I made a boo boo. The wheelbase is the same for both the L & Rally. Carry on!

Hopefully this answers some of your questions about the Honda CRF300L. If you have more let me know below and I will try and address them in my review to come 👍 Shiny side up!

I'm a newbie. I appreciate your willingness to share your falls and mistakes. I have many of them myself.

No need to apologize for the length of the video--great questions by the viewers, and anyone who is considering either the 300l or the Rally will find this incredibly helpful in making their decision. Seems like an excellent all-around bike, and with some tweaks to the suspension, good bash plate, hand guards, etc., it's only going to be better and more enjoyable to ride. I look forward to your future content with this bike! Great job.

Chronicles of Solid - 2 big items (non-removable sub-frame) and the suspension. The non-removable subframe makes maintenance (like greasing suspension removing the rear shock). Plus the air box if one needs to remove a jig-saw puzzle of contortions. Compared to the Honda 250 - the sub-frame is a huge sinker.

Hey buddy, you have been through a lot of health issues over the past few months. Please take it easy & don’t test your extreme enduro desire & keep it a lot safer on your self. Remember it is super fun just to ride on dirt roads & nice single track. Please don’t push yourself. You should ride to have fun & not to hurt yourself. We need you healthy, happy & creating the great videos & shots that we your video fans keep tuning in to see. I am especially looking forward to the upgrades you make to your unicorn. Again, stay safe & have fun doing it!!!!

Awesome. I’m really looking forward to your journey on this bike. By the time I get my insanely covid delayed grown up licence, you’ll have shared a wealth of experience with us all, and I’ll be in a much better position to make a buying decision

As with any factory spoked wheels ADJUST YOUR SPOKE TENSION!! Proper tension will radically reduce vibration and really help your back and bottom. Factory tension is always wrong always.

I have owned a heap of bikes including a Honda VFR 1200 crosstourer which I swapped out for a DR650. Also have the CRF250L which I absolutely love, it really is my go to bike. Its reliable and cheap to run and handling feels great. Next bike will be the 300L for sure. Excellent choice bro !!

[Chris_Z.]

Great explanation[s] of the decision to purchase. Can't wait for the Mod videos to start.

Hi great review. I went the other way from a 2017 259 L, fully tricked out with race tech suspension fuel programmer and exhaust to a low miles WR. The WR had full exhaust and fuel programmer on it as well. The WR feels more cold blooded and does not nearly run as smooth as butter like to 250 L did. The rear shock on the WR need some work as it bucks you off the bike on certain jumps. All I wanted to say is there’s a lot of spec sheet shopping going on. In real world the difference was quite small between the 250 L fully done up and a WR.

[dustincookson]

Thanks for answering my question! And I own the KLX300 and my dad has the KLX250. Practically same bike, the KLX300 feels like a KLX250 with stage 1 mods

[baymoto]

Thanks Solid for another very informative and heart felt video. Here in Texas these things are sold before they hit the showroom floor. I have yet to see one in captivity. Enjoy

[RidersInBlack]

Congrats on the bike solid. The most important thing you said at the end of your video, is that you have a connection with the bike. That pretty much sums it up. Looking forward to more videos and changes to that beautiful machine.

Just bought my second CRF 300 L (11/3/2021)out the door for $5578.19 /with ABS. Bought from Southern Honda in Chattanooga TN. No transportation or dealer prep charges ever. They seem to have inventory where my local dealers did not. I had to wait 2 days for the Rally and two weeks for the 300L, did not want ABS but it was all they had to offer. I do have to pay Florida taxes when I tag it.

Just coming up for the first service on my CRF 300 .
Loving this bike , the engine is getting sweeter with every mile .
Fitting Renthal gold bars, Acerbis hand guards and Acerbis plastic skid plate .
YSS rear shock and fork spring upgrade.
Had a F850 GS too much bike for my skill set and old hips and knees so learning to ride off-road on this little 300 is far more fun and manageable.
All the best from the UK .😁🇬🇧🏍

@5:59 Unless, you'd need a larger tank and would have no sensible options of retrofitting LED headlights like in kraut country. This is due to the lack of availability of road legal LED headlights or LED headlights at all and/or the cost prohibitive way of getting them road legal. :)

I called Honda Powersports Chattanooga TN 9/28/2001 looking for the 2021 CRF300L Rally. Was told two to three months wait. They called next day and delivered it to me 9/30/2021. I saved $1700 over another dealer in GA. No dealer fees, no delivery fees. MSRP and $30 administrative fee only. I called 10 other dealers and no one had one of these in stock and did not know when they would get one. My salesman was Gus and very pleased with this purchase/service by dealer.

[onthepegs]

Bro, wheelbase is the same for L/Rally on all websites.

[miyrides]

For me the 300L just looks better then the rally

[NorthernNBAdventure]

Little late to the party but have been watching your videos on the CRF300l....im picking up my new 2024 CRFl next wait 👊✊💨
