I have a klx300. You're welcome to borrow it for comparison. It's my dual sport until ktm releases a 390 enduro that's under 300lbs. Or suzuki releases an updated f.i. DRZ.

Former 250L owner. All his statements are true in my experience. The weight is front heavy and the suspension is incredibly soft, the pogo statement is worse than he claims but doesn’t show up unless you push the pace or it’s really rough. I’ve taken mine on some nasty sandy single track and made it through mostly unscathed. Highly recommend for any beginner to dirt

It’s awesome to see your opinions and thoughts on my first motorcycle! The brake line was in the way for me when I first started but after a month or two I got used to it and it doesn’t bother me anymore. The most fun part for me is being able to hit some dirt trails on the way to the college! I can’t wait to see more on this :)

[@27Zangle]

There are ways to reroute or move it out of the way safely. There is also a wrong way to do that as well. The CRF300L is high on my list for this summer and have done tons of research on the 250L (started looking at them in 2019) and now the 300L. Tons of useful videos out there.

[@Dudeitzmimi]

I started on a cbr500r then traded that for a triumph tiger 800 and last year also bought a crf300l. Out of all of them, the 300 has been the most fun to ride and the 500 was a ton of fun. Its fun to rip on the triumph and hear that 3 cylinder purr, but it gets boring sometimes.

[@TimStJohn-xp8rv]

I went from not riding in 17yrs to this two months later sold it and driving down to Austin to pick up a 2022 RS 660 limited edition! This bike brought back my love for riding again!

Even the 300 rally is easy to manage. As a new rider, I taught myself in my back yard.

[@joeycourtice4157]

I think this bike would potentially be a great option for an ultra light adv bike for doing long miles on dirt roads and tough trails, and with a skilled rider, it could go some crazy places off-road.

[@open_water2411]

I don’t think the CRF is a newbie bike it’s just a bike built for a specific purpose. The 250L was more than capable and this is an improvement. Regarding speed bumps, that bike made me accelerate towards them and aim for potholes. It really is a fun machine.

[@marcochavane3124]

Only pipe for the CRF300 is a Yoshimura full system. Go get it! Love this bike❤️. After changing the rear suspension 👌🏾

[@High_Desert_Tanner]

You can move the brake hose by loosening the banjo bolt on the master a little and rotating it slightly forward or back to change the angle it points at so it'll end up out of your line of sight a little better. If you loosen it too much you might end up needing to bleed the front brakes, but it's super easy on that bike.

[@krisgreenwood5173]

That brake line needs re-engineered and moved.

My brother works at a bike shop and has been riding his whole life and saved me almost a grand otd with his discount. I'll be taking a brc this spring. Can't wait to ride this summer!

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

I would so dig this as a first off road bike who can bop around on the streets too.

[@jasonmckimmey250]

When I was deciding on a dual sport it was between this, the WR250 and the KLX300. I ultimately picked the KLX 300 based on the better suspension seat height, and price. The WR was just too tall for me (5'9" 32" inseam) and was considerably more expensive than the KLX or the CRF. The CRF had a nice seat height but that suspension was a deal breaker. Honda should have spent the gas gauge/gear indicator/ABS money on better suspension instead.

[@chriskennedy3018]

Absolutely why I picked the klx too

[@KingFriday274]

I bought a klx300 last year. I've been waiting for my crf300l but last weekend a wr250r popped up on craigslist. It's a 2015 with 440 original miles. So I bought it. So far it's much better than my klx. Feels faster, too. I'm 6'2" so the taller seat height is a plus for me. Think I'll cancel the order for the crf. Dont need 3 dual sports, do I?

[@chriskennedy3018]

@@KingFriday274 any mods done to the wr? It is probably the faster of the two stock, but I think with modifications the klx can put more torque and power. I can’t see any concrete info for sure though. The wr is a bad ass bike, I really wanted one but ended up on a klx 300 because wr prices are ridiculous. Compared to the Honda 250l I had previously, the klx is an absolute beast.

[@shimagaijin1]

I got a 2017 CRF250L & had to get rid of the Showa suspension (front & rear) - put Ohlins & soooo much better. Why Honda only went with one front spring in the forks is a mistake imo. I do some enduro stuff with it, but it is noooo comparison to my KTM450EXC-R. That is my fav for enduro. The Honda I use for work commute & use it off-road when I am too lazy to load my KTM (stripped down & not played).

