Yammie Noob, what's the maximum speed? I read different numbers on this topic, going from 70 to 85 mph, it's confusing. I want to be able to do some highway driving on it. Thanks
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
My favorite part about watching your videos since I moved to Austin is recognizing the exact spots like your intro and that little dirt trail I found the other day!
It's the motorcycle that the great 'Itchy Boots' is using as she travels around Central America. Worth watching, and you can ask her about the Honda CRF300.
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.
Imagine the 390 duke engine inside a EXC-F frame
The klx300 is a really good bike only reason I didn't pick one up is they had a wr250r on the showroom.
Well you're lucky! 390 enduro is on it's way and will be released soon. I saw this today itself and it looked close to production
@@nishadapte3571 where?
@@aakashk530 Yeah I don't get why ktm isn't building that bike. A 390 enduro and supermoto would sell like crazy.
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!
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.
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 :)
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.
I'm planning on the the 300l being my first bike also
Nice to see you riding the 300L! I have been making content on this bike since last year. It's great to see other bigger CZcamsrs enjoying the bike as well. Someone is going to be really lucky to get it in the giveaway.
I was looking at this bike for a second bike and I am thoroughly convinced this is the one. It looks like too much fun.
Even the 300 rally is easy to manage. As a new rider, I taught myself in my back yard.
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.
Great review thanks. Just bought 40 acres here in Australia and was looking at one of these for the farm but also something I can ride to work as well. Actually going to put a deposit on one today but I think it's about 6-8 month wait.
I put my deposit on mine as soon as it was announced this bike was coming out. Was a long 9 month wait to get it but so worth it, its a forever bike.
I have the 300 Rally and it's my 10th bike. Yes I'm an old guy. I put over 100 miles on mine today highway, and Oregon dirt roads. I love it. I put a windshield extention on it and can enjoy lifting my face shield at highway speed. Oh that brake hose isn't in the way of the display 😁
Bought one after this review. I absolutely love it! It’s a dream to ride and surprisingly highway capable too. Definitely recommend
I am considering this bike to but afraid is gonna be to weak for cruising át 60nph, would you mind telling me your weight?
I'm about 6,5 and 220lbs ( 197cm 101kg)
@@tamasbakai2026 I’m 5’10 200. You should be fine but maybe take it for a test ride if you can
Pappa yamm. You are one of the most hard working CZcamsrs I watch. You have a new video every day. You are like Shaq
I have 33k+ on my cbr300r that I converted to a trail bike. I’ve only changed the oil and made repairs. Never checked the valves. It’s just starting to use oil. I just bought that crf300l 2022 and am going to maintain it to the t. Love the thing
@yammienoob I bought this as my first bike a few weeks ago. Only rode 1 other bike in my life. A buddies 110 when I was younger. So I'm a complete beginner. 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!
I wanna see how easy it does big wheelies! I think that deserves a entire video dedicated to the crf300l wheelie ;)
Only pipe for the CRF300 is a Yoshimura full system. Go get it! Love this bike❤️. After changing the rear suspension 👌🏾
I've had a WR250R, WR450F, YZ450F, and DRZ400E
The smaller WR250R was honestly the most fun bike I've ever had. You can really throw them around on the trails.
I started on a 250L and loved it. I'm on an Africa twin now but plan on adding a 300L to the collection soon
I think I saw you today on the motorcycle trail off of city park, I passed you on a street triple. Love the videos keep it up!
I've had my 300l for 2 weeks now I do 3 hr road trips I burn down the logging roads I'm loving it
Awesome review homie! I’m putting this in my sprinter van to tour the country.
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.
That brake line needs re-engineered and moved.
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.
Such beautiful views you have there, I could ride everyday just because it’s so cool outside
Man I have fun watching your review...very entertaining 🤣👏🎉
Got the CRF250L….Good little bike and many have crossed the world on them. Not a GS but then there is something to be said for small. It’s a Honda. nuff said there.
Your awesome Yam!
