That's something I've come to identify after trying many of the well-known dual-sports over the years. I refer to it as "personality". I like the chill nature of these types of bikes best.
Still riding my 1973 honda motosport 250. I was 14 years old when this sl version came out, and now I'm 64 years old still enjoying it just as much.. Great video.
Wish I had my 1974 Kawasaki 250 Enduro used to ride that in the early mid-80swhen I was 15 my brother got it.. he just stripped it and took it to the junkyard. Nothing wrong with it.
That is so awesome, Hondas just go forever with the right care. I'm 65 and really regret selling my XR500A many decades ago, they fetch really big money now. Regards from New Zealand.
Damnit. I don't even have a licence. Why am i watching this? Now I have to make it, explain myself to my wife, buy a CRF, move to the countryside where I can happily ride it, quitt my job to have time for it, teach the kids at home...but I guess it's worth it, right?
Only you can answer that. Just look at it this way, you have 2 choices with the crf300 in the L or Rally. Don't wait till you're too old to do so. Good luck with your decision.✌🍻
It’s probably good for a first bike. I was expecting a different ride. Had they let me test ride it before I bought it I would not have bought it. If I were you I would look into something like a Suzuki SV650. That’s a street only bike, but proven reliability. It’s plenty fast for a new rider and the power is easily handled as well. And it’s cheap. If you get a CRF300 you will be wanting something with more power for traffic in no time. Not to mention a light weight bike like a CRF300 can be terrifying for a new rider on the highway. You get blown all over the highway because it’s tall and very light. The center of gravity will have you teeter tottering in the wind and that will make you not want to ride it on windy days.
@@Nine_883 Hi there.. Ive had some scepticism on the rather low cc too. I bet you have a valid point in regards of wind too. Will keep that in mind. Thx for the consideration I actually did my license on the sv650 and absolutely loved it. However, Ive been long-distance bicycle travelling a lot for a decade and so and seek to take it further on a MC. So I need something that´ll be reliable on gravel roads and taking to a forest for camping etc. I know this bike might not be the most exciting on the highway but on the other hand ADVs often seem a bit heavy and pricy. Thought about short-term renting some different bikes throughtout the year before deciding
In the same way a new puppy helps relieve the pain of losing a beloved dog, this 300 might help me get over the guilt of letting my WR250R go to another home.
I ride (tour) a BMW1200GS. Absolutely love it. Just bought Christmas 300L so i could stay profecient, ride daily...700 trail miles since Christmas day and i absolutely have fallen in love with this bike. Going to buy another so friends can go with.
I saw all the videos that are actually availlable on line about the magic Honda CRF 300 L; so far you have done the very best job! Amazing review, complete and professional, amazig landscapes and amazing movie montage. Well done.
I had an XR400R and now have the CRF300L. The XR400R was a better bike especially off-road. The XR250R was a much better bike. I live ten minutes from the TET and with upgraded suspension and tires the CRF300L will take you anywhere you want to go . I only weigh 68 kilos and was constantly bottoming the bike at both ends with the stock suspension.
The wooden sign and the vehicles seen at 8:50 is from a Scout camp I've been a leader at for years, hence the WR on the sign. I had a CRF250L down there in 2023! It truly is some amazing country for exploring. Hint, sometimes the cows are too stubborn to move, but I've found the shrill of a bicycle bell really gets them moving and have had one on every bike after I learned that. Keep up the adventures!
i’ve got the previous generation of the bike - a 2018 crf250L, and it is everything i want in a bike. i grew up on dirt bikes riding trails/gravel roads, so i really wanted a bike that wouldn’t make me give that up. sure, it’s cruising speed is a little low (which is why i’m eyeing the 300 for that small boost in power), but it is incredibly relaxing and freeing to ride, you stop focusing on going fast and can cruise while appreciating the beauty of nature around you, which i think is amazing
Same Honda sound i first heard in 1963 from a Cub 50. 27 HP is same as '62 Superhawk acquired in '68. The 305 was the superbike back then. Reliability go 500+ miles a day rode hard, handled better than most all others.
Great profile of this excellent dual sport! This is one of the motorcycles that just brings back the joy of riding that we all fell in love with to begin with. Bigger, faster and flashier is not always the thing that makes the experience better. This bike reminds me of the Honda 185 I had many years ago that was just a great bike. Your video production is beautifully done. The videography is great with stunning views and the calm narration is tremendous. Overall just flawless, keep up the good work!