[@BruceHoult]

KLX stock suspension is better, of course. YammieNoob says he'd rather have the CRF300L be $6500 and come with good suspension instead of $5100. I disagree. The stock suspension is fine for many people forever and if it was $6500 they wouldn't have that option. You can upgrade to the pretty damn good suspension of your choice for $1400 aftermarket. I upgraded the stock shock on my 250 Rally with a stronger spring for a 130 kg rider (285 in 'murican), a 2nd RaceTech spring in the forks, and upgraded valving all round for US$950 including labour from MotoSR in Taupo NZ. Night&day. Now you can hit whoops at speed without the tail kicking, jump off ledges without bottoming etc. I also only paid US$4200 registered and taxed and on the road for my 2019 250 Rally brand new in mid 2020 (last one the shop had), so it *still* with upgraded suspension only owes me $5150 (plus the two sets of tyres I've been through in 8500 km).

I just bought a slightly used 2021 CRF 300L and love the little motorcycle. The suspension is not as bad as everyone says. Yes, it is soft but very pleasant. I weigh 269 pounds and the suspension supports me fine for highway and smooth grass trails. It may bottom out on bumps but who cares. I am not planning jumps at 68 years old lol. The gearing is taller than my Kawasaki x300 Versys. I plan to lower the CRF this week because my inseam is a mere 29" and I cannot flat foot this bike. I had the same issue with my Kawasaki until I lowered it. Soupy's makes great lowering links for both these motorcycles. I have owned the largest BMW adventure and cruiser bikes, Harley Sportster and Honda Goldwing and these little adventure bikes are far nicer to own and ride. Both bikes are more than capable and more fun than a barrel of monkeys!!

I have a few videos of my camo 2022 klx 300 on my channel. Its a great do it all bike for the price. The suspension is more adjustable and higher performing than the honda. The engine is slightly bigger as well. Over all they are pretty close. Random offroad trails to running errands around town it always puts a smile on my face. I usually get a few compliments on how cool the bike looks.

I've rode dirtbikes here and there, but never actually took my time and really got a feel for any bike.

Watching this ride I see it now. I had a 250L Rally and never could understand why guys complained about that brake line blocking the dash. The rally however had a windshield preventing the line from being blown back obstructing the view to the dash. This ride you can see that line affected by wind so now I finally understand why guys didn't like it...

The Rally has the dash in a completely different, much higher, place. It doesn't get obstructed.

[@hiltonmcconnell2563]

It is a great bike, but for some one starting out I think the KTM 300 Adventure would be a better pick, unless you wanted to do a lot of gnarly trails then the CRF300L but the KTM 300 Adventure is a lot nice on the road has a much bigger gas tank, and better seat. It is a bike that you do have to ring its neck to get the best out of it but that is good for some learning to ride Keeping the revs down and great for learning and once you get some riding time under your belt you can ring its neck and feel the get up and go. I use mine on dirt and gravel roads and some easy trails, did put Dunlop TrailMax Mission tires on it, I also put GIVI 33/46 liter hard bags that slip on and off so go with or with out, so it also makes a great light weight ADV bike and 400+ Km per tank of gas. I am adding a CRF300L to my stable but setting it up for 90 % off road and 10% on road the only road it will see is getting to and from the trails. It is always great to have 3 in the stable, my other ride is a DR650 width a 20 liter gas tank use for the really bad dirt roads, tractor trails, and also on the road it has the Dunlop TrailMax Mission tires on it. The CRF300L will have Dunlop 606 rear and Pirelli M21 front. Great video thank you,

Yup that’s why I like my 2022 XT250. If I drop it out in the boonies I just pick it up, throw it over my shoulder and walk out. That break line makes me laugh, seems like a major oversight.

@@Gofr5 I used to ride motocross and light weight was essential to confidence, performance and fun off road . We’re not all Poll Torres, able to throw around 200kg (440lb) bikes in the dirt 😂

@@yammienoob I understand . For some reason “beginner bike” just grates every time I hear it. I think it’s the machismo us males are meant to feel about our ride .

@@nickclarkuk Well yeah, that's why I specified the hard offroading caveat.

I want this _BOIKE!!!_ 😲

Ok they just need to make a 325cc with slightly taller gears and actual suspension. Heavier guys in a headwind won’t have fun on the freeway with this. Needs just a smidge more to be a true all rounder imo

Who cares about the speed as long as your on 2 wheels and having fun

I honestly wish it was slower I don’t want a dirtbike like this with ridiculous service intervals.. an xr650L only needs soo much more power and so much less weight
