- Honda calls it the "dirt bike for thrill seekers." What does our guest road tester Mike Bell think of this single cylinder four-stroke? Let's just say that he wants one... or two. Available in 4K!

Great little bike. Have owned mine for 2 years and clocked up 20,000km riding all kinds of terrain and mulit day camping trips.
What a great video thank you so much i see you are from Ontario Canada so am i
They should have put the 300cc motor in it, or put the 500 twin in. Neat looking bike. I'd travel on one of these any day!
From seeing how many people use the regular Honda CRF250L for long distance & World country crossing I must disagree. The Honda Rally & regular CRF250L are perfect for their audience. Which seems to be:
- For the budget conscience - It's 5,000 to 6,000 USD
- For gas conscience. It gets 70 miles per gallon
- For speed conscience. A 250 can cruse comfortably at normal HWY speeds
Honda already has a 500 in their X line anyway.

No it a 250 dirt bike, 250 single cylinder, or go buy a versys, wait the diet reveiws arent even close to as good, its a 250 rally bike styled after the dakar bikes, they are talking about a 450 and limited run 1000 rally bikes go spend 10-20k usd on a a rally bike i commute on mine I love the power band, and ability to go and park anywhere
the 2021 rally use the 300cc engine first time
Looks like Honda answered your call, the CRF 300L Rally is available. Been waiting for that one myself, just ordered mine.
Wife and I each have one I'm now at 4000 kms and love it. We'll be hauling them to Florida to ride a month boom docking from place to place with a truck camper.
Before leaving Seat Concepts saddle are to be installed on both. Also a new pair of 50/50 tires.
Perfect for our ridding black top sand and gravel country roads.
Jean-claude chiasson Did you install the seats? Does it make a difference for long distance ride? Thanks.
Vit Saf yes I did install. On mine I got the regular height and like it a lot. Big difference. The other one we got the lower model it's an improvement but not as food as the regular high.
If Mike Bell says it’s cool then it’s definitely got the cool factor happening 👌💯
Got one and love it :)
is the 250 motor good enough for solid trail riding? hills?
@@allans7281 lol 250 is the best engine ever
I had to lower mine which is a linkage and new kickstand. Its a fun bike and people love it. On highway? Not bad. Over 100km it gets more challenging. But I do it and I love it
Was the suspension too soft for street use?
If this bike came with ABS here in Canada i would have bought it. Living in Vancouver with the rain and it being a first bike i wanted ABS. I truly do love that bike it looks and feels awesome, i do think they should throw the 300 engine in there though and let Canada in on the ABS option too.
I have one and I really like it. It feels way faster than a 250;
I drive all conditions and all terrains but mainly as a commuter.
I keep up with traffic on the highway. My wanker bike buddies
don't really like it but I have yet to see them follow me off road.
What year is yours?
🤘🤣👍
These guys mention that it's incredible while riding it off-road but would be worth it, if Canada's terminology for off road, would resemble woods with dirt trails.
I cut the strap off my 250 rally seat after two days of owning it. Now I have 700 miles on it and love it.
You cut it off? There's two bolts/screws under the seat to remove it...
Do you guys work for Honda?
Can't understand people whining about the size of the engine. Why would you need 650 ccm and +180 km/h top speed on a trail? It is not a highway touring bike. If that is what you looking for go buy an Africa Twin.
Is there a back up kick start? if not any concerns?
There is not. But there is always back up bump start.
What kind of boots are you wearing?
Electric start; fuel injection. What did you expect? This is 2018. Good review, though.
also non indian, unlike ktm 2018 ...
How tall is this guy on the bike?
8 feet
8feet in cm?
@@vladan3147 he's joking. 8 ft in cm is like 3 meters
@@florinsi 😂😂😂
Please Mr Honda.....continue this design, it's beautiful, practical and user friendly. Put two to three different size motors in 'em. Push the AT motor to 1200, put a three cylinder 1000 in this must have for us.....please!!!!
What is your height?
5'10 and is more than big enough for me.
Rear sus looks a bit saggy.
what about revs on the highway???
Good question, Travisj.
They remain low
The medel spring is soft...not good
FFS HONDA!!! WHY WOULD YOU MAKE A RALLY BIKE AT A 250 ENGINE!! I think a 350 would have perfect!! 250 barely can sustain 70mph in high elevation
Is that true of this bike?
If you want a bigger bike then buy a bigger bike
@@danmanthe9335 lol spot on, sick of people complain about smaller cc when there's hundreds to choose from.
Why mention 70mph, for off road purposes, I would not recommend hitting the trails, that high. I want to have fun, not kill myself.
@@EdisnFox there are such thing as highways you know. perfect example...my 701 enduro can go 80mph on highway and do single track and trails around colorado
A old aprillia Touraq rally looked better.or the old crf 250. The 2017,2018 crf 250 rally fuel tank needs the be wider and taller. The tank needs to be wider, so that the knees are more protected. A 6th gear. 350cc. Upside down forks. Gold Red Black color. A Yamaha 660Z or BMW Gs600 ,800 sitting way better, but too much cc's when fully loaded up with duffels bags.
This bike is heavy for 250cc
Lol, try offroading on a Tiger 800
Boring powerless sleeply
less boring and more power than any ktm which is zero HP after they break max 3,000 km after purchase ....
florinsi I’m curious whether or not you’ve ever owned a KTM? You seem to troll every off road video and comment about them. I bought my 690 enduro r and rode it almost immediately from Vancouver to Inuvik and back with zero problems. I guess haters gonna hate though
