Thanks you for your comments! I do my best to keep up with them for the first few days after a video comes out, but due to the volume of comments on all of my videos, and to the general hustle and bustle of life, I must give up the fight after a while. If you are leaving a question four or more days after a video comes out I can't guarantee I'll see it, but perhaps one of my other viewers knows the answer and can help out. Thanks in advance to those who contribute and share their knowledge. Cheers and stay safe everyone!

If Honda built a CRF450L & Rally, with 40bhp & the same maintenance intervals & sensible pricing, like the 300s, they would clean up.

[@IRQ1Conflict]

They already have that with the XR650L. Why they haven't updated it and slapped a rally style windscreen on it is anyone's guess.

[@mrsilbo6499]

@@IRQ1Conflict Sadly, we've not had any XRs (or DRs) in Europe for over a decade, hence my comment!

[@someguy5035]

No they wouldn't. The 450 starts at $10K. No way I am dropping $10K on a 450. Not intentionally neutering the XR650L with a tiny gas tank is the answer.

[@mrsilbo6499]

@@someguy5035 Sorry, I don't think you understood my point. We all know about the crazily priced current CRF450 that needs an oil change every half an hour! I'm asking for a bigger version of the current 300s, to replace the XR range we don't get in Europe.

Great work. I think the most significant thing to get from this comparison is that "the best bike" depends on the user's necessities, uses and preferences. 👍🏻

Well said! Which one you prefer depends on how you ride it.

[@felixlechat1780]

95% people dont need a motorcycle so do your own conclusions

[@GooseDave]

A really balanced review - thanks for sharing. I have had the CRF300 Rally (there is no L anymore) since February and have put 3,500 mostly highway/urban miles on it. 75mph all day is comfortable and returns a consistent 83.2mpg. The SRC Moto luggage system is awesome with the spare jerry can. I haven't had anything under 650cc since the early nineties and was worried about a puny 286cc. It's anything but, and requires very little maintenance. A great, fun bike, and a keeper.

[@RickGreen_McNutt]

On Honda Canada's website, they list the CRF300L and CRF300L Rally (I thought it was 300L and 300 Rally, but they have the L suffix for both.)

[@sayuas4293]

I'm thinking about getting one but I need it to be comfortable for very long road trips of months, riding every day. Do you think it's ok for that? Did you have issues with vibrations?

[@123dwd]

I think a Tenere 300 based off the MT-03 would be pretty sweet, especially if they biased it a bit more off road with extra suspension travel to go along with the lighter weight.

[@OgreMoto]

No, those 300 twins have very little low end torque and are terrible for off-road work. Make it a 300 single or just do a WR300R.

[@brandonking277]

I think the 300l rally is such an amazing adventure bike. Very capable. The T7 is as well, maybe even more, but it takes SO much skill to get what the 300 gives you more naturally.

[@felixlechat1780]

At twice price also

Ive been looking for a comparison video for the 300l and 700, this was perfect thank you!

[@thebroskiadventurevlog-phi752]

I absolutely love my 250 rally, for use here in the Philippines anyway, where average road speeds are considerably slower. Ill be returning stateside shortly and the T7 is in my sights, pretty excited. Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching...

[@tomgordon4395]

Real nice comparison!! Lots of very real points being made, all starting with your comment on how many CC's are in play. I have a KLX 250 at moment and a vintage Bonneville but looking to transition into an ADV bike. The Tenere is on my radar because of it's midsize feature thus your comments were key to me. Thanks!!

[@Chase_N]

DSTV- Real adventure motorcycles have 21" front wheels, 18" in the back. Me- Has a Dyna Fat Bob with 16" wheels front & back that spends more time on gravel & off road than most people with adventure bikes.

Fantastic and honest comparison video of two of the most popular bikes out there. Many thanks. On the Rally, did you have to shorten the kickstand after having it lowered? Thanks again.

[@DifferentSpokesTV]

Thanks! I didn’t modify the kickstand because I found it to be way too short to begin with. Now it’s slightly long but usable.

