After almost 1000 KMs, I like mine more than the day I bought it. Great around town bike, I rarely, if ever, use first gear. Cruises at 55mph at about 5k rpm on the road. Best 5k USD I ever spent really. Thanks Honda
Hi Tyler, after the first oil change at 1,000 kms, it's every 12,000 kms after that period. The intervals are much longer than traditional off-road dirt bikes.
@@ChrisG1392 yeah except he isn't only paying for reliability. he's paying for the power, technology, looks, longer life, and support that comes with bikes like these. if he's got the money, this is a phenomenal choice.
I had to mod my 250L quite a bit to ensure it lasted off road and performed slightly better but it was always hampered by the suspension, shame they haven’t addressed this still.
I was kind of expecting these bikes to be boring, but then I was amazed at how far motorcycle technology has come in the past few decades. High quality just drips from Honda's basic dual sport bikes. Clean, quality controls, fuel injection, and a button to turn off now required by law ABS. Looks like a fun bike.
My 250L was a blast. Probably the most fun bike I've owned to make videos on - now it's time to see if the 300L is a worthwhile upgrade or not. Ride safe.
Even though I have the money, I wouldn't replace my 2016 CRF250L; I'm emotionally attached. I have experienced so many memorable trips; from long road trips to climbing 2000 plus meter mountain peaks off road. When I replaced the rear sprocket with a 45 tooth sprocket it totally transformed the bike; it burns out in third gear at full throttle when I'm riding off road and I have ridden racing motorbikes in the past such as the Yamaha WR450R. If you need a gear indicator on the display, other than a neutral indicator; you don't ride your motorbike enough. I noticed that they still haven't changed the hideous tail light.
I think they are planning on making that a DIY for now. The 450 is too high strung for your typical adventure bike rider. You can put bigger fuel tanks and even better windscreens on the CRF 450 of you want. Probably best to leave it as a DIY for the Hardcore that know what they are doing the to dumb it down enough for a mass market.
@@brandonwilliams8003 Power isnt everything.....handling/suspension plays a big part too. Kawasaki will have the better suspension and Honda will make more power.

Want to sell a load of bikes - updated XR400 with electric start and good tuneable suspension components in a modern chassis with quality components (ie: hydraulic clutch, fat bars, disc brakes, etc) and a low seat height. Us older dirt riders want XR reliability and don’t need maximum horse power...but our old knees and half decent riding skills still require better suspension than what is currently offered on the current air cooled bikes. (Beta Xtrainer competition). There needs to be something between the high end racing bikes, and the beginner bikes that look like they should be sold at Canadian Tire.
Can we get a dual sport that is less than 300lbs please? You make one called a CRF450L, but it needs oil changes every 10 seconds. Could you just make the 300 the same weight? Thanks, Literally everyone who uses their dual sport on the trails.
Fantastic news! Back in November, the sales consultant at the dealership in Montreal told me the new 300 bikes were not coming to Canada for 2021. I just didn't want to believe him. I'm so glad he was wrong!
Motolove! Love my own yamaha. Always putting up the good stuff like Delta Parole, Metallica, Alice In Chains and others when I am working on her. Moto is life
This is pretty exciting considering how much I loved the 250L. Not too sure how I feel about the colors yet compared to the red/white or all black on the 250L. The display definitely looks nice. Ride safe everyone.
honda you should change the headlight and brake light to LED, and the headlight should have a on/off switch. I would love to have a 600cc in the 300L, I bet you would sell thousands.

Same size tank as the 250L which is already on the small side but now with higher fuel consumption so shorter range? And please tell me they’ve used a better material for the seat.
@@tylersignorelli that’s in the US. In Canada anything with wheels is always overpriced compared to the US. Even if you factor the currency conversion in its very out of balance. Sometimes $5000 on a $10000 unit.

Honest question i bought a 2019 crf 250L in black and loved it, very functional bike. My one major issue was the signal lights, why not add flexable ones off the 450L? Or atleast make a honda genuine accessory kit for the 300L and rally, slightly bummed out that they arent full led, cuz my tail light on my 250L kept breaking the filament from vibration offroad, still happy to finally see a 300 rally though
Can you tell me why motorbikes imported to Europe come differently from Asian countries, what I mean is that the lights and turn signals are different, in Europe they come after the old lights and turn signals and in Thailand completely with led lights ..it is fair explain to me please

@@HondaPowersports-OutdoorCanada Yes, I understand and respect it, but in Europe LED light is not banned in vehicles and even the turn signals are now all LED.

What about the XR650L? I’m waiting for a larger cc engine, preferably 500cc and up. Lower weight, better suspension, fuel injection, and keep same RFVC valves. I don’t think any of us mind doing oil changes often, it’s a simple thing to do, but we do NOT want to shim and bucket valves like the 450. Old school valves from 650L are a breeze to check and adjust and that is why we love the design.
Hello yes halogen headlight and incandescent turn signals are so 1980 please explain why they would not be installing LED all around for all markets?

