Why you should NOT buy the CRF450RL

When the CRF450L was announced, it was a dream come true for many of us riders. With the current Dual Sport lineup looking pretty dry and boring at least in the Japanese market, the 450L was the answer all of us were looking for. A reliable, powerful dirt bike that was street legal from the factory. So after a year of saving up I finally got my hands on one and here is my story on why you should NOT buy the CRF450L / CRF450RL..

Always love the insight you give in these videos. Just started following after I found you once I bought my CRF300L. Now I’ve watched almost all your vids in a weeks time lol!! Lobe he channel!

Howling at the fly swatter to the face 😂😭

I just clicked on your video because of the title, start watching, and see the stickers I print, and the axle sliders I designed and machined, on your Grom. I'm stoked so see my parts on your bike! Stickers I print on your swingarm too :) Now I am back to watching the rest of the clip

I remember watching your early videos on the 250L and this is the first time I watch a video of yours since that. Man your channel has blown up, and you're really good at narrating and telling a story. Nice work!

Great review. And I agree with most all of it.

I went the route of buying all the extras to dial it in. ECU, exhaust, skid plate, IMS tank, seat concepts, bigger rear sprocket, and I love this bike for single track and technical trail, and blaze to the store for a gallon of milk…
If you throw the recites away before your wife finds them and don’t balance your checkbook it’s easy to spend your hard earned money with impunity.

Dude - You left us hanging with the "Street Bike" incident hints! Looking forward to that story/video sometime! Thanks for sharing your 450L experiences.

Great video hitting all the main points after having a DRZ400s, a Honda 450 R, and two GPX 250s, I finally gave in and bought a 2020 XC300 KTM, best bike ever for the trails and hare scrambles. If I ride the street, I got a 2015 750 GSXS And the two wheel universe is finally at peace.

Why do I love this guy! He is absolutely right about the price and how expensive it is…I liked and subscribed bc hes very relatable.. 💯💪🏽🔥

[cyclerider]

Good points. I almost bought the CRF450L but decided on the CRF300L for similar reasons. Glad to hear you feel the same way. Subscribed!

12:07, "The best option is to own multiple bike....

My wife overheard this, she gave me that pissed off look.

[skexzies]

OMG! Thanks for saving me from a huge financial mistake! I wanted the 450 for exactly the same trail reasons you did.

[steph]

Thank you very much for the honest review. I wish we had more of these review where guys would point out what are the issues they have with their machine instead of listing out the pamphlet features.

[wimmm]

Nice review! Your reaction to the fly just cracked me up. Slapping yourself with that flycatcher.😁Great you kept it in there as part of the video.

“Slow bike fast” is the reason I just downsized from a z900 to a Cb300r, having a lot more fun in it so far for a number of reasons. Also, I think the video where you and your folks bought the four Groms was one of the first ones I watched.

[johnambro]

Probably the best owner review breakdown I've seen in a while. Yes and up here in Canada tach on another two K plus, without mods. Can't see the bike lasting much longer on the market. Will be interested in the three hundred review. Good stuff. Cheers.

[TroyCollier]

Great video.. I had my eye on one with dreams of riding to the moto track and doing some laps on it then ridding home. The fly swatter to the face was the best thing on youtube.

[danberg]

Appreciate the honesty and insight, good content

[randallwhite]

I have the crf 300l and it is awesome at 60 years old. Bigger back sprocket for lower gearing. No stopping this bike.

[michaelm.]

The WR250R is in a pretty good spot amongst dual sports, it’s a shame you never got it. Fingers crossed the WR300R comes out soon.

[kbud]

First time seeing one of your videos. I like the production, editing, and most of all .. the honesty. Well done.