[@ronny-drz]

Great video again - your bad influence made me order a T7, LOL. Went for black, found an Ontario dealer with a few on order who was not price gouging & ordered it (now sold out) - so look forward to adding this one to my DRZ400 & TW200! No room or cash for a Honda Rally - looks like a great machine. Safe riding to you & your wife! Cheers, Ronny.

[@DifferentSpokesTV]

Congrats on your T7. On the road you’ll find it puts your DRZ to shame. It’s a fun bike.

[@averagejoe2895]

You don't need a 300L when you already own a DRZ

[@GT4viper]

That side x side trail video really highlights the differences well.

[@VermontMan]

The biggest takeaway here, is the benefit of less weight.

[@walkerskii]

May I ask what two motorcycles you & Brooke were riding before you bought the 300 & the 700? I'm guessing she must be 5' 10" or taller, to be comfortable on the 300, even after you lowered it?

[@tweetdezweet]

I bought the Rally, simply for the weight since I had zero offroad experience. Ordered Wilbers suspension today and even with that added cost it still makes sense to me. But ofc that is because it's the only lightweight dual sport available in Europe. Already did some proper offroading, following a friend with tons of experience in Enduro and motocross. Ofc I couldn't keep with his pace but I did manage to follow the trail he was creating without major issues. No way, as a novice, I would have pulled off that on a heavier bike :)

[@Aengen]

I agree with much of which you talked about in this video! My first bike was a sv650 and after that I've owned a lot of different road bikes, until I started driving for the Swedish Armed Forces on our Husqvarna MC258 (two stroke with automatic centrifugal clutch). After a couple of years with offroad riding in the military I sold my road bike to buy my own better suited offroad bike, and that was the CRF300 Rally. It was a really great bike after changing suspension and adding a real bashplate. But, it was only great in the woods. On road(gravel and tarmac) it was lacking, and rightfully so. It is a 286cc single after all. So after 1120km I sold it... and this weekend I am picking up a used Tenere 700 from 2019 with only 1500km on the odometer. I am quite sure that this is the bike I should have bought in the first place... but you live and you learn! Anyways, thank you for many hours of entertainment. I wish you all the best.

[@mikeisland7382]

If only Honda had made the Rally a 500cc and kept the weight under 300lbs fueled with performance suspension priced the same as the T7 they would own the Dualsport/adventure market for years to come. Great video that shows why lighter is better.

[@gregorbabic7664]

Always thought the T700 would be the perfect bike to have. And maybe it is if you only have room for one bike in your life. But honestly, the best is having a road oriented larger displacement ADV for most road rides, touring and two up riding while having a light dual sport for the single track and back roads riding. (Also a great commuter). The Yamaha is so overpriced in Canada because demand for it is so high. You can spend less on 2 slightly used bikes that are better suited to on road and off-road duties. But that’s just the approach I took and it works for me.

[@DifferentSpokesTV]

Nice! Why have one when you can have two?

[@SolomonsMartialArts]

The whole point of dualsport is to have a bike you can ride and enjoy on the road and ride and enjoy off road. For me the klr650

[@nickg2431]

plus a full enduro bike to go really fast on!

[@stefanjepp6612]

Lucky you are, t go offroad legally in your country. In Germany it is not allowed to go offroad. In Baden Würtemberg it is even forbidden to go on a single track with a bicycle! So I own an electric mountainbike to go forest roads legally and I also own a Honda VFR 1200 F for streetriding. On the motorway we are allowed to go as fast as we can: 22o km/h is my maximum, although my Honda woul go 250km/h. In fact a Tenere 700 would be a good choise as well. But what about the Africa Twin ? This bike is very popular in Germany!

[@neptunetriton]

The 701 Enduro blends the best features of both of these bikes. A properly outfitted (skid plate, barkbusters, pannier rack,etc) Long Range model with its 6.5 gallon capacity and 330 mile range, weighs only 383lbs WET and produces 70hp. Light enough to toss on a hitch carrier, powerful enough to cruise all day on the highway, and more competent in the dirt than either the Honda or the Yamaha.

[@EdgyNumber1]

I want a lightweight ADV bike for highway AND offroad, with good torque. But a heavy 600cc+ bike makes NO sense whatsoever. What happens if I drop it during a long 6-8 hour ride. I'd be too fatigued to pick it up or the machine could get bogged down? I'm not looking for all out top speed. I need lightweight with good torque. Honda CRF300 Rally looks like a good fit.