Even at 31 horsepower and 140kg’s or 311lbs it’s still going to move at the speed of smell. The DRZ is 40 horsepower max from factory at about the same weight and just about shunts although it’s still not massively fast.
I sold my '15 CRF250L this past summer and picked up a new, old stock 2018 NC750X DCT for less than what the new Rally would cost me ($9300 OTD)...I'll wait a few years before grabbing a new CRF, or more likely find a good deal on a used CRF 300.
@@DStabs720 That was $9300 CDN ($7300 USD)...OUT THE DOOR, and I'm taking advantage of Honda's low interest (0.9%) financing for two years. I had to drive several hours for the deal, but since we were all stuck at home this summer it was a welcome getaway. I believe Honda was providing some serious rebates to dealers to get the old inventory moved in preparation of the updated '21 NC750X...keeping the brand fresh. Saved me over $3500 off the current '20 NC750X DCT. Still missing the CRF though 😔.
Hi Andrzej, this liquid-cooled 286cc engine has improvements with the airflow, better gearing, an exhaust system, and a slipper clutch that will support all low-speed riding conditions.
Hi Thomas, the seat height is only 5mm higher on the 2021 CRF300L vs the 250L. When it's safe to do so we recommend you go you your local Dealer to sit on one to really get the true feel of this new model.
If you check on every forum someone eventually pops out with "the best dual is the dr400", so I wonder why honda doesn't straight slap a 400 in this?! Because this 300 (280) is a bit slow for a lot of buyers, and it just miss so little to be the new perfect dual I just reminded that in some markets honda is still selling the xr. That would be enough perfect already

For most of our models, our genuine Honda accessories are produced in the same factory as the motorcycle. For the CRF300's, the Thailand factory would be the originating source.
@Johnny Rebellion if they got the details right? yes. because it would be a bike I keep for life and would be the niche of power to weight I would want. Highway capable but also tough single track capable. The perfect dual sport in my eyes.
I love my 2020 250L. No reason to upgrade though since these will be hard to get where I live in the US. I got the very last 250L at my dealer. It was produced April 2020 and the stopped production in May.
250L is such a solid bike. With the minimal increase in cc's not sure if the other additions are worth it to me. Are you running an aftermarket exhaust on yours?

I wish Honda would take the fight to the DRZ400. 7-8k price point, not 10k like the 450RL. 3000 miles oil change, not 600 miles. I'm not an enduro racer, I just want a good and reliable small adventure bike.

LED is not good for dust and fog. And in off road you may have dust, so LED can't clear it.

Hi Thomas, the seat height is only 5mm higher on the 2021 CRF300L vs the 250L. When it's safe to do so we recommend you go you your local Dealer to sit on one to really get the true feel of this new model.
Bnas tardes asta knada oigan 1na prgnta xsiste alguna posblidad dq la moto crf 300 L llgue a mexco? N un futuro no Ljano?
If you check on every forum someone eventually pops out with "the best dual is the dr400", so I wonder why honda doesn't straight slap a 400 in this?! Because this 300 (280) is a bit slow for a lot of buyers, and it just miss so little to be the new perfect dual
I just reminded that in some markets honda is still selling the xr. That would be enough perfect already
Honda, grow a set of balls and bring back the FourTrax 250R and 450R
Or 400 ex
They would if it was profitable
@@norrinradd2214 don’t follow that bullshit corporate line. I want a fuel Injected six speed 450 R with reverse. If they don’t make any money on it tough shit I have a barn full of Honda products
Just 3 more years until the CRF450 Rally is out if the big-bore trend keeps going like this!
CRF650L made from XR650R left overs. Please.
Where is the REAR CARRIER ORIGINALLY FROM HONDA, please display
For most of our models, our genuine Honda accessories are produced in the same factory as the motorcycle. For the CRF300's, the Thailand factory would be the originating source.
Looks better than the wr250r
Not a fucking chance... This suspension is stupid soft and bottoms out on a damn twig. Wake up.
Awesome guys, now make a 450 or 500 rally :)
@Johnny Rebellion if they got the details right? yes. because it would be a bike I keep for life and would be the niche of power to weight I would want. Highway capable but also tough single track capable. The perfect dual sport in my eyes.
why 300?is it so bad to make a new xr for europe?or a new nx650?com on big H...we need simple on/off strong bikes...look at tenere 700
Am I the only one who thinks they should have left the front mudguards the way they used to be? the nice curvy ones.
I love my 2020 250L. No reason to upgrade though since these will be hard to get where I live in the US. I got the very last 250L at my dealer. It was produced April 2020 and the stopped production in May.
250L is such a solid bike. With the minimal increase in cc's not sure if the other additions are worth it to me. Are you running an aftermarket exhaust on yours?
@@RideYEG I absolute love my bike. It is 100% stock besides a rear rack/bag. Skid plate and radiator guard
@@DStabs720 Ride safe✌️
@@RideYEG you as well brother!
Excellent
The engine went from 249.6 to 286 cc. The price went up by almost 1000$ for the L in canada. I'm not sure it's a good deal.
286 sorry
Hmmm, glad I bought a 2020 CRF250L and installed a full Yoshimura RS-4 exhaust/EJK on it. I like the new dash layout and features though 👍
@@sknell9493 me I just change the sprocket to make my bike more trail friendly
@@sknell9493 glad? You could add the same to the 300 and destroy that 250 lol.
Eagerly waiting in Nepal road
Wish I could buy one of these with no contact. I'm not worried about covid. I just hate motorcycle dealers.
Hi Sala_13, we appreciate your concerns; however, the sale of any Honda Canada product must be handled through our dealership network. Please contact your local Honda Sales Manager for current process's available to assist with Covid-19 restrictions.
I wish Honda would take the fight to the DRZ400. 7-8k price point, not 10k like the 450RL. 3000 miles oil change, not 600 miles. I'm not an enduro racer, I just want a good and reliable small adventure bike.
What,is the skid plate an option now on the L model?
Hi Dan, Yes, we will have a Honda genuine accessory skid plate for the CRF300's - details to be posted on Honda.ca in the coming weeks.
I refuse to believe you don't possess the technology to get rid of the giant front brake loop that obscures your vision.