I am giggling like a 18 year old with the news of this legend coming to our shores in India. I am so so so excited man, Itchy boots fan here ..
Is it sure bro? The rumours? 300l coming to india?
I really like to have a begginer bike or scooter i dont have experience but now watching your video make me realise that i want to ride a bike. i want to join your sweepstakes also but im not from the US.
Thanks for the videos!
Yammie : Best beginner bike is CEF300L
One week later…
Yammie: Why not to get a 300cc
EXACTLY. When so much content is listicles and formed from absolutist positions, it never takes long for one video to contradict another.
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 sold my GS and bought a 450, then I bought. CRF250M and that bike is the most fun Ive ever had.
My 500R was amazing and nothing you say will ever make me change my mind.
Yup having a lot of fun on my beautiful 2017 cbr500r. No regrets at all
I would so dig this as a first off road bike who can bop around on the streets too.
Good beginner bike for long legged folks, 32"+ inseam. I have 30" inseam and have a 300Rally with RaceTech suspension and it is TALL, good thing it is light.
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 am definitely into speed, but am still interested in this bike. After years of not riding and never riding much to begin with. I think its the best solution to get back into riding.
I've been holding back from getting this bike for months. I think after watching this today, I'm just going to get it. Screw it. Haha, I'm a beginner. I've rode dirtbikes here and there, but never actually took my time and really got a feel for any bike. I feel like this would be perfect. especially with where I live tons of dirt roads, so I feel like this would suit me well just to get on and cruise around.
Grab some warp 9 wheels with sumo tires if you are a road only rider! the erginomics of the bike allow for greater lean angle than even race bikes.
I just bought a 93' XR250 to go with my 78' XL250, I love it.
You can absolutely rev the piss out of this thing. Trek Ethos did 1000 miles in one day on the Rally version basically redlining in top gear with no issues, still getting 50mpg.
There is a girl I am watching who is doing the entire America's from the tip of South America to Alaska on one of these.
@@joshuasterling2144 ItchyBoots? Haha I'm familiar. Been watching her since the Basanti days.
trek ethos filled up like 11 times, I saw that vid, crazy. I wonder how sore he was?
You could check out CZcamsr “itchy boots” who is driving from Ecuador 🇪🇨 to Alaska on a stock CRF300L Rally. This girl is putting it to the test!
I'd love to see a comparison between the KLX300SM and the Svartpilen 401. Those are the top two on my list. They have a similar price and seem pretty comparible.
All the dealer ships in my area have a waiting list for these. I really want one.
I intend to move to Barcelona within the next year I’m buying one of these when I move 100%
I work with a pilot who used to run desert races and hare and hounds in the 60s to the 80s and still rides. He's looking to get one of these, so it's not only for beginners.
Beginner friendly.
Gearing sounds like it's a perfect-ish trail/exploration bike.
think I'm gonna get one... I'm a panzy on new trails lol
I have a CB300R which has the same motor which I think is actually pretty feisty regardless of the HP and torque numbers.
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.
Absolutely why I picked the klx too
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?
@@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.
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).
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).
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.
I think this is the most Yam’s liked a Honda in a while lol
We need to see a video of your Husqvarna FE501 that’s the dual sport I’m interested in
Just bought a 2023 today. Should take delivery Tuesday or Wednesday. Super stoked for my first bike.
The best motorcycle youtuber ever ❤️
@yammie Noob. You said your WR250 feels more peppy? I was wondering how if the honda has better low end power due to its longer stroke. Remember its the same bore as the 250L it just achieved the extra cc's due to stoking the engine. I cant see the Yahaha feeling more grunty or quicker down low in theory at least. Btw great video
You guys should really check our the BMW g310 gs. It's a good 65(on-road) 35(offroad), not exactly a dual sport more of a super light adv. I just did 500 miles in 2 days on one. Would love to see your guys take.
