Honda CRF300L Rally: Where the dirt ends and road begins, the CRF300L Rally is waiting to bring adventure bike capability to your everyday commute. The nimble design and plentiful low-end power combine with smart features for an ideal transportation solution through busy streets and bumpy trails. The bodywork is inspired by Dakar Rally racebikes, which means it looks as good as it performs. The tall windscreen provides solid protection against the elements. And the long motocross-style seat gives you all-day comfort and allows you to easily move around in the saddle. If you have a dual sport that’s even lighter and more affordable in mind, make sure you check out our honda CRF300L.

Honda CRF300L:
Balance is the key when riding any motorcycle. And we’re not talking about just balancing on two wheels: We’re talking about the balance between size, weight, power and handling that makes some bikes great—like the new Honda CRF300L. Based on our previous CRF250L, for 2021, it gets a larger engine with more torque and a whole host of chassis and suspension refinements. What you end up with is one of the best-balanced bikes ever for on- and off-road use. Perfect for weekend trail rides, it’s also among the best choices ever for commuting or urban transportation. And if you’re looking for a version with a windscreen and Dakar-inspired bodywork for a little more weather protection, make sure you check out our new CRF300L Rally.

Yamaha Tenere 700:
The Yamaha Ténéré 700 is a midsize adventure/dual-sport motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha since 2019. It features a 689 cc (42.0 cu in) parallel-twin engine which powers the motorcycle through a six-speed gearbox and chain drive. Brakes are equipped with rider-switchable (on-off) ABS. The "baby Ténéré" is the latest in a series of dual-sport Yamaha motorcycles named after the Ténéré desert stage of the Dakar Rally in the Sahara. The successor to Yamaha's XT660Z Ténéré was first announced as the T7 concept at the 2016 EICMA with an anticipated production launch in 2018. A refined concept was publicized a year later.
Yamaha announced that delivery of bikes would begin in Europe in July 2019, and only the following year to the USA due to emissions and other regulatory delays. The liquid-cooled 4-stroke 8-valve DOHC engine with crossplane crankshaft was already in use and well reviewed in Yamaha's MT-07 naked and Tracer 700 sport touring bikes.

Thanks for watching Motorcycles Offroad

I just got my first motorcycle at age 53 and I got the 2007 dr650 and I’m so happy I did…. Great vid thanks

[superhurricane]

drz400e is street legal in australia has been for 23yrs. 48hp 30 lb/ft 138kg wet weight.
best suspension out of your lineup by a huge margin, best build quality and parts specs.
best allrounder actually fun to ride in the bush and capable of hard enduro, yet still thrives on long distance adv rides and is suitable for daily commuting.
even if the s model was the only choice, i'd still choose that over the rest.

I’ve got a dr200 that I bought from my brother since he upgraded to a CRF300l. Have a cross country trip in about a year so now I’m looking at upgrading! Trying to decide between all of those and what I can get for a decent price! Right now a crf250l seems pretty high on the list! Great information!

[TJ-oiqe]

I had the WR 250, as hard as I tried I just couldn’t get along with that bike. Sold it and I now have the mighty Dr and love it. The Dr is so much better on road and though it’s a little heavier than the wr with the needed suspension tuning I consider it better off road as well.

Finally got my 23 CRF 300L Rally a month ago.... ummm, AMAZING!

[HarrisChapman-xioq]

Great Video! Listening to You,
Reminds me of 50 years ago. Yes i was the only dirt bike mechanic not at a dealership

[ShadowStrikerz]

Dr650 owner here. The reason the dr is the better bike over the drz is simply the absolute tractor factor it has. Went hard singtraxking with a group of full enduro bikes and they are slipping and sliding trying to get theough where the dr just drives over it like its nothing with minimal fuss :D

[mdh]

have recently become a dr fan-boy... for me a perfect lightweight adventure bike with a few mods, which still are very affordable in comparison for an average joe like me... plus its very easy to work on, and learn on that experienced riders can still enjoy

[jasonsliger]

I like all of them! Lol I currently don't own one and new so have a decision to make!

[armored-clown]

I know it’s been said a million times but Suzuki really needs to refresh the DRZ400 with fuel injection and six speeds. I loved my DRZ but carburetors are complete ass for me because I deal with long winters and travel all over the western US at different altitudes to go riding offroad.

[windrider]

Nice video, I'm an older guy with health problems thinking about a 200cc to 300cc bike. I've not riden since around 1995 or so.

[gabrielkopp]

Still cant fet the Honda 300l rally or the 300l on the west coast but you get the klx300 and both the suzuki drz400s and the dr650 new.. back when both the Honda and kawasaki 300s came out i couldn't get so i ended up with a bran spanking new 2020 wr250r possibly the very last one lol

[thespeedofchillax]

the new styling of the 2024 klx 300 has made it the best out of the japanese bikes, imo ... a quick addendum, i have been looking to buy a dual sport for a while and actually recently decided on a chinese bike, over a japanese one and that us because the lifan kpx 250, imo, is on par with the japanese offerings ... anyway, thx for the vid.

[HoagMurkula]

Just traded my shitbike kz1100 for a klr250. Im in love with dual sports now

[KentwoodWarrior]

Interested in picking up an XT250 as a second bike to go with my WR250R

[DesertX_horse]

Which one is the best DR650 or the Honda Rally..?

[Daverazzi]

Hey I don’t live to far away from you and I just recently picked up a all stock Suzuki DR650 if you ever wanted to compare mine to yours. I live in Bucks county PA and as a kid used to ride my dirt bike in the pine barrens.

[crypticreality]

I prefer the DR650 to the DR-Z for long travel but, the DR-Z is a better ripper and it's liquid cooled. Plus, i may trade my XT for one +$500 so i may learn to love the DR-Z.

[garrettjohnson]

Xt225 had a 6 speed while the xt250 has a 5 speed so the xt225 was a better bike for the trails imo. The wr was a great bike but expensive for a 250 and we all know it’s the price point that sells bikes

[DoggoWillink]

Does anyone know the seat height differences among the brands and bikes? Like which ones are lower?

I haven’t ridden in some years, my last bike was a KTM 125 Sx, and that bike was really tall to me. I cut all of the foam out of the seat because I’m a little 5’7” (30” inseam) dude and it can be annoying when you’re in sand and trying to start your bike up again when it’s a very tall seat, for example (plus, real riding boots as you know are very rigid at the ankle so you really aren’t able to bend it too much). I’ve seen some older 250s my friends had that had lower seats and I never really knew why, I just assumed it was a particular trait of each model/brand.

I suppose I should Google it. I’m going to buy a dual sport one day, just waiting until I buy my first home where I have the space to store it.
