for a bike to have fun riding that reliable this bike is for you. If you are looking for a super fast bike this might not be for you.

I've had the Rally for a few months now, with abt 3500 miles on it. I got it as an ultralight ADV, and not as a heavier dirt bike. The extra tank capacity was the clincher for me, over the regular 300L, but I like the wind protection also, and the fact that the dash is farther out in front. I just don't understand the extra faring underneath. I got it with the ABS, which I like for extended rides on windy gravel roads and on fire cuts in the mountains. I ordered it with the luggage rack and the 12V power socket, then added a tank bag and a top box for luggage, and a set of Acerbis handguards. Want to get the Moskow Moto soft luggage setup in the spring.

Hi Andrew, I've watched a number of your videos and appreciate them. I was amused at a couple of things in your review of the Honda CRF300L Rally. You referred to "older guys at 60". I was one of the first in the west to be lucky enough to get one of the plain CRF300L's and I am 71. I had dirt bikes around much of my life. I kept a half dozen around when my son was growing up (I had a little moto cross track in my yard. My yard is 20 acres). I lost my wife to cancer 14 years ago and my son moved off to college the next. I got rid of all the dirt bikes and got a Harley Softail Heritage Classic. I love that bike but started missing the dirt a couple of years ago. When I was looking for what would be best for me I came up with the Honda CRF250L. Of course that was when they changed to the CRF300L and I wanted new. I did a lot of thinking about the rally vs the L. and feel I have my Harley for t he longer road trips and live in the mountains of the northeastern tip of California so I wanted something for the dirt, trails, single track, camping in the mountains etc. After watching reviews such as yours, please like Itchy Boots, etc I feel I did pick the best for me. I feel the CRF300L has all the power I need. Regarding the suspension, I weigh about 150 and feel the stock suspension is find for me (and I do ride on some challenging terrain). I do think I picked a perfect bike for me to do most anything I want in the mountains and I can legally ride it on the road to trails when needed. I really love my CRF300L. Thanks again for your youtube videos

Waiting on my 300 Rally now!! Thanks for the vid. Very excited

[@mikefreeriderAsia]

Just completed a 32 day 7,500K trip in Thailand with a friend on a CRF250L and he borrowed my CRF300 Rally. Some off road, less travelled roads and a blast on these bikes. I also have a NC750X DCT with only 264,000 Kilometres but I'm loving the CRF more and more. Great Video. I recently travelled to Laos as well on my CRF250L Solo , I think my videos on my channel show exactly why this bike is so practical.

[@mtnduck3674]

Great job laying out your mods, why you did them, and how they work in conjunction with each other. It's rare to get a full explanation like that. The doors to the dealer are beckoning me!

[@user-xb4nn6ql5l]

watched to the and, never mind to the "heart" speech. but seriously -- love your work. I'm an older rider on the other side of the Atlantic who only started riding in second lockdown as a way of staying sane. It was exercise... I started watching you regularly when you got your 300l even though what i really wanted was a Rally. Super glad you got a Rally now. I really appreciate this review and just wanted to say LYW. (love your work)
