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.

Hello. I’m a Honda dealership mechanic in East Tennessee. I just watched this video and wanted to comment my experience. I actually had the chance to assemble a 300L and a cbr300 on the same day last month at work. I remember doing them both at the same time and doing the test ride around our dealership at work back to back. I remember telling my coworkers that the 300L felt so much better just riding it around the lot at work after riding the cbr300. I was a motocross rider 20 years ago amd my last bike was a CBR600r about 10 years ago. The 300L just “felt good”. Plus the model I assembled had ABS. Granted at work a test ride is basically just a few trips around the lot and burnishing the brakes, the fit of the bike made me think twice about it. And as of the summer 21, we have only gotten 2 of the 300L in stock and they sold fast. I love the user display on the bars and the height of the bike. It feels more like a dirt bike to me than a street bike. I would recommend going and giving one a test ride!
How does the Royal engfield Himalayan compare to the 300l
@@ricksadler797 300L is magnitudes better than Himalayan. No comparison. Take power or weight or handling or...reliability, Honda is the clear winner.
I live in Knoxville Tennessee and I have looked everywhere for the 300 l and would love to have one.
@@TheHemiphil81 yep same ive been looking all over up to 16 hours away. I dont know about putting a deposit down at the dealership when locally they dont even know the date they are getting them ordered and instock ..nevermind never being able to sit on one or test drive it .
@@girishs1755 300L seat height is considerably higher than Himalayan tho isn’t it? Himalayan is at pretty much max height for me so 300 seemed out of the list option
My 300L is coming 8/30 and can’t wait, but I have to. Haven’t rode in almost 40 years but this bike is perfect for me to start riding again in my retirement. Your review was one of the best I’ve seen just subscribed.
Nice! its a really solid do it all bike I think you will love it. Also thanks for the complement about my review.
I hear ya on the 40 yrs! I’m almost 64 and...not to boast...walked in to Honda in NanImo BC, slapped down some money and two days later picked up my CRF300L with a skid plate and rear rack put on!
I was looking for the Yam KT250 (first bike 1973 Yam 175 Enduro) but nada, nowhere! Glad I moved over to the Honda.
Taking getting used to seat height mainly just from being off-bike for so long and a tad anxious about what the heck did I just do! Lol
My 73/175 had a jake brake which was awesome. This one has a similar ‘engine brake’ that kicks in whenever letting throttle go.
Weird when you want to coast down a slight slope so be ready for that. Now I just use ‘Mexican Overdrive’ when coasting!
Have only put 10Km on it getting it home but I am thrilled with the thought of hitting the trails!
Oh, mine is the red colour option!🤣👨🏻🦳
@@57Jimmy two days, nice! I’ve been waiting three months and that’s if it actually comes in 8/30. I’m feeling a little anxiety as well but I think after I start riding again it will go away. I was hoping to get the red one as well.
@@markgosser9578 What area are you from? Canada? USA? Elsewhere?🇨🇦

It makes me feel like i am 16 again but i can drive it on the street. i love it
👍
I’ve seen a lot of reviews of this bike but yours is amazing, thank you!!! Complete, honnest and far from being boring 😃 just ordered the bike last week and really hope i’ll get it soon as i can’t wait to enjoy it!! Will keep on watching great videos and dream in the meanwhile 😆😆
Now officially riding my 300L.
Can't get enough.
Lovin it!
Absolutely fantastic review! The quality and entertainment value of your review is second to none. As a very happy teen who grew up with a Honda 125 cc enduro in the late 70's, I could never shake that unmistakable feeling of freedom along with all of the great memories, that my little Honda facilitated. After a significant riding hiatus, I am finally looking at resurrecting that wonderful 2 wheel riding experience & picking up my first motorcycle in over 40 years. More specifically, I have my eye on an adventure bike, likely a 2023 Honda Transalp 750, pending its availability. To add to the enjoyment & riding experience, I also want my 20 year old son, who has never owned or operated a motorcycle, to join me, mostly on off road & single track riding. For a first or beginner bike, it seems the Honda CRF300L along with some riding lessons, is just about the perfect place to start.