[@Propelled]

Another to throw in the mix: The new KLX 300. Better suspension than the Honda. Incredible maintenance intervals. I bought a KLX250 (didn’t know the 300 was coning out) and sent the suspension to Noleen for tuning and to drop it 2” front and rear. Very affordable. Because it’s tuned to my weight and riding style, I don’t notice the ground clearance issues at all. It is no less than perfect now. All I need is a larger tank. I do love my KLX.

I am totally on the fence on which to buy. I had a KLR 650 than a GS 1200 and recently going around town on my neighbors vespa scooter. I realized that the smaller vespa is more fun which made me want to buy a 300 Rally. I am also a bigger guy at 6'2 so ....

Thesnatchy T7 throttle is not chain. It is the same problem (to a slightly lesser extent) as the MT07. The fuelling is quite poor. Reflash the ecu properly and the snatchiness disappears.

[@arnoldis24]

I take my Africa Twin Adventure Sports on single track and it is a hell of a workout. I was surprised, actually.

[@ericwilliams626]

The T7 top heaviness can be resolved with a simple idea; learn the bike and develop your skill based on that bike. The road capability is necessary for most who must ride to a location to get to dirt and the 300 Rally just can't ride nearly as confident on the road with the wind and blow back from trucks and natural gusts. I wanted both, the 300 was not available and the T7 was so I scooped it up and I've had to learn the bigness of the bike but over time it feels smaller and I feel like a ninja on it now. Again its always about skill.

[@erikmarkus1544]

[@Wabbit1961]

Two different classes. Nice info on both. I'd choose a KLR over the T7. I'd choose a Hymalayan over the T7 as well. I've ridden all of them. This is a bit dated. The Honda is now CRF350. Price wise this bike is a champ. Kawasaki has a KLX 300 is on point with the price. Both are a blast to ride but the KLX 300 can be bought in super moto or 300sm. The tires are also tubeless. I'd tend to lean towards the Kawasaki in either model.

Koja usporedba Yamaha dva cilindra 700 kubika, Honda jedan cilindar 300 kubika nešto neusporedivo ???

[@oknevals]

T700 was bust for me after demo ride. CRF300 is something I could pick up in the future without much thinking.

Great vid :)

[@ttrguy9952]

Awesome Video!!! I just bought a Royal Enfield Himalayan which is in the middle of these 2 bikes. Well, almost! I plan on doing some BDR routes here in the US and the Himalayan will be perfect for me. Capable yet cheap enough to not care if I trash the bike. My regular ADV bikes are my new Triumph Tiger 1200 XCX and my new Harley Davidson Pan America S. The Triumph is superior for more highway dirt roady stuff, the Harley is better for dirt roady desert stuff and the Enfield is better to beat the crap out of on serious crap roads and yucky stuff. Great video Sir!! 🙌👏👌✌🖖🤙👍👋🙂

[@slakk5093]

Himalayan's are nice bikes. You should watch the everide review. He rated it highly

[@DifferentSpokesTV]

The Himalayan will beat them both on the BDR :)

Since you have taken over the 300 for your dirt bike & are only using the 700 as your street cruiser, cuz of its weight & top heavy weight distribution, I suggest getting your wife a Yamaha tt200 or XT250, both have very low seat height & plenty of power for even the largest woman.

[@jtaylorb88]

Plus being only 140 pounds and picking up that Yamaha is not the easiest for me but I would use it more as a tourer especially with the newer dual tank rally one coming out till then my MT-07 works good too.

[@glossblack1098]

Nice vid. Try a KTM 690 or Husky 701. Same hp as T700 but 50 kg lighter. Better suspension too.

[@rolandmetayer7210]

I don't ride any motorcycle,but I think that both bikes are very good. It depends on what you are looking for in a motorcycle. Cheers from Canada, snow country.

[@luiscardozo0000]

im looking for the tallest seat in adv bike... anyone know what bike i should buy ...my wife seats behind me but she is almost 6 feet tall ....so i need tall bike and big seat

[@arthurveldhoen3932]

How has the CRF moved the game on compared to a 30 year old NX250 I wonder.

