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.

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.
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!
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.😉🏍
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 😁
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 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.
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 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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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
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!
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.
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’m seriously considering one of these after a couple year hiatus from bikes, and it’s great to hear a perspective that differs from the spec-sheet comparison videos saying it’s not as good as “abc” bike. Thank you sir!
Thanks for the great video 🙏, I got my crf300l about 3 weeks ago coming from a 1000cc 2017 FZ10 and I'm actually enjoying it more😅 , I've experienced everything you said in the video and got it for the same reasons, I can totally relate, this bike is so nice to just hop on and zip around everywhere. Keep up the good work 👍 Cheers !!🤘😄
Just so happens I Bought my CRF 300L today, this video was so so perfect and timely to watch. keep it up! and the bike is so fun, I ride also a 2018 S1000R so this small CC bikes are still the best.
Awesome video! Pacing along with videography and writing was very well done :) If there were any trails in my area this bike would definitely be at the top of my list.
Great video….after the motocross days of my youth, I bought an XR250 to ride on trails. This video put into words exactly my experience with that bike and the simple fun I had on it. I learned you can ride a slow bike fast easier than a fast bike slow. I took a lot of trash talk on it from buddies when we rode ( who started a lawn mower yuk yuk yuk ) I did had a top three finish in an enduro on her. I am concerned about the power on the 300 but this inspired me to take a second look next to the DRZ

I have one and love it! Came from riding sport bikes if that matters.. lol
i have the same engine on my cb300r (just with few extra hp at high RPMs), nice little engine, quite responsive and very very low consumption

Thats a small price to pay for getting your youth back!
At 67 I love my CRF300L ! It is a nimble little bike! 6FT4 245!
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

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.

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.

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!
Very beautifully shot and edited video! Such beautiful country!
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.
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
Great vid, beautiful filming and a good insight into the 300L
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
I laughed when you mentioned the horn/signal mix up. My CBF1000 has the opposite layout to my CRF300 and it drives me insane!
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.
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
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
Thanks for the great Canadian review. Nice bike, beautiful country.
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to post
Oh thank YOU for watching! Really appreciate the kind words
very nicely done chaps, nice flow, great scenery. Mellow vibe just like the Honda...yo from NZ
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?
CRF300 the best on rough and smoothie rides
Great video. Appreciate the bike review and the scenery.
best quality bike review ive seen. good job
With scenery like that, the bike becomes secondary!
You’re not wrong! I could gladly ride any bike through that area.
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?
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.
Outstanding perspective on the Honda and its capabilities. Thank you for sharing! :)
Beautiful video!
What you describe of the riding experience reminds me of when I was a kid riding my Honda xr80 after school.
I think that’s a perfect description!
Great job, entertaining, quality work, thanks !
Thank you for watching!
What a fantastic video 📹 thoughtful contribution and opinion. Also the beautiful scenery and well crafted video and vo. A marvel. Thank you so much.
I’m seriously considering one of these after a couple year hiatus from bikes, and it’s great to hear a perspective that differs from the spec-sheet comparison videos saying it’s not as good as “abc” bike. Thank you sir!
Beautiful cinematography and story-telling!
Thanks for the great video 🙏, I got my crf300l about 3 weeks ago coming from a 1000cc 2017 FZ10 and I'm actually enjoying it more😅 , I've experienced everything you said in the video and got it for the same reasons, I can totally relate, this bike is so nice to just hop on and zip around everywhere. Keep up the good work 👍 Cheers !!🤘😄
Just so happens I Bought my CRF 300L today, this video was so so perfect and timely to watch. keep it up! and the bike is so fun, I ride also a 2018 S1000R so this small CC bikes are still the best.
As always, the video was just like a sunday morning cartoon, and i loved every second of it 😊
Thank you so much Wolfgang! I hope you had your favourite bowl of cereal to go along with it
Awesome video! Pacing along with videography and writing was very well done :) If there were any trails in my area this bike would definitely be at the top of my list.
Very enjoyable! I’m still blasting about on my 96 XR250R, but one of my sons has a CFR and it is pretty much what you describe in this video.
This new Honda Jewel classic design is awesome! I hope it is coming to the US because I want to buy it!
Great video excellent review. Can't wait to see your Kove 450 video you mentioned, I am loving mine
Great video….after the motocross days of my youth, I bought an XR250 to ride on trails. This video put into words exactly my experience with that bike and the simple fun I had on it. I learned you can ride a slow bike fast easier than a fast bike slow. I took a lot of trash talk on it from buddies when we rode ( who started a lawn mower yuk yuk yuk ) I did had a top three finish in an enduro on her. I am concerned about the power on the 300 but this inspired me to take a second look next to the DRZ
The twenty seconds of footage that begins at 1:25 really gets your gears going 🤩-makes you think I WANT-great video
Ordered One few months ago, had a call from Honda yesterday they said I can pick it up in two weeks time. I’m so excited.
Ah ha, you made the Honda beep. I own multiple bikes, and the Honda beep still gets me sometimes.
Glad I’m not the only one 😄
great vid - maybe one day i get across the water to canada and get in touch with riley
This was calming to watch
That’s nice to hear :)