Sir, I got introduced to your channel by the algorithm and I'm now subscribed. You're on par with fortnine on cinematography. I wish all the success to you and the channel.
Hello, a really great video! After 35 years, I got back into motorcycling with the CRF 250L. This motorcycle is really a great piece that will stick with you through thick and thin. Easy to drive, good-natured and robust. Thanks to this machine, I found joy in motorcycling again and am now riding the new Benelli TRK 700X. Kind regards from far away Germany.😉🏍
Yeah. Itchy boots went from Patagonia to Alaska on that thing and crossed most of Africa until she fell and broke her collar bone. She put over 50.000km in two years on that bike.
Great video! Just picked my CRF300L up from the dealership today to compliment my Tiger 800 xCx when I want a lighter bike on the dirt roads and trails. I was only able to put 40 miles on it this afternoon, but loving it so far! Obviously not as powerful as the Tiger (which is an awesome bike), but it is 150 pounds lighter!
I've also got the Tiger xcx and thinking of the 300L as a second bike. I'd love to know more details of your thoughts and experience comparing the two and how they may compliment each other. I'm 6.2 and 100kg so I was worried about the bike maybe being too small. I've never ridden the 300L or even seen one in person as they get sold before even landing in the country here in South Africa. Besides being an alternative bike I am hoping to build skill and confidence on the smaller 300 which may translate to my XCX. If you willing to share, I'm all ears.
Hey Brett, I don’t have as much experience on the 300L as the original commenter but I am 6’2” as well and actually found the bike pretty comfortable. You could always add risers if you felt the need but I was pretty comfortable riding it for those two days and and off road. If I owned it I would do stiffer springs first.
I only have about 450 miles on the CRF300L so far versus 7,500 on the Tiger. It definitely took me a few miles just to get used to how differently the much lighter bike handles and reacts to minor inputs. I hadn’t ridden a small bike in over 35 years. I have had it off pavement mostly on dirt roads and forest service roads, so haven’t thoroughly thrashed it but even with my heavier than average weight, it does fine on those types of roads. I was wondering how it would do as a street bike on twisties when I take it to our cabin in the mountains vs the Tiger and I have been pleasantly surprised. While it certainly doesn’t compare to riding the much more powerful Triumph, it is was still extremely fun due to its lightweight and flickability. A buddy met me for a ride on Saturday on his Street Triple and I wasn’t sure I’d be able to keep up with him, but it really wasn’t an issue. I can do a few mph over 70 mph on flat pavement, sitting straight up so never really got left behind on the curves. I am 5’11” and about 30-40 pounds heavier than you and it has been comfortable enough for 2-3 hour rides, but it certainly isn’t as comfortable as my Tiger which I can ride all day without my backside protesting.
Great video! I have driven a a lot of different bikes, in a lot of different environments. I even own bikes in 3 different countries and without a doubt, Honda CRF 300L is my favorite bike ever. I just returned from a 2000km long trip in Thailand with it and had such a blast
Awesome video nice editing. Actually, it’s amazing but not overdone. The production level was more than a CRF deserves.! Can’t wait to get mine. Thanks for being one of the people that pushed me in the direction of this awesome little bike.
I bought a CT125 in 2022. Slow ass bike but you change the sprockets and it’s a hella fun trail bike… buuuut it still lacks considerable power for hills. The CRF is less than $2,000 more and you get so much more. I want one!
Great ride along and commentary. Agree w/ all points. The CRF300 brings the enjoyment of riding back the horsepower wars of the big bikes have taken away. I upgraded forks w/ full cartridge KTech and a KTech rear. World of difference and fully tunable.
This is like a comfy, flat sand/gravel trail bike/dual sport, not a hc enduromonster like a CRF300RX Enduro Special or something (which is over double the price for obvious reasons). So the fact that it can still do that stuff (obviously not as fast) is pretty neat. Just upgrade the suspension if you need to and you got a sweet ride for what its meant for
GREAT Video. I already own a crf300 and that is. A great bike where you find confident to explore, not race. I also own a crf1100 also great bike, but in a different way.
