Honda CRF300L 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.

Bought my Rally in June. Been riding dualsport for 30+ years and have a list of bikes. Currently the Rally is easily my favorite. Had a 450L with almost 4k in extras...just didn't like it. Anyway, sold the 450L almost 2 yrs later, had 950 on it. Have had my Rally barely more than two months and just about ready to turn 3000 miles. Most likely next year it will be set up for the BDR's. (Arizona is home). I was just in MD last month and my buddy and I did a 5 day back road ride into PA, up to Erie, PA and back. All back roads, hitting trails as we saw them. He was riding my old 2008 WR250r. I was thinking of contacting you when I was in MD. I'll be back out there next May or June.
Awesome, yeah not far from me. We will have to meet up for a ride sometime.
G’day. Look forward to the content of the CRF Rally. I sold my CRF250L and picked up an almost new SWM Superdual X. Lot of bike for the money. Enjoy the extra punch on the road while still good off road. Just miss the nimbleness of the CRF. I am entertaining the idea of switch to CRF300 Rally. Wish Honda did a 450/500cc in this category.
Those KDX are ridiculously easy to ride
2-strokes and very forgiving. Looking foward to your Rally vids.
Yeah they are fun, and thanks!
Cute evolution! I kept my 250L, converted it back into a dual sport / road legal bike, and picked up a KDX220R for the dirt. Love it! Best upgrades will be Lectron carb, high compression head (only if it's a 220), hotter spark coil, FMF everything, and have someone do the front suspension if you weigh more than 145 lbs. Torture Test Magazine has a nice video on the KDX.
I was really considering the lectron carb. I also considered getting a KDX220 lol. I just got a plate for my 200 so I went through it all to get that street legal. I don't know if I want to so it so soon again for another bike but buying a KDX220 is temping, they are another 25% more hp.
Wow I was shocked when I saw the thumbnail because of the high praise you always gave to the 300l, but after watching the video it’s a really smart plan. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you, and there will still be a ton of 300 content coming out
Looking forward to the rally content
Thank you! I cant wait to get it, I have been waiting for so long.
I’ve been contemplating selling my Rally for an L. I’m wanting to do more off-road and feel the L might be better suited for that.
Well once I get my rally I will know for sure. So keep an eye out for a comparison video
If your over 150 pounds neither of these bikes are worth a shit (including the Rally),the suspension is horrible but it's liquid cooled and it's a damn sexy Enduro.
@@bigmike9527 well I have suspension coming spung for my weight and gear. I will say you are fine at 180 with stock suspension. There is a preload setting, I'm 240 and have been using stock suspension for over a year.
@@MotorcyclesOffroad can’t wait
@@MotorcyclesOffroad ok but are you an experienced rider and do you ride hard and push the bike to it's limit's? It don't take long to discover the bikes limit's and you certainly can't ride it hard.its a put put around type of bike and that's about it.
Nice two stroke! I switched to a YZ125x after riding a KLX 300R for a couple years and there's no way I can go back to 4t's.
Well the KDX is like a 4stroke 2 stroke haha. A ton of low and torque and a heavier flywheel.
Does the YZ125x still have enough power for you after being on a 300R?
@@DakotaHDrums Its got way more power. Its roughly 35hp at the rear wheel, while the KLX is only about 27. Its also 213lbs WITH a full tank of gas (weighed it myself) vs the KLX that's floating around 280lbs . Its more nimble, and likes to be revved a bit more, but its smokes the 300R in terms of power. The better suspension makes me able to push it way more to.
That being said, the KLX is still a fantastic bike, and if you want a casual woods, duel sport, or medium difficulty trail bike, you'd be hard pressed to get something better. Its got an amazing maintenance schedule, and is damn reliable and durable to.
@@coltonowens2742 for me a lot of it has to do with where the power is. A 4 stroke like the 300 has more low power then the KX which needs high rpms. I find the the 4 strokes are much better at trail riding and I mean they are supposed to be. The KX model line was made for motocross. So when I used my KX250 for trail riding ot felt like bagging in a nail with a wrench. The kdx is also made to be a trail bike rather then a motocross bike, so for me it really feels like the right tool for the job. Don't get me wrong I love them all tho in their own ways.
@@MotorcyclesOffroad Andrew, having areal problem with handlebar vibration once I changed out my bars for 1-1/8” Pro Taper Evos on my 300 Rally. Any suggestions? Thinking Grip Puppies, but want to investigate dampener if that’s a better solution... Many thanks for any advice...
What happened to having two separate builds for two different riding purposes?
