They make quite a few after market windshields for the 300L. Most of my commute is 55-60. Only a few exits of 70. Your video told me exactly what I needed. Thank you

I agree with your comments completely. I own a 2014 KLX 250s & cross winds on open blacktop roads are deadly & can take you into oncoming traffic. It’s a great bike for anything but open highway, even secondary highways aren’t great for long distance. I’m 160 lbs & 74 yrs, been riding since I was 16 yrs

These bikes are a prime example of riding a slow bike fast. We all know they’re not meant for highway but will get you where you need to go

Should have shown the entrance ramps on the lodge in Detroit. Cool bike, good video from a fellow Detroit guy.

Just bought a Ls, not trying to go on the highway, but definitely back roads so I can get to some trails.

I tested the Rally last sepember and hated the wind against my helmet. My naked bike has not wind protection like the L so, i started to think in the L. In my bike I receive the wind against my chest but not against my helmet. How it is with the L? Goes the wind against the chest or hit the helmet too? Thnx for your answer
Sorry for asking what you already talked about 5:43

Removing that tail end, the Seat and the bars were the first to get replaced. Agreed, the Seat was BAD...SC far better on the arse! The bike wasn't built to be traveling highway speeds for long shots...As others have proven it can be done...I wouldn't spend hours on a freeway with it. A couple of exits is enough for me, at top speed depending on the wind you can really get thrown around...Tire, suspension set up could probably improve the stability.

55 mph is it for me and that’s with tires inflated to 22 psi. More speed is just too edgy mentally. Two hours of highway wears me out and I suspect a 5 hour trip by car would take about 8 hours on this bike. That sort of adventure would certainly require a Holiday Inn Express overnight rest. Nevertheless I want to ride my 300L from Louisville Kentucky to Harlan County Kentucky to explore some fire trails and coal mining roads.

[MillerTimeMoto]

I really like your videos! I got pro taper contour bars and acerbis x factor hand gaurds after seeing your upgrade video. One question, what phone mount are you using?

[Caterpillar]

How does gas consumption (MPG) look like on the highway?

[randomgirl-ljxi]

Bugger, I really want a dual aport i can ride to the trails nut its a 40 min to 1 hour highway ride just to get to them. I think im going to have to get an adventure bike even though what i really want is a light bike to comfortably thrash and pick up myself. I used to ride 2 up with ny ex on my klx250 sf on highway its ok in short bursts

[TacoGaming]

Are you still running the stock gearing? Took my 250L on the highway for a couple exits the other day and it was miserable having a 13T sprocket up front. I'm honestly considering going back to a 14T but don't want to hurt what little dirt performance this bike has lol

[wickedleeloopy]

😮 I had an XT350 With roughly the same power 28 hp that would do 85 mph . That's odd

[JeremyDovin]

Do you personally think an Xr650L is better than a crf300L?

[MM-igiv]

The rally or this would be nice but I don't want to wait 8 months to get the bike!? Ridiculous

[tymobyrne]

For the highway I got my 300L a 6x12 cargo trailer to ride