Great video. I just got 2 of these for me and my son. First bike I have ever owned and after 3 months we love them. Your video really helps a novice like me know what to expect out of the bike. Great job!!
I just bought one and am on the way to go pick it up! Listening to reviews on the way and all are super positive so far with the typical same drawbacks that you mentioned.
Thank you for your videos man. Excellent editing, quality, and content. Been on the fence about which model to get and went through the exact train of thought you had during this series. I was on the fence but contacted a local dealer tonight that should have 3 in stock. Fingers crossed I’m out there shredding with the best of y’all by Sunday. Can’t wait to start riding again.. been a while. Take care bro!
Did you ever get that bike?
Great work on the video! I am a relatively new rider. I had been looking at the dual sport world and as you know the market has been absolutely crazy. Any used bikes that are for sale are going for near new prices. I had been debating between a used KLX250, Yamaha XT250, or KLX230. I then saw the release of the CRF300L back in January and immediately said that would be the perfect bike for me. So I put a deposit down and waited and waited and waited. It got to the point that I almost took the money back and went the expensive used route. But finally after 4 months delays my bike came in. I agree with all of your review. It’s a great bike that isn’t perfect in one thing but it’s truly a blank canvas bike that you tweak to what suits you best in your type of riding. Thanks again.
Awesome that you got one. I actually commented back to this comment when I was on vacation but I guess it never posted.
This is one of the most useful clips about the 300L thank you! I’ve recently done a lot of off-road training on my Africa Twin, which was fantastic, but of course it’s tall and heavy and takes two to lift upright when it falls awkwardly. This 300L is top of my list and your review has really helped answer many questions I had. I’m heading down to my Honda dealership next week with my negotiating hat on!
Thanks for sharing your experiences. Funny how your videos make my choice in bikes both easier and more difficult at the same time. Because it is taking me so long to save up for the kind of bike I want, if is allowing me more and more time for research. Every time I see a review of a new bike I might like, I go down the rabbit hole of all the reviews and articles on that bike. However, I keep coming back to the 300L. I a bit over 50 and go back and forth between XCs and dual sports and have touble deciding if I want to have one for just off-road or one to go here and there and also off-road. The info and personal experience you share really helps me lean in the dual-sport direction. Affordability, trail access, running around town with fun and awesome fuel efficiency... just seems a smarter choice. Anyway, I just keep babbling on here.... so, I really appreciate your videos. Thanks! And keep on rollin'!
Love the review!! I'm 67 and my last bike was 87 CR 500 which I loved. But thinking that this Dual Sport will do the trick. Keep up with reviews! ✌️👍
67 years old and 87 CR 500..Nice, Bad Ass Bike Hands Down...Your a Local Legend👍👍......I'm 55 and I ride a KLR650 and I think I'm Cool for my Age...lol...
Great video man, love how thorough you are! Keep it up
Thanks again and thanks for the comment.
I've been looking at this bike for a while now and your video was one of the best reviews i saw so far! I actually was at an Honda dealership today and saw it there, brand new! Might get it in the future as a second bike for offroad riding!
Great video, I was fortunate to have one get traded in still under warranty and highway miles on it , at local dealer. Great bike your video is really spot on, about the rear shock, being an older rider 60 , I have found this soft shock actually useable when ridden with an effort to incorporate the riding position in the tougher terrain as if on exercise equipment, sounds crazy but it works for me and I feel great. Thanks again
Great reviews. I've been watching all of your 300L videos along with a bunch of others on TH-cam and you've pretty much convinced me to go with the 300L (or Rally) rather than get something used like 250 or DRZ. I rode a bike 25 years ago but now looking for something to ride casually on the weekend on simple trails and gravel roads with some friends who mostly ride big slow quads.
