2021 Honda CRF300L Rally Ride & Review

Riding a 2021 Honda CRF300l Rally ABS with 1 mile on the odometer! Here's my first ride review of it, see what I think as I put the first miles on this bike.

Good review but om top love the fact that you did include engine sound rather than some kind of background music!

Im finding the large majority of owners are very happy with this bike from the reviews ive watched.Im torn between the DRZ400 and this as my next upgrade.Im running TW 200 now.My problem isI like ALL bikes.

Super fun watching this. I’d love to watch another updated review from you or your dad now that it’s been a few months.

I’ve had mine for a couple months now and agree with your comments completely. The brakes smell horrible the first week but it goes away. Aluminum bar with soft grips and a 2” riser along with Zeta guards and foot pegs makes the bike much better off road. The ABS off mode turns off the rear only
The display is far better than anything else in the class including Honda’s 450L and you appreciate the placement on the Rally for any extended road work
This bike is way more fun than my Tiger 900 and if Honda makes a 450/500 version the Triumph will be traded.

After watching Itchy boots I was inspired by her and decided I should get a Honda Rally . After 2 months waiting I got mine very nice moto I very happy with this motorcycle.

Loved the review, you are very easy to listen to. I just sold my wr fortunately for more than what I paid for it, I have a deposit on the Honda 300 rally and hopefully picking it up next month.
After watching your review I feel it’s exactly the bike I’m looking for. Loved your review, Cheers Matt.

Hard break ins are the actual best way to seat the piston rings. Manufacturers can’t tell you that because of law suits. The manufacturer on first start up warm the bike up then put it on a dyno, it’s even on YouTube.

I have a CRF 300 L on order, but will be using it as a off road bike have the KTM 390 Adventure for the road and dirt and gravel roads, but want more ground clearance and lighter ( it is around 65 lb. than the KTM) for the gnarly off road but want to be able to ride to the trails. Will be going with the ABS as you can turn it off when you want, but for the riding I do will leave it on as at 72 do not want to race around just take it easy, When you change your tires and are going to do road as well as off road try the Dunlop TrailMax Mission, have them on my KTM and DR650 they do the job on and off road unless you get in to the really gnarly stuff. I am putting on Dunlop D 606 rear and Pirelli MT.21 front as it will be 90% off road the only road it will see is to and from the trails. On my KTM 390 Adventure I have over 7, 600 Km and the rear tire is only down 1mm ( 1/32" ) and new it is 10 mm so looking at close to 20, 000 on these 50/50 tires. If you can get your hands on a L model would nice to see a side by side review. I am told it is about 30 lb lighter and suspension feel better off road.

Excellent start to your reviewing the Rally over time. I can't wait to see the next video, hopefully with some good off road tests!

I have CRF250L Rally 2019 and she is very good. I installated Delkevic exhaust without spark arrestor and removed the metal plate from air filter. Mitas tires from Czech Republic are the best.

The high beam indicator warning lamp works well too! 😉

[rainman]

Lugging or revving the engine during break in is generally not the best idea lol. At least wait until after the first oil change.

Got here from your CT90 vids. Subscribed & hope you'll make some content soon! You're awesome, dude!

Being a 250 rally owner and a Xt owner they are a major difference between the two, almost unfair to compare it to the Xt, especially the 300 to the Xt if the 300 is said yo be better than the 250 rally. I do think the air cooled, lighter Xt is better off road.

[sergeantshelby]

Did you zip tie the brake wire on top? Or did it come that way? Because the non rally version brake wires flop around

[waylonswaycraps]

Those things look like a body builder who skips leg day with them skinny ass tires !😂😂😂

[FernitoAM]

Hi mate, I take you are from USA? It is mind blowing how similar that landscape, trees, dirt rocks...are to my hometown in Central/West Spain. Which part of the states is this?

[badbd]

Any sort of eta on the long term review?

[anthonyadams]

I can’t tell by the videos if there is any noticeable difference between the 300 and 250.

Great review, great ride. A tad rough on the revs for break-in in my opinion. I would have run the engine up and down on revs a bit more. I must say that I like my Honda CRF 300L very much. I also own a Kawasaki X300 Versys that is a highly refined and much more powerful bike than the CRF 300L Honda. My Versys has a twin cylinder 40 HP engine compared to the Honda's single cylinder 27HP engine. But both motorcycles are a blast to own and ride. I could not ask for a better pair of motorcycles!