I must say , I did not like your video or editing efforts … I freakin LOVED it and them , I am going to Honda today and getting a CRF , just did a riding refresher course yesterday on a Honda 125 road bike , after 40 years of not riding, just workin …and loved that , it was like I was 17 again …. Your Video and that amazing scenery…. Book me up ❤
The CR250/300L is simply the most under-appreciated bike on TH-cam reviews. I guess they all want faster, more macho machines. But for those of us who just want to get "out there", with minimum pretenses, minimum $$, minimum hassle, and probably minimum skill, this bike shines. Thank you for pointing out it's virtues.
A few years ago i was broke and hit the trail on an old yammie ttr-125. In the parking lot with my work boots, jeans, and battered helmet, i was jealous and a bit ashamed as i unloaded next to some folks setting off in fancy gear with brand new Ktms. But i had a huge grin on my face as i went around them going up a hill a few hundred yards down the trail. I was out there having fun, and that's all that mattered. 😁
One of the best videos about bikes I have ever seen. Fantastic footage. That bike is awesome, light, nimble, reliable and nice to look at. A real dual purpose motorbike that makers do no want to produce... so we might discover that a 25cv/135 kg bike is more capable than a 125cv/250 kg monster.
If there was a button stronger than a like 👍🏼 I would have used it. Such beautiful countryside and such a happy little bike! I’d love to do something like that
The landscape is breathtaking. I would not hesitate to buy one of these if we had sth. similar to ride here in Germany. No offroading allowed anywhere.
I have ridden my CRF300L for over 4000km in two months since I got it, so why do I keep watching reviews of the bike? I love the bike it's so perfect. Just upgraded the gas tank to the larger Acerbis one. Changed to the SeatConcept saddle and larger pegs a while ago, they were excellent upgrades but having Öhlins suspension from the get go seems to have been the right choice. It's such a lovely bike.
Fantastic video I have a CRF300 and this has inspired me to get back on and ride it more. Thank you. And I appreciate how much it takes to create these videos well done!
Amazing Film footage and imagery, very well done 5*****👋You guys have some real adventure landscape there. I just picked up my brand new 2024 CRF 300 I last Friday. Gonna spend the Winter adding around EUR 1000 of mods ready for next year. Agree with you 100% about a smaller Dual Sport Bike... I also have a BMW F800GS but would NEVER trust myself taking on big Offroad adventures, its just too big, too heavy (or I am too small to control it 🤪) Keep up the great work mate!
Great cinematography throughout‼️… keep it up. Really enjoy seeing that you have a lot of great Alberta content & are proving exposure through your experience & lens‼️…. Very much enjoyed the review of the CRF 300 as well as credit to Riley Adventures👍👍👏👏
I've had mine for 6500km and the only complaint is the back suspension, when doing jumps the back will bounce higher than the front and it nose dives , but I've ridden it really hard and still going strong, now I am outgrowing it a bit because of the lack of power but its still a fun bike
Nice video - production value is off the charts! Had no idea parts of Canada looked like that. That shot where the drone is going over the grass by the wind turbines and then the bike comes into the frame, is money.
Awesome video dude, fantastic work with the filming (I know what it takes and you put the time in on this one;) Thinking about pulling the trigger on a 300 Rally or a 300 L, not sure which one yet, but would be looking to drive it across the country potentially and hit the trails.
Hey thanks for the kind words, much appreciated! Either bike will be great, if you’re gonna be doing more highway longer distance I’d probably do the rally, if you’re gonna be doing more off road tighter trail riding the L should be a bit better for ya 👍
I thought you were in Montana or North Dakota, close. Great video! That side of the mountain "goat impression" was jaw-dropping. My son is getting one, I have a 2022 Royal Enfield Himalayan. I might have to get a 300L to keep up with him. Subscribed.
Amazing video - scenery is outstanding and filming! Turned 50 last year and decided to treat myself and bought a bike (after 16 years without one). Bought an inexpensive used Vulcan to get back into riding, but now I so want a dual sport - your vid has pretty much convinced me the CRF300L will be what I'm spending my money. Newly subscribed, keep up the GREAT work!
Awesome video! I love my 300l I have the k-tech suspension on it and it works great, it would soak up almost everything, but one thing to keep in mind is that the seat heights is now 37 inches tall
Holly cow, was this wonderfully cinematic! Watched it with real pleasure! Even more so, being a proud and happy owner of 300L myself. I can totally agree with all your remarks - it may not be a beast, but a wonderfully reliable, confidence-inspiring tool. Wish you many wonderful adventures! Greetings from Poland!