I was in the same boat I agonized but finally went for KTM690...a LOT more money but so incredible! I just did not want to end up bored...I wanted to ride with local off-road clubs and fit in....I don't recall seeing any of these in 250s or 300s so far...no KLRs d rarely even DRZ...Maybe because there is typically high speed highway sections getting there and then many miles of serious "truck trails"/fire roads ....something else that does not work well is the huge displacement adventure bikes....basically it leaves 450 to 890 bikes with good power and handling Seen a number of other 690 enduros, lately more and more 700 Teneres and 890ktms and typically a couple bikes such as the KTM EXC (350-500) or CRF450RL ...those bike haul butt on the rough dirt sections but they are not much fun at all on highway sections! The 700s and 890s are wonderful on the highway and apparently other than being a bit more tiring they handle the off-road really well indeed! I am constantly amazed because they are like 100llbs more than my 690....the 690 is sort of right in between the 450/500 singles and the 700-890 twins...mainly just lacks a windshield to be nice on the highway....good luck though
Oh and the economy bikes that I have seen several do quite well with us believe it or not is the venerable old XR650L...Always seems to be older ones even though brand new are identical to 20 years old....Those old bikes have the power and are still light enough to handle decently with good tires...and a good rider though seat height is up there a ways! I hear they are like bullet proof too...I actually bought an old one but then I got the KTM so I quit riding it...Thing'll do almost 100mph! I never have taken it on a run with the club but I bought some new knobbies for the old girl (2005 with 1600 original miles!) so I do plan on at least trying it once ....I would try a 300 too...IF it had suspension
I bought a used DRZ400 this past spring to get back into riding after 10 years but I really considered a new 300L however didn't because of the delay to get one. A co-worker got one and loves it. I am really thinking about one for next spring if they can actually get some here as I would really like fuel injection and a 6th gear! Thanks for the great video!
Fantastic review. I agree with you 100% I've had my 300 long enough for the rear tire to basically be almost bald. In a couple of days I'm installing the Motoz Ralls on the rear and a Pirelli MT21 Rally on the front. It'll be a pretty serious tire upgrade. Both are 10-20/80-90% road/offroad. I had a KTM 690 Enduro R which I sold in favor of the CRF300L and I don't regret it. The 690 was 50 lbs heavier and had way more power than I needed for off road riding. I also have a KTM 390 Adventure for those days I'll mostly be on road but still want the option to explore any dirt road I come across. I was one of the lucky ones who found my 300 a day or two after I started looking. Prefect timing.Thanks for sharing. Subbed.
I've had my 300L here in southern Ontario since May, I really enjoyed your review.
Thanks man, and you are one of the lucky ones to get one first.
Trenton?
I went to my local honda store to order one. The salesman said October, mabye. I offered to put a deposit down and he said theyre not taking deposits incase it blows out to next year. Keep up the inspiring videos . Cheers mate. Brian from Australia.
Brain man thanks for the support, watching and commenting. I feel like of I didn't live here I would love to love there, seems you guys have tons of cool places to ride. I don't watch many channels but that I follow all the time is from Australia. I hope you get one man, so you can enjoy some fun dual sport life!
You got me. Like your perspective on being fair without the manufacturers standing on your shoulder. I appreciate the review as this may be my next ride.
been riding a 1972 Honda CB350 for the last few year and just ordered the crf 300L rally ABS can't wait to get it. next July heading out on the Transamerican trail with it
What’s happening! I did a double take and had to hit rewind when I heard my name! 😀 Great video! Lots of useful and truthful info. I’m loving mine but I do feel we are in a small group of people lucky enough to own one, I put my deposit on it the day they were announced in January. Can’t wait to change tires and sprocket. Keep up the great content!
Well just like I said in the video, if Honda had giving me some Honda 300Ls then I would have got one to you! Much appreciated for all the support man.
An honestly thinking about it now Idk if you were the guy who could have got a DRZ or not. But your name came to mind because you are always here commenting.
@@MotorcyclesOffroad heck yeah I know it! I’m glad they got a few out there and I’m sure they are enjoying the hype but they would sell as many as they could manufacture and make a lot of people happy.
Thanks again for taking the time and sharing your thoughts.