[@ficklepickle2495]

Dear Honda and Yamaha, PLEASE build a bike that's 400-500cc's with maintenance intervals similar to that of the 300L. The CRF450L doesn't hit the mark because most adventure riders don't want dirt bike-level maintenance. The KTM 500 and Husky are awesome but expensive and don't have reliable and simple Japanese engines and overall reliability. One day this bike will come and will absolutely crush the dual-sport / lightweight ADV market.

[@MixedGrid]

Two wildly different bikes imo. No need to compare. Two different parts of the segment.

[@bartoszpajak2285]

Meanwhile, it is no secret that an aftermarket rear shock needs to be added to the purchase price of an CRF300 from the very first beginning. Once this is sorted out, the bike turns into a surprisingly capable trail bike. I own the 300L (not the Rally) and it took me to places I wouldn't even dare to think about when sitting on one of the big adventure bikes I owned in the past.

[@Chautauquas717]

I'm looking for something in the middle... Honda 450 Rallye at 360 lbs... Bowing away from KTM Adventure 490 as made in China. Or a Kawasaki KLX 450 Adventure style... How about a Suzuki DRZ400 ADV style?

[@SmokinZen]

Got the T7 need the 300L now

[@doneB830]

I had a 660 Tenere and now a CRF300L not rally and the 660 was only better on longer trips but I didn’t like it at all off road and I love the little Honda it’s all based on your needs.

[@NewFurCat]

I am awaiting the delivery of my Honda CRF 300 rally right now......spend my time watch videos and thinking about mods ! Ahh well, its paid for, and will come when it comes ! Im not TOO excited ! { I LEAP at the phone when it rings in anticipation of its arrival !]

[@ebiebrahimi7472]

Btw I checked the Yamaha Vancouver they have a waiting list 40 persons ahead of me for Tenere because of shortage of chipsets

[@robertgrant8883]

LOL, yesterday I thought about trading/selling my Triumph Scrambler 900 and mused about the T700 vs the CRF300L. Today, KZbin presents this video in my feed. Damn, I'm predictable.. Thanks @Different Spokes TV for creating the content YT wants me to see!

[@ronnie.b6376]

Ur view on ktm 390 adv

[@theshyguitarist]

Personally, I’d like a mini bike with a 200 hp single piston with pro off road race suspension, 26” of travel, 146mpg a 15 gallon tank and built in water desalination plant. Oh and a 32 “ stand over height. Ayeeeee....and 275 lb wet weight. Doesn’t mean it’s gonna happen.

[@corpsefather7914]

Ha! Same bike combo as me and my girl, except she got the L , I’ve ridden both and prefer my Tenere, the 300 could use better suspension ( adjustable ) but otherwise it’s great. And it’s hard to compare the power difference because it has situational limitations , I am not even tempted to aim at a single track on the Tenere, mostly because I don’t want to drop it and have to pick it up.

[@slakk5093]

I am looking at these two for Australian conditions. I have to take in to consideration the long stretches of highway - T7 wins that, and also the fact that I'm exploring remote ruff trails solo - Rally wins that. I'm leaning more to the Rally with YSS suspension upgrade for now. I know I will be more likely to explore a hard looking track on the Rally vs on the Tenere (keeping in mind that I will often be by myself)

[@darylclifford]

A Sydney Aussie here! Which part of Oz are you in, as there’s no remote trails near north west Sydney unless I’m mistaken?

[@darylclifford]

@@slakk5093 Nice! Wish you safe enjoyable rides on the multiple conditions you have access to. This channel's better than most locals. Ride safe matey 🦘👍🇦🇺

[@DifferentSpokesTV]

Just spent three hours on the Rally on a scenic highway going 100kph. It did fine, not as well as the T7 but I can’t complain.

[@slakk5093]

@@DifferentSpokesTV yeah I think the 300 Rally is better for me. From what ive heard it is more manageable in the sand (and there's a lot of sand around here 😬)

Wish I had bought an sv650 in 1999 unfaired version. I think it was £4795 in the UK