Question!
Would any of you be interested in a riding event put on by Riley and me?
Yes! 💯
Awesome! Good to know 😬
Yes!
I would be. Contact info in my description.

If ya are wanting one ,get it now. Mine I love and do not regret in the least. Yes it's all they say it is. Heck get both .

How does the suspension do with your weight? I'm 6ft 1 about 255. Love the idea of having one of these but feel like I might be too big
@@codykeegan1848 same size and I just bought one and it’s perfect
I have a 250L and boy is it a good bike. Truly can go anywhere and do anything. It fully replaces my dirt bike for anything casual.
This is the greatest crf300 video I've ever seen.
Respect from thailand.🙇♂️
Wow! Thanks so much from Canada!
Agreed 💪🫶
CRF and KLX 300s are in a league of their own.
I like the KLX for the suspension, but both bikes are on top of their game in the price range.
Got my license few days ago. Thrilled about getting my first bike to go travel. Any CRF seems like just what I need and can afford.

But i had a huge grin on my face as i went around them going up a hill a few hundred yards down the trail. I was out there having fun, and that's all that mattered. 😁
Beautiful videography. Thank you for taking us along on your adventure
Thank you for watching!
1st time viewing your channel. Really high quality production
Thank you!
Great video buddy. You really got some fantastic footage of AB. Especially the drone flybys of the wind farms. Great job!
Thanks so much, that part of the country is really beautiful
That scenery is unreal! I gotta make it up north on the bike next season for sure! Great video dude!
Heck yeah let’s ride!!
One of the best videos about bikes I have ever seen. Fantastic footage. That bike is awesome, light, nimble, reliable and nice to look at. A real dual purpose motorbike that makers do no want to produce... so we might discover that a 25cv/135 kg bike is more capable than a 125cv/250 kg monster.
🏍❤😃👍👍👍👍
Another video that was a pleasure to watch, The little Honda looks like a blast to ride! Keep up the hours in the editing room!!!
Appreciate that Troy! The little Crf was a good time man!
If there was a button stronger than a like 👍🏼 I would have used it. Such beautiful countryside and such a happy little bike! I’d love to do something like that
Good video! When it's cold in the North East you sit at home and fantasize about riding different bikes.
I hear that! It’s currently -45f here in Alberta Canada and boy oh boy am I imagining anything but this
Ps love the TH-cam name haha
@@rangeroadmoto haha thanks! I'll ride a hip bike sooner or later. Until then it's 250s through the trails.
Beautiful footage, great video. Thanks. As an American visitor, I have enjoyed the Alberta landscapes very much.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Yeah Alberta gets overlooked by a lot of people but I do love it here. Thanks for watching
“Feels so smooth” says me on EVERY other bike I’ve tried since owning the 500.
I know! It really made everything else feel like riding in a Bently
Great video. Beautiful country ❤
The landscape is breathtaking. I would not hesitate to buy one of these if we had sth. similar to ride here in Germany. No offroading allowed anywhere.
Really?
I have ridden my CRF300L for over 4000km in two months since I got it, so why do I keep watching reviews of the bike? I love the bike it's so perfect.
Just upgraded the gas tank to the larger Acerbis one. Changed to the SeatConcept saddle and larger pegs a while ago, they were excellent upgrades but having Öhlins suspension from the get go seems to have been the right choice. It's such a lovely bike.
Fantastic video I have a CRF300 and this has inspired me to get back on and ride it more. Thank you. And I appreciate how much it takes to create these videos well done!
Amazing Film footage and imagery, very well done 5*****👋You guys have some real adventure landscape there. I just picked up my brand new 2024 CRF 300 I last Friday. Gonna spend the Winter adding around EUR 1000 of mods ready for next year. Agree with you 100% about a smaller Dual Sport Bike... I also have a BMW F800GS but would NEVER trust myself taking on big Offroad adventures, its just too big, too heavy (or I am too small to control it 🤪) Keep up the great work mate!
Great cinematography throughout‼️… keep it up. Really enjoy seeing that you have a lot of great Alberta content & are proving exposure through your experience & lens‼️…. Very much enjoyed the review of the CRF 300 as well as credit to Riley Adventures👍👍👏👏
I agree 100% Jason!