@@MotorcyclesOffroad That was me lol. Even though you said lukefish I knew haha. I ended up getting the DRZ. I couldn't justify waiting till November to get my 300L. I actually plan on getting both and turning the DRZ into a supermoto after I can get a 300L.
@@DoctorSquid dude I'm sorry I didn't have time to think or go back I was just rolling as I went. But cool the DRZ for a supermoto is an awesome idea. The DRZ will be better then the 300 is stock. But the 300 has advantages like fuel injection, a slipper clutch, 6 speed transmission, better weight balance and lower seat height. I think you will love them both.
Best review I've seen so far of this bike--thank you for the time and effort it must have taken to put this together, super helpful. I keep stopping by the nearest Honda dealer, and they never have one out to look at--all of them that come in are pre-sold, so as soon as they dealer puts them together and gets them prepped, the buyers swoop in and get their bikes (I would, too!) before they can hit the floor. One of these days it will get back to normal, but for now, you just have to go with it and be patient.
With that price tag they will not last long. I mean we all.know there is better bikes, but you are going to pay more then double the price. Thanks for the kind words.
Thanks for your detailed review. I am looking to get my first dual sport and this review may have sold me on purchasing the CRF300L.
I come here 2 years after posting, and have to say i love the review. I just picked up a brand new 300L 3 days ago and havent had any chance to offroad yet even, but this video has given me great confidence in my purchase 😂 subbed for more, thank you for your honest review
Hi Andrew.
After watching several and several reviews, I can say that this video was the best one that adresses my points. Your are talented in storytelling, keep up with the work. My question to you would be, how big of a deal would it be having a smaller tank compared to Rally. I love the look of this bike but bigger tank on the 300 Rally appeals as well. Do you have any issues with the fuel capacity on your weekend rides ? I am just planning to commute daily (%70) and hit light trails here at BC. Do you ever need to carry fuel with you? Thanks!
I made a video about why I sold my T7 and going to buy a lighter dual sport. Out of 100 comments, at least half of them were suggesting the crf300l. I might have to go ride one when it hits the market in Norway!
Hello to you in Norway. I feel like they are different bikes for different things, but it will def be easier to move around on tight trails thats for sure.
@@MotorcyclesOffroad I agree they are different bikes for different things, but theres a slight overlap there aswell, in my opinion. A CRF300L can be made adventure ready, while a T7 cant really be made trail ready.
I bought a used DRZ in the mean time, lets see how I enjoy the dual sport side of things.
Do you have other bikes besides the CRF?
Great Videos! Still waiting on my 300L here in Canada. Can't wait to get mine. Loving your set up! Looking forward to building something similar . Cheers
Good stuff. Was riding my brand new CRF 300 just today out on gravel roads. What a fun little bike!
This has to be the best 300L review so far. It’s because you didn’t offend people like me who has a lot of off-road experience. I like the fact that you disclosed your experience and riding abilities right off the start. This in itself gave you credibility. You also discussed that you were not pressured into writing positive reviews. Over all, great video. You’re like a young FortNine. Keep it up. I like your authenticity.
I totally agree the availability is ridiculous! I’ve been waiting for over one month for my 300L 🤨
A month you are lucky mate, I am in Australia ordered and paid for in full April 27th and still waiting
Lol, I'm up to 4 months so far, looking at 5.
Ordered Feb for April, may, June, sometime this year?? If I don’t hear something soon I’ll need to look at a klx or the 450l. Daughter added the army in oct. want to get some time w/her before she heads off
I ordered in MArch was told first week in May. It got delayed 7 times after that to the end of June.
very nice video, I'm sold. Especially appreciated having the info in metric too, I cannot think in imperial units so that little extra effort from your side is a huge help
Haha yeah, I try to put it in there. Looking at my analytics it seems my audience is split 50/50 on what system they use.
My favorite 300 video yet ! Great mix of perspective and really cool riding. The Rally is a great companion bike for my Tiger 900. My adult son got his endorsement today so we’ll be out on both 😊
Aww man that is awesome Red. My boy is only 11 but we just rebuilt his bike together 2 months ago. I can't wait so I can ride with him on the road one day.
