I can see you riding around the world Harvey. You have the passion 👍
I can too, lets see how Africa goes :)
Just the mods I was wondering about. Very well explained!
Great setup! Light and agile... The dream just started! Good luck!
Very well put! Thank you
Lovely - im considering this bike aswell for next year. Keep the vids coming and i'll be watching!
TheScatman89 I have one and prefer it over my MT09 Tracer. For local ish' ridding.
excellent tips for motorcycle panniers. i just looked up the prices and theyre decent, its doable. im prepping for my own african adventure !! slowly taking shape. thank you!!
Really helpful I'm going to get those exact mods, thanks
I find the stock horns on bikes aren't loud enough and replaced mine with extra loud ones for touring and have helped enormously. The bike look right for the job.
Good luck Harvey, all the best.
I like that Kriega setup with the saddlebag base. Will be interesting to see how it holds up in the long term.
Love it, dude! Can't wait to hear more details on how it goes. Best of luck! Safe riding :)
Thanks Jack!
Bikes looking fit and ready for the adventure Harvey. Have a great time and above all else stay safe buddy.
Thanks Adey!
Fair play to ya fella. Enjoy the trip
nice upgrades, nice vid, thx for sharing and all the best from Thailand

Cheers Stuart!
No news from you road trip Harvey hope you are ok my friend.
Happy New year btw

good luck mate..keep informing us about your journey
Will do cheers!
Bike looks well up to the job bud. Good luck with you're adventure Harvey, thanks for sharing
Thanks Peter!
well done, will follow along and God keep you on your travel Harvey!
Thank you
Good videos, keep it up 👍
Like most the side soft bags, kriega. Wow, seem is best alternative for panniers..
Good luck fella
Good luck mate
Nice video, thumbs up!
I do own the same bike, 2017 model, and I would recommend some other mods:
First of all, take off this annoying belt across the seat! It is absolutely useless but makes the seat very uncomfortable.
Second, the CRF needs some frame protectors which are available in China for very little money!
Third, I prefer the Moose Racing skidplate which protects frame and water pump as well. It is sturdy and light as well.
Other mods I've made are a SW Motech luggage rack which works as a grip as well, foldable levers and mirrors and a RFX gear lever that protects the generator cover from being destroyed by the massive OEM part.
Great content! 👍
A good mod for anyone who has a CRF250L is to remove the strap across the seat. I found it makes the seat more comfortable as it's right in the position where you sit. Apparently it's only there to give a pillion somewhere to hold on to as it's necessary by law if you have rear foot pegs.
Bike mods look good, have a fantastic adventure.
Thank you Dayoo!
HI HARVEY,FOLLOWED YOUR TRIP,GREAT JOURNEY.HOW HAS LIFE TREATED YOU SINCE YOUR RETURN.REGARDS PETER
Good luck Harvey - Take Care :)
Good luck mate leaving the cold weather behind lol. Enjoy be good to see how the little Honda does. Great I bet
Thanks Niel, lovely 19*c here in south Spain today! Bikes going great new rear tyre needed after 4k
Good luck Harvey
Any reason why you didn't go with the CRF Rally version?
any riding footage coming? 😍
Great work Harvey and great work on the bike - the trusty CRF is quickly becoming the long distance adventure riders steed of choice! Out of interest are you still running the stock tyres? I've found them to be utterly rubbish off-road and a set of aftermarket tyres (I use Michelin T63s) has transformed my machine....might be something to consider before you hit the tricky off-road stuff that awaits....keep the videos coming! All the best....TMF
Thank you TMF!
The CRF certainly is, I'm currently running the stock Bridgestone TW302 tyres which are on their way out after nearly 4k miles.
The t63 seems like a great suggestion for offroad riding, the dilemma comes with trying to find a good tyre on and off road and still maintain a good mileage, I'm looking into a set of Michelin Sirac's or Continental TKC70 as most of the offroad riding will be hard pack trail, videos to come :)
I'm sure the Michelins or Conti's will be fine - I can say the T63's have been great on-road too, far out lasted the OEM tyres and I mainly ride on the road on mine....enjoy!