Fantastic case for the wonderful little 300! Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you :D
A very nice presentation. Thanks.
Amazing video, I am about to pick this bike up. Looks like a good buy.
best quality bike review ive seen. good job
I've had mine for 6500km and the only complaint is the back suspension, when doing jumps the back will bounce higher than the front and it nose dives , but I've ridden it really hard and still going strong, now I am outgrowing it a bit because of the lack of power but its still a fun bike
Fabulous scenery and disarming humor. Thanks for the ride, Blake.
Nice video - production value is off the charts! Had no idea parts of Canada looked like that. That shot where the drone is going over the grass by the wind turbines and then the bike comes into the frame, is money.
Best bike video ever seen 🎉
Wow! Thank you!
Excellent video! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Real smart passing someone on the left when they are turning...
Are you referencing the car that went over as far as possible to let us by after we had been following it for a while?
Shopping bikes right now, and this is slowly showing itself to be everything I'm looking for in a "forever bike".
Awesome video dude, fantastic work with the filming (I know what it takes and you put the time in on this one;) Thinking about pulling the trigger on a 300 Rally or a 300 L, not sure which one yet, but would be looking to drive it across the country potentially and hit the trails.
Hey thanks for the kind words, much appreciated!
Either bike will be great, if you’re gonna be doing more highway longer distance I’d probably do the rally, if you’re gonna be doing more off road tighter trail riding the L should be a bit better for ya 👍
@@rangeroadmoto sounds good thanks dude!
Awesome job and great info.
Might have to watch again!!! Ty so much for sharing.
Thanks so much for watching!
Great job on this video. I'm thinking about this Honda for my next bike (Rally version). Thanks for the review!
This new Honda Jewel classic design is awesome! I hope it is coming to the US because I want to buy it!
I thought you were in Montana or North Dakota, close. Great video! That side of the mountain "goat impression" was jaw-dropping. My son is getting one, I have a 2022 Royal Enfield Himalayan. I might have to get a 300L to keep up with him. Subscribed.
Amazing video - scenery is outstanding and filming! Turned 50 last year and decided to treat myself and bought a bike (after 16 years without one). Bought an inexpensive used Vulcan to get back into riding, but now I so want a dual sport - your vid has pretty much convinced me the CRF300L will be what I'm spending my money. Newly subscribed, keep up the GREAT work!
That’s awesome! Dual sporting is so much fun, really opens up a whole new world. Enjoy! And thanks for subscribing :)
made truly in the honda spirit. it doesn't do a particularly amazing job. but it does. it always does
Certainly the best filmed dual sport vid I have seen. Yeah...its a commercial. But well done. And the CRF looks like a great mc
I appreciate that man 👍
Very beautifully shot and edited video! Such beautiful country!
Awesome video! I love my 300l I have the k-tech suspension on it and it works great, it would soak up almost everything, but one thing to keep in mind is that the seat heights is now 37 inches tall
Why didn’t you get the short shock?
I bought my 300l pre-owned and it came with the k-tech suspension already on it
@@ferkuzuel ah, gotcha. You probably got a good deal then...
are the front shocks stock?
@@foaley77 it has a k-tech spring in the front
Great video, I bought one of the last 250L’s and love it! It has taken me places I would have never found on a bigger bike.
It’s true, these small bikes will go almost anywhere!
Holly cow, was this wonderfully cinematic! Watched it with real pleasure!
Even more so, being a proud and happy owner of 300L myself. I can totally agree with all your remarks - it may not be a beast, but a wonderfully reliable, confidence-inspiring tool.
Wish you many wonderful adventures!
Greetings from Poland!
Thanks for all the kind words! Is there good off road riding in Poland?
I laughed when you mentioned the horn/signal mix up. My CBF1000 has the opposite layout to my CRF300 and it drives me insane!
Do the throttle mod sequence on these and the drive even nicer, adjust the rear spring tensioner right up gives you a bit more wiggle room as well
Perfect bike
Beautiful video! Makes me want to visit Canada! 😀
You should!
Great vid, beautiful filming and a good insight into the 300L
Absolutely incredible video! Subscribing now! I want this bike! 🤩
wow, this was awesome to watch
Beautiful country well filmed:)
Yeah this part of the country is amazing. Thanks for watching!