Great review! Wanted honda to build a bike like this forever. Like a road bike on the road and very capable off. The tall 6th and abs...
It really is a solid bike, I am glad you enjoyed.
I also recently did a 300 Rally review: th-cam.com/video/FEj-KXaRvSs/w-d-xo.html
308lbs!?!?!?!??? Holy crap. How is it even that heavy. Is it a steel engine? If you think that's maneuverable you should take a ride on my KTM xcf 350 which is only 222 lbs and extremely fast, lol
Prob doesn’t matter to much but the 350 is about 238 dry (at least the 2020. The 2018 is listed at 229 dry), which is a little trickery that ktm does with weights, so add another 15 for liquids. Again I’m sure it rips compared to the crf300. I sure hope your getting double the fun and performance because your going to be paying more than double the cost of the crf tho. Both prob great bikes, but likely slightly different audience for each one. BTW I own a 300 rally which is even heavier lol
@@cjohn8440 mine is a 2017 mint. I have it geared low for woods riding, 13/52 and it still hits 80 mph. You can wheelie it practically in any gear easily, insane torque. Just have to be careful riding it cuz it could kill you really quick haha
Yeah all those bikes lie about their weight. It can be 238lbs but then add gas +16, add coolant +8, add oil and brake fluid +8 now you are already at the 270lb make. The exhaust on the 300L weighs like 18 lbs alone, my battery swap saved me another 5, footpegs another 2. What are we really talking about here? its not even a difference of 10% in total weight comparing the bikes. Me personally I dont feel weight is the most important thing with a bike. I will gladly take a bike with more weight to not have to chance the oil as often lmao.

Best dual-sport ever? Are you joking?
We had better bikes .. like 40 yr ago ..
I like Honda's, but im a big guy . 6' 3' 230 lbs the klx crf 250 and 300 ,s are just to slow . My 93 xr 600 was about perfect. It and my 05 400 exc could hit 90 mph with me on it
@@GallicGarlic Did you see my new video on the Yoshimura exhaust? I am ripping through single trail, this bike handles it so easily. Those older dual shock rears where the worst for offroad. Look how balanced this bike is: th-cam.com/video/LFz_r1Mj_r0/w-d-xo.html

I appreciate the review. I have been looking for a dual sport for a while. Ive had lots of used bikes but ive been looking for something faster, something I dont worry about getting rear ended on the highway doing 30 under the limit. I don't like buying new, I never have. My cars, trucks, vans etc are all used and I love them, something just doesnt feel right about dishing out so much money. That being said after humming about it and watching almost every review of this thing on youtube, I think it is exactly what I am looking for.
I also totally hear you on reliability. My dirtbike is still a 1986 suzuki sp250. That thing takes so much abuse, has so many km's on it and its perfect for what I do. Plenty of power. And the best part, it still starts on the first kick every time. I pull it out of the garage after its long sleep through a winter in the rockies and it fires up on the first kick every single time. Now if only I could get it to stop blowing the front tire. Hit a massive pothole, flat tire. Ram it into a tree across the trail, flat tire. I think thats mostly on me though.
Was so well done I subscribed. I am an fairly experienced on road rider but I can’t decided between the klx300, drz400 and crf. I already have a Harley I just want to explore. This was very informative
I used to ride as a kid started with a Honda 50cc and worked my way up to a Honda CRF150L (I think) I rode for close to 9 years and when I went to college we had to sell my bike. Now here I am 23, graduating, looking to buy another bike, because I need something to scratch that adventure and outdoors exploring itch. This seems like one of my best options for the price and I loved how detailed and put together the video was. It was fun and interesting for me to watch and I'll probably watch this again in the future because it's just a good video. 0 complaints will watch again thank you for posting and giving me a bit of knowledge!
Excellent video. Been trying to get one for months now. Almost settled for a 450RL, but that bike died 3 times just blipping the throttle at idle.