Itchy boots covered a lot of klm through many country’s and the engine never broke down she did do the clutch plates once but the mud was exceptionally bad
one day youll do a review on the honda navi, its my 18th birthday and everything
Man I looked all over for this bike and the klx300 I’m a noob btw and nobody had them I ended up with the klx230 it’s a good little bike for buzzing around town and mild trails but man this would of been nice I bet.
I've got a Honda XR650L as my first bike at its perfect in my opinion the CRF 300s are very nice but way to small for what I needed it for.
There is a channel called Itchy Boots and she is doing a trip on one of these from the southern tip of South America all the way to Alaska.
My steering wheel was always in the way in my 2012 honda accord l9l same for my mom, dad, brother, gf, and best friend all different heights
I love my 300L Rally!
Could you do a comparison of this to the WR
Noraly (Itchy Boots) is on her way from south America to Alaska on a crf 300l rally
Just for you to know rally raid products are planning to make a suspension work for this bike. If you know their work on the cb500x and the g310gs you could be interested
Do you have a video on what gear to get as a noob?
Never in my life have I seriously wished I had more money, I get by and live comfortably but riding motorcycles has made me want to make more money just so I can buy all sorts of different bikes. This shit is financially crippling and I wouldn't have it any other way.
When are you gonna actually review the himalayan instead of that spec sheet breakdown you did?
Giveaway bike selling feature: The gas tank crushed Yammie’s Boi’s
It actually has 43 mm front forks. 👍
Here in Thailand the bike costs 4,500 Dollars and the KLX 7,600 Dollars. That's a lot of bucks left over to buy suspension, etc and still have plenty of cash left!!!!!
I've just bought the CRF300L........
Yam, what’s with the tube that arcs over the instrument panel? Is that solely for the suspension travel? If so, isn’t there a cosmetically better way to do that?
The klx 300 has the same amount of travel and its brake hose is no where near as high. Not sure why honda made it so tall.
Its a Honda... I would reave my little super cub to max all the time... Miss that bike a lot
The reason I don’t buy the Honda over the XT250 was the seat height. The Honda was more attractive with its features but as an older rider at 5’7” it’s to tall for me. If you’re not going to much highway riding I think the Yamaha is a better beginning bike my riding experience is 45 years.
Do you recommend getting a fuel injection controller for the 300L or is it just a bad idea?
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. My XT has the bunch of break line along the fork. I guess it could get caught up on a bush but I’d rather have it down there then up in my face.
second time requesting some warp 9s to go with it :)
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,
If you want a bigger tank, get a 300 rally. If you want to get stuck in the middle of nowhere, get a ktm
It is a shame Honda can't put a spring and damper cartridge in each fork leg like Kawasaki does on their 300 dual sport. The Honda fork legs keep putting a bending force on the front axle due to one leg being sprung and the other being damped.
Thinking about getting a Honda Xr
put $1000 into the suspension add some bark busters a skid plate and some decent tires and you have the best dual sport available imo

@@keithquinn5624 You're right. 27 hp and 18 lb-ft are enough to win GNCC and harescramble races. Oh wait...
@@keithquinn5624 Enjoy your weak ass 27 hp and inexistent torque. I know who gets smoked by a 20 year old bike 😂.
What was the reason for saying to avoid the cbr500? I've never ridden 8ne but I was under the impression that it was a super cheap and mellow little bike that just happened to look more sporty than it is.
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
10 days till I pick up mine...! 👍👍👍
Just got my second, guess i want my third lol
I want this as my first bike
This looks great to convert to Crf 300L motard.
I'm deciding between this or the klx300sm for my first bike... finding one is the difficult part.
I got the klx300sm, great bike but if I didn't like going to the small track near me I'd have went with the dirt setup. really just boils down to where you want to ride.
I think its too good or they have barely made any of them because i cant find them ANYWHERE
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
Please compare the KLX 300 to this!!
If I didn't hate bright red everything I might consider buying one.
I’m very interested in getting a CRF300l! I plan on driving it mainly on the street and occasionally take it on a very light trail! Would this be the right bike fire me? Would be my first bike by the way
It is great for that if you have longer legs...32"+ inseam.
