I am taking delivery of my CFR300L in a few weeks.... am very excited! I liked how you showed the bike with you on it.... I'm about your size and was a little concerned it would be too tall for me, but it looks manageable. Thanks for the video!

I didn’t want to mess with sprocket mods until I finished the performance mods. After ECU, air box mod, and exhaust, I decided to play around with sprockets. My bike topped out at 81mph stock, and with a 42T rear sprocket, and all the performance mods, it still does 81mph. But now I can pulll the front wheel without having to grab a handful of clutch. Which was surprising. I’m leaving like this. I’m super happy with the power. Plus I don’t want to lose any top end. I miss my soft suspension on the road, but it’s much more capable off road with the suspension upgrades. All in all, I think the ECU flash was the mod that gave me the most bang for my buck. And I’m not claiming a crazy power increase, which is about 18-20%, but the power management is also what the ECU offers. More linear and smoother power delivery.

Nice review. I just picked up a 2024 for $6300 out the door. Still doing the break-in but so far I've been having a good time on this little bike. I'm a little heavier so a suspension upgrade for me is probably going to be first but I'm quite surprised at how functional it is when just cruising around. Even on harder, rocky terrain it did quite well. Still too much snow up here in the Cascades but looking forward to getting farther out when it warms up a bit. Ride safe!

Where do you live.. It's beautiful there. Also your price for the bike was outstanding! I paid more 🤔

Nice review. I want the LS, can't find them available anywhere.

Just bought a 2024 ford 5200 out the door as my first bike

Nice review. Appreciate your time and effort. A few questions maybe you or one of your viewers can answer:
If you've ridden a Yamaha XT250 or a supermoto, how does the crf 300L compare? I have an XT now, but am considering moving to a 300L or a SuMo (The Honda 450 dual sport would be ideal, but it's a high bike for me at 5'7" -- that bike is tip toe arena for me.) I know the Honda 300L has a higher ride height than the XT250 and is a bit heavier (no radiator on the XT). What is the 300L's top speed? Easy to pull wheelies? Thanks in advance.

Australian models are all LED. We don't receive any bikes or even cars as of 2023/4 that have incandescent lamps as these have been banned from use here. Every car and bike is 100% LED for everything in them. Cheers.

Hey mate! Nice review! I have a question please. I am getting mine next week and want to order a travel bag. Thing is that i can not decide wether to order the XL or L version. It would all depend on the space i would have on the seat. Could you be so kind and measure the lenght from the strap in the middle of the seat to the rear light please? That would help me alot! Thank you so much in advance! Greets!

My only criticism is that Honda are making these along with a lot of their range in Thailand now and this is obvious when you look at them very closely.

So I just picked up my '24 a week ago and I can't find out if I can use the same oil filter and cover gasket as the 2023 models... What have you used as far as oil and gaskets?

[GoranSoldo-gwss]

I've been waiting for my red baby for over 4 months, shame...

These don't come alive before 3k miles and a couple mods.