Just fitted YSS suspension front and rear ,Renthal bars and Acerbis hand guards and plastic skid plate ..
I’m 210 pounds so the suspension needed upgrading from stock.
Spend a few quid and you turn a great bike into a brilliant one
Had a F850 GS and it was beyond my skill set and with my old knees and bad hip it was too heavy for me.
The 300l is just a great bike to get started off-roading and a great bike for every day use and commuting .
It’s turned me into a 52 year old hooligan .
Love it.
All the best from the UK .
😁🇬🇧🏍
52 year Hooligan 😂😂😂😂😂👍💪💪 CHP#26
Thanks for the great review. I was already leaning to get one of these but this helped seal the deal. But like you said they are hard to find so the hunt will continue. Ive never had a dual but for what i need this is the perfect fit. Thanks again from Halifax NS Canada
Just bought one today. Called yesterday for a Klx and a crf came today. Loving it so far.
Haven’t hads chance to see your videos yet but if not , mods with list. Lol
Haha you got lucky! And I just posted a video with a mod list: th-cam.com/video/e4Vb8ks54s0/w-d-xo.html
At 65 I bought one. I use it to go around various towns in my area. Sometimes on light trails, I go exploring and love the freedom it brings me.
Thank you for a brilliant review.
I’ve ordered my Rally and have to wait 4 months. If I wanted the L it’s a 7 month wait here in Australia. Crazy stuff.
Still, can’t wait to get mine and videos like this enhance my excitement 👍
Well I hope you get it soon, I also did a review on the rally: th-cam.com/video/FEj-KXaRvSs/w-d-xo.html
Great vid. I had a 2017 250Rally that I sold and regretted it. I'm looking at a new 300L and probably will buy it tomorrow. Your video reminded me of the fun I had.
Glad to get the information on the Honda 300L, I have been considering getting something like that to scale down from my KLR
Awesome man, I commented on your other comment before. I think it will be a good choice to pick up a rally.
Thanks for the great educational video, and a huge thanks for not ruining it with crappy background music while you're talking. I don't know why some people are compelled to add annoying background music throughout the video.
Haha I do it to a point but I dont like it to overpower my voice.
But thanks for the complement and Im glad you liked the video.
Excellent video. I appreciate the primer on the mods and the rationale behind them. Keep it up!👍
Have ridden sportsbikes for 30 years but I'm a beginner on dual-sport. Have considered the 300L before seeing your review. Thank you
Thanks, I owned a crf250l 3 years ago. Ready to ride again, you made this bike a perfect fit for me. Thanks again!
Awesome, I also did a rally review. I love that bike as well.

Hey mate this is such a great vid and has me sold now- hopefully getting my hands on a 300L soon
Exceptional review! The issues you address right up front about quality reviews convinced me this would be a good one. I have a 300 Rally I'm loving. My Africa Twin has been feeling very neglected this summer.
The Honda is such an easy bike to ride. I don't blame you. I have the 300L and a Tenere 700.
Dig your reviews! Just ordered my 300l today, thanks for the info.
Thanks man! I have a few up already.
Nice review. Forty seven years ago I had a Honda MT-250 Elsinore which was the street legal version of the motocross bike. Watching the trail riding video brought back many fond memories of the 6,000 miles I put on the bike in the year I owned it about half of them off road. Thanks.
Awesome that sounds great! I am glad you enjoyed the video.
I also have the Rally review here: th-cam.com/video/FEj-KXaRvSs/w-d-xo.html

Great review.
Been off of the dirt for 20 years. Going back on with the kid.(250F) Been on the fence for a while about what to ride.
This and a couple other videos have really been helpful.
Pulling the trigger on a new 300 L today.
Thank you
Thanks TH-cam for recommending this channel I’m all subscribed love the off-road great job bro🚀🚀🏍🏍🎥🙋🙋🤩
I have a Honda CRF250L and I love it. I dont't plan to upgrade to the CRF300L, but your video was very interesting amd well put. I'm subscribing!
