Lot of story packed into 11 minutes of video, I like that.
As a German, I felt the "SCHNELL, FRÜHSTÜCK" part 😄
Cheers.
Danke :-)
very beautiful video. fun, without pretensions. just normal people having fun and amusing those who watch the video. simply enjoying the pleasure of riding a motorcycle. congratulations and thank you.
Thanks Carlos, glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely awesome video :) similar approach to what I did when I wanted to have a go at Green Laning I bought a 300 Rally rather than a bigger GS at the time (now on an 1150 as I'm not green laning)
The 300 had quite a bit of legs on it which was good would sit at 65 n do 70 smoothly for a single with the counterbalance shaft an 6th gear. Although the rear shock was dreadful ended up buying a Rally Raid Level 1 rear shock that sorted that out and sorted the static seat height out which made it easier to get on.
Having had the 390ktm x2 mine an dads both rejected for refunds then the Himalayan riddled with issues again n rejected for a refund the Honda did what Hondas do no problems an was fun on the road which I didn't expect although in the end I sold it for another more road based adventure travel bike. I wish it had had split seats an a 19" wheelset noticed Rally Raid do that wheel set now drat lol.
I that bikes like the 250 and 300 Hondas are a great way to go. I was pointing at the TV to dad haha ran the Rally in round those roads. Personally I think the new 1300s are getting daft now 28k for a GS that then you need to dealer service with the tech on it final drives that you cant rebuild etc much prefer bikes around 7k an under an the more we vote with our funds the more bikes will get produced at that end of the market! Awesome video again thanks to both of you for sharing
Good video😃from Japan 🇯🇵
I will support you from now on 👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. 🇯🇵🏴
love from Nepal. cheers for crf250l and for rider.
Nice one!
Thinking of getting one of these myself and good to see that charlie is the same height as me and seemed very comfortable riding off road, especially the deep water section. Liked the video so much that I've subscribed.
It’s definitely a fun bike. We had to sell ours because funds were low but are on the look out for another!
Guys! This is super video, and yes the little CRF250L is truly a funbike!!!!:) after having big cc bikes , finally if you think to buy a real and simple bike , get a Honda CRF !
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed. CRF is a cracker
Great bikes. I’ve just sold a crf 250 2014 super clean bike only 2k miles you can have great fun it definitely doesn’t need to cost the earth
This is my thought, also. Just bought a 2013 with low mileage. Not planning on any big adventures, but plenty of small ones in Northern Wisconsin.
Beautiful video Owen, it makes me want to go for a ride!!! I loooove Charlie’s new moto and hero suit, great choices and a fantastic topic! I really like that Charlie mentioned that she can pick up the bike- that’s always a huge confidence booster for me, the bikes weight can be so intimidating. Great great video!!!
What a beautiful video! Those foggy pov shots really have something magical to them. Great work! Also: Good choice bike, absolutely love my CRF250L❤
Edit: Just wanted to add that the conclusion through the comms is a great touch! Adds so much texture. Ok, that's it for now. Might add more compliments later.🙃
Glad you enjoyed it, poor Charlie froze for those first few shots so I’m glad they were appreciated! She makes a great subject for bike vids.
Great video!
a great video - long live cheap fun - thanks for creating the video
Cheers Mark, glad you enjoyed it. We had fun making it
Perfect bike..fun times👍 I've taken mine on many trips in Oz on highways but does struggle in head winds and hill, particularly when loaded....and the fuel use goes up alot. Great scenery btw..subbed and look forward to your vids.👍
Glad you enjoyed the vid and are also enjoying your 250 🫡
Beautifully filmed as always and a great subject matter as well… I never understand why people feel they have to spend £20k + on a bike when there are fantastically capable bikes available for less than £5k… I also agree entirely that bikes such as the CRF300 are way more manageable and fun off road than a fully kitted GS etc, as ‘Itchy Boots’ has proved. I have always said that if I was heading off around the world I would go on a ‘Big Bertha’ but I now think that the Honda is a sensible alternative, both are simple to maintain reliable bikes that can basically be fixed anywhere in the world without needing to be plugged into a computer first!
Given the choice it’d be a big Bertha just for the long distance comfort, but the Honda would be fine too…working on it is a real pleasure too, such simple well made mechanics!
Fantastic edit. Ridiculously good off road for a first time....better than me 4 years in! Do agree on the odd gearing on the CRF. Don't like the brake dive either. Good to have a bike you can smash though.
She’s a natural, does stuff easily first time that I need to lots of practice to learn myself! Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Great video. Good to see Charlie riding again. As she is good on-track I’d expect she is good on the trails too. Puts me to shame! Thanks for the video. How’s the KTM? Or have you already got over that phase.?! Les
Yeah she’s a natural, did really well for her first ride out and carried on no problem after the spill which is the main thing!
Love the KTM, hopefully not just a phase…can’t afford more “phases” 🤣
she's a beauty.
What have u done to nature😅😅😂😂
Where is Tokyo?
And big john?
Lost me there…que?