Well things are always evolving but I still have that. Since I have access to the 300L and I'm building out the rally I can ride them side by side with the 2 different builds. So far I have documented and built the 300l for a great offraod steet legal single track machine now I'm going to document the rally as a light adventure.
I sold mine when I came into work and the girls in the office were watching the security footage of me pulling in the driveway, and were laughing about how I looked like a circus bear riding a tricycle. They said I needed a little bell on the handle bars and streamers coming out of the grips to complete the look.. Women can be so cruel and brutally honest.
and you sold the bike to seek their approval? Not that you don't like riding it, not that it has some mechanical issues, no, you sold your bike because of some women were mocking you :)
@@valentinursu1747 Uhm, they're right. The bike was designed for a 120lb Asian Lady-boy.
I would never sell anything because of some others opinions. I guess you are I are very different
@@MotorcyclesOffroad I didn't sell it because of their opinion. I sold it because it was too small for me. Their opinion just happened to be right.. and hurtful.
@@MotorcyclesOffroad Understand? Or does every 320lb guy need one of these bikes?
Good call I say it's skill level why some people don't like it
Well idk of that's why they don't like it, but I can say it is a fully capable of doing offroad well.
Another great video man keep it up
Check out SRC Moto for their skid plate and crash bars. Extremely high quality and they look fantastic. I also have their headlight guard and brake fluid reservoir guard.
Totally jealous about the KDX. I have seen a couple Australians upgrade the CRF suspension. I bet that would be an awesome upgrade for the CRF.
Yeah, I have suspension coming so we will see!
COS for the win!
Engine rebuild at 125 hours. WHAT on my 2 strokes i put a new top end in every 20 to 30 hours depending on where it was ridden.
Well kdx 200s are a lot different. Something like a CR or KX yeah you have to do often but KDXs will got 90-130 hrs with no issues. This is my 3rd time owning this motorcycle I know a ton about it.
Man your Kawasaki is pure un nessesary noise pollution. I absolutely love back country riding, my Super Tennere 1200 does it all. And doesn't disturb deer and other wildlife or my neighbors when I get home late or leave early. I don't think it's giving you any advantage to have exhaust screaming. Well one is other riders can hear your passing them. Many have said I scared the shit out of em passing them on the whoops with my 1200. What can I say I love to send it too.
Will you do a hear video? I’m getting my 300L in a few weeks but I have to buy helmet, jacket, everything and it’s hard to choose from
Adventure and dirt bike gear while being responsible and wearing protective gear
Ohh you mean gear video?
what psi do u run when going on those really rocky trails shown in the video?
Usually I run 10psi in sand and 14psi on rocks.
@Andrew, what are the handguards on your KDX? They look solid, better than Acerbis ones that bent for me after three first low speed drop.
I will have to look for you, they were on it when I bought it. So they are really flimsy on the plastic guard part which isnt bad because they flex. Then the guard part is really heavy duty. I kinda like them.
Hey did you signup to do the stakeholder survey for Wharton state forest? As always great content!!
I did see it was going on I havent looked to much into it. I was going to this weekend. What do you know so far?
So the rally will maintain knobby tires right?
It will have to.
WR is 🐐 boys lol. But I’d go rally too if I went Honda.
WR is ok, KDX is better in everyway 😝 From someone who had both.
Although I’ve never had or ridden either I’ve got to give the WR the nod. And, just like my comment I’ll be looking for a good comparison between the two double zero, 22 zero, and the blue 🐐 because I’ll only ever be in the market for old used iron.
I’m looking forward to that new KDX mic mod. 🐝
Wow............. just picked up a 300 sorry to hear............
Well I will have a rally, so close to the same thing
Woohoo, first view!°
🎉
Move up to a Beta 200RR
I didnt think that was street legal?
@@MotorcyclesOffroad It's as street legal as a KDX 200
@@billcope7434 well I mean I have a tag and insurance for the KDX. A lot of riding I do I need street legality.
@@MotorcyclesOffroad I would guess if you can get a plate on a KDX you can get one on the Beta, their MSO does not say for off-road use on them.
Who's the two chord guitar player ? I feel like I'm in 7th grade again
That was me in my basement a few years ago.
A few years ago when he was in 3rd grade!!! Looks like someone has 4 years of catching up to do.
The kawasaki KLR IS N BETTER BIKE
Then what?
😭
Haha its ok, I still have 300 content coming.
For the rally, outback motortek crashbars and bashplate highly recommended!
Nice! I have already reached out to them. So I will see what they say.
@@MotorcyclesOffroad They are an awsome company! I reached out to them because of a misalignement during welding on my luggage rack, and they sorted me out within a week!
I went with SRC Moto and they worked great on the TAT with my Rally.