Fantastic review, just what I was looking for. Thanks to your review, I have put down my deposit ! You just sold me a Honda ! Keep up the good work, really like your thoughtful approach to this review. Thank you.
Thanks for your opinion on this bike. It's just great video. Don't know what to ask. Looking into buy one. Thank you for this video
Finally !! Picked mine up yesterday and while I was their, I snagged a lil Crf 50 for my kids to learn on.
I hope by next summer I can save up enough to get me one of these I'm 16 and I absolutely love Honda I have my dad's 78 XR 75 that is my bike at the moment and I want to get a new bike so I can retire it as an antique and have something capable of being both on and off road. This was a really great review I love how you are not biased and you said what you felt like saying.
Thanks man, I hope you end up getting one too. The more people out here riding the better. And yeah this bike will probably last forever.
Thank you very much for the great review. Your review really helps me going forward.
Awesome David, glad I can help you out.
Thanks for the info just getting into light of reading this bike seems perfect for me cheers
Nice video. Communicated well! I like the way your brain works, and how you keep the viewer engaged.
Thanks man, with the reviews I really try to deliver all the information I can. I really want people who havent been able to ride the bike, have the most information as possible.
Great review! And great video to watch. I felt like I was there on the trails with you.
Thanks man, Im glad you liked it! I just did another review on the KLX300 and Im working on the DRZ400 now.
Andrew, enjoyed the review, I'm thinking about the 300l Rally, thinking that would fill more needs than my KLR650 what I currently have and reviews like your are extremely helpful.
Did you end up putting a deposit on one yet?
This was a great review, man! I wish more channels were like this! Thank you!
Great video and review. I've got a 300L on my wish list. Thanks!
just ordered mine! Thanks for the solid review...
Great video my man. I'm picking mine up this morning 8/20/21 from Lexington M/S I've been rockin 04 xt225 to work and logging rds in pineville ky. I was born in the 60s but feel like a kid at Christmas. Xt goin to my grandson. Ride safe my friends!
Hey man that is awesome, you will love the upgrade. I had an XT225 once, they are really good running easy to ride bikes. Even my girlfriend loved to ride it. Eventually someone drove from NH (8 and a half hr drive) to buy it from me because of how clean it was. Thanks for the comment.
Awesome video man, appreciate the content. I have a deposit down on the 2022 model, it’ll be my first bike and I can’t wait! Cheers from Vancouver island, Canada
Jist got fixed on this bike a couple days ago after seeing how much im getting back in taxes from my boy biden this year. Iwas def getting a bike this year it was going to be a 250r n then i seen the 250l but then the next day i seen the 300l and started down a rabbit hole of videos on the improvements over the 250l and was hooked within minutes. My last bike was a crf150rb that was my second bike ever at 31 yrs of age i knew i was always going to go to a 250r but life got in the way after i sold it planning on getting a 250r so now here we are almost 4 years later better job my own place and totallyhooked on hunting down a 300l .im going to the local honda delaership tomorrow because before watching ur vid i had no idea they were scarce. Im in central PA but ill travel wherever i got a truck.idc how far i gota go .im gonna be on a 300l this spring hopefully next month ..ripcity bro ...
Howdy Mr. Andrew,
I've got a picture of my bedroom mirror of a Honda enduro, that's older than you are...My point is I'm at the stage in my life, where it's time to make my childhood dreams come true. One of my bucket list dreams is a Honda dualsport in the woods! I just got back from throwing a leg over a Crf300l at a friendly dealership and I've got to agree. It felt good for the small amount of time I had with it. I'm am still considering the Klx300sm, but im headed for your comparison vid, of the two. I enjoyed your review, happy to be a new sub, & I look forward to watching more of your content! Thanks for helping me decide💖
Im going this weekend to put the deposit down for one. Not looking forward to the wait but im sure it will be wort it. Great video
I just got one today. I love your review and I love the bike.
Nice, well congratulations!
Great review! I retired (sold) my 1999 dr350se last year and replaced it with the Crf300l. Main reason was FI. I go way too long between rides and it got to the point where I would have to tinker with the dr every time I wanted to ride it. Like the dr - tires and suspension will make a world of difference. I’m very happy with the CRF - look forward to modding it in the future!