Great job! Did you use stock clutch? How did it behave? I read that clutch is weak part of this bike. I'm going to an adventure on such bike and don't know what to do with the clutch.. install havy duty clutch or leave stock..
Wish u good luck on ur trip mate.
The King on the Road is doing a around the world trip on a CRF250 like urs n i think his the same age as u
Thanks Zak, we've been talking quite a bit recently
Two prize nutters :0)
CHAIN OILER ... take care your chain mate, thats one of the parts the CRF needs a lot, having 50k km and my 3rd set already and i am not doing much offroad.
If not a chain oiler every day a couple of drops oil should do it too
Did u change the rear suspension?
About the only thing I can see you have missed is to check your tank seal quality :)
Did you buy the bike new? and if so, why, and not go second hand. Also, how is the bike doing for reliabiltiy.
Great bike and set up. But the standard seat is terrible, you have to consider doing something with.
Harvey your a natural presenter well keep watching you ride and keep yourself safe steve and nam
Thank you very much Steve and Nam!
Nice bike. That plate though... holy shit is that huge
Vids just get better young man
Hi Harvey any footage on the way down to Southern Spain. Bike looks good
Pete
Hi Peter, Sadly I haven't filmed any footage from England to Spain but filming will begin in south Spain!
Is the fuel level indicator still accurate? I'm assuming it would be off by a little bit because of the different shape of the tank.
There isn't one, this is why the tank is transparent. You can see the fuel level. 👍
@@patrickmaloney6440 FWIW, I have this bike and was too impatient to wait for a reply. I bought this tank in black, the stock fuel level float fits into this new tank. The gauge reads full until the actual level is around 60%, then the gauge works like normal and seems pretty accurate as far as empty is concerned.
*Hey everybody, question???*... I as well have a crf250l 2016, I was wondering how a bike of this size (1 cyclinder 4 stroke liquid cooled engine) can take on a 500mile trip non stop (except for gas)?. Is it possible, or would that damage the bike? Thabks in advance... ps I'm a noob in when it comes to motorcycles, I just know how to ride.
MorganPolecat thanks a lot!!! That's all the assurance i needed. Haha
Bikes looking good , enjoy Africa fella
You need to put a little wind cover over your microphone even a piece of thin tape
Long way round, Harvey style XD
The slow way down hahaha :D
Bonus points if you don’t shave for the whole trip ;)
legs count? :D
Come back looking like a yeti 😂
Looks way better without all the stickers. Just wish they would make it in something other than red.
How do you get the time of work Harvey ? ..looking forward to watching your Africa adventures .
Take care and ride safe
BOB
Hi Bob, good question I don't, I handed my notice in, the joys of being young and having few responsibilities
Many Thanks
Fair play to ya mate 👍 , living your life
I don't know why but I've been watching all your videos but I haven't subscribed, well that will now change
Thanks you Asim!
Hi bro
My hit 5" 3 crf 150l bike ride posebol
Hi! What a Bike!
I'm saving Money for buy a Motorbike and follow yours steps.
I decided to buy the honda CRF 250l and then comes you and buy one of them!! Awesome! When i saw the Video Presentation i thougth ouh yeah! A Review of my Dreams Bike!
Bye!
Awesome!
It's a very capable well built machine, nothing amazing but will get you there :)
Hi handa is true you can ride
Very interesting and well explained
Question do you have two bikes?
Or have missed a large chunk of your life on youtube?
think he sold the Mt 07 to buy this for traveling
i think he mentioned it somewhere on one of his videos or in the comments that he sold every bike he owned because they will depreciate so there was no point in keeping them until he gets back from the trip. So currently the only bike he owns is this crf
Exactly what Krystekk said :)
Two Wheel Review cool enjoy your trip :)
What gloves are those, and do you have a good feeling in them, for example for wheelies
No wheelies I've gotta keep these chain and sprockets in good nick haha they are Alpinestars SMX 2 Air I believe
Hi , are you riding solo ?
yes, solo
I think you may need a larger license plate
Please get a wind muffler for your camera.
Hi I can see you yes
Great you are following your dreams Harvey! If you have some free time and wouldn’t mind checking my channel out? I’m new to the motovlog community
we need 600 miles range zombie apocalipse bike