Yeah the crf300L really opens up with mods especially the ECU.
I also recently did a 300 Rally review: th-cam.com/video/FEj-KXaRvSs/w-d-xo.html
I’m in Australia and ordered a 300 Rally this week (July) and was told I won’t see it before Feb 2023. Worth the wait I recon and after your review of the “L” I’m even more convinced. Thanks for you vid.
Been debating for a while on this bike. Haven’t had one in 10 years. Excellent review. Thank you so much. Going tomorrow to buy it.
I can tell you for sure, that if you are getting back into riding this is one of if not the best dual sport you can get into. You will love it.
Thank you so so much, it’s rare that a nobody like me gets a reply. Saved all your vids so far, looking forward to doing little mods….. just watched your ECU vid too. You make excellent vids and reviews. Thank you for your hard work, and looking forward to learning more about my bike.
@christopheranthony7644 hey man your comment just made my night. Thanks for the support! I try to answer as many comments as I can.
Finally a fair assessment of the suspension or a realistic review of suspension
👍 Thanks for the comment.
Thank you for your video and commentary, it is very helpful for me, I will probably buy the CRF300L in Taiwan
Awesome, great all around good bike. Not amazing at anything but does everything well. Personally I have come to love the rally better. I just did a review on that bike as well : th-cam.com/video/FEj-KXaRvSs/w-d-xo.html
Many thanks Andrew. . Enjoyed the Vid . . Luv the bike ! !
Thank you for a very honest and comprehensive review of the 300L. I’ve been back and forth deciding between the 300L and the KLX300. After watching your video, I’ve decided to get the 300L. Thank you!
Just ordered a new one in grey for a reduced price of 5990€. Dealer expect it to arrive between january and march 2024. Done months of research and love dual sports. Cant wait to hop on it in spring and get some mods done :) Thanks for the review! This can be a unicorn!
# 357! I'm on 4 waiting lists. You are the man, Andrew!
Hey man, sorry for the late reply you were in the "held for review" section. But thanks and I hope you get the bike.
I love the video. I've been thinking about one of these since they came out. I think it'd be perfect for me pretty much the way you described it for you.
I've watched this video multiple times and it's one of my favorites for sure. Big fan here! Ride on brother.
❤👍 Thanks so much man!
Great video I live at jersey shore would love to ride and learn the barrens, Im an older rider (Suzuki DRZ400) and don't tear it up just ride for the fun get a little dirty and enjoy the ride.
Awesome man, I actually replied to this when I was on vacation but it never went through. Basically I said im always looking to meet new people to ride with.
Great video, so many options, this helps narrow it down!!
Finally a great review from a real guy. Love the review and how you put it together
Thank you! Im glad you liked the video!
I'm waiting to pick up my 300 rally this spring. I can't wait. I bounced around from the 300 and the rally, but ultimately tank size sent me to the rally.
Andrew very well done!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and opinion on the CRF300L,
Excellent review.
I found my bike!!
2 Fingers Up✌️
Haha thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the video. That was one of my first haha. Now I have covered almost everything on the 300L
Awesome review. I finally found a 2023, 2hrs away, have to go past about 27 honda dealerships on my way there. These really are non-existant. The bike isn't even assembled and I already bought it. Picking it up next week. Super excited!
riding through cool shadows of trails is probably the best feeling in life and this bike is perfect for that kind of adventure.
thanks for the nice review i need to wait 5-6 months till i get mine 🤯 but will hopefully enjoy it. I am riding a CRF 1000l. The 300 L will be for riding to work and short trips. + a bit offroadfun
You are spot on about availability . I have been trying for a month to find one ,or even a dealer to take an order . Well tomorrow morning I am meeting with a salesman to place my order and deposit . But he will not promise I will get a bike , he said I may be getting my deposit back . Good video by the way thanks
Great video dude. Really easy to listen to and enjoyed the B-Roll.
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
