Hey everyone if you’re interested in seeing the extended version of this review video here is the link to take you over to @dirtbiketest
ua-cam.com/video/VN95qZDe45g/v-deo.html
I never really cared for the term "entry level" I'm sure an experienced rider could really enjoy this bike .thanks for the review ....excellent!
I agree. I just bought one, which will be my third bike, behind a Triumph TT600 and a Ducati Monster 1200R.
This is a whole different level of fun for any experience level rider!
You are a Thinker, Sir.
I had bought one and got kinda annoyed here in Wyoming interstate speed is 80mph and it didn’t like it
@@cliftondugan5295 what was its happy riding speed im in Colorado and thinking about one for cruising through the mountains and trail to fishing holes
@@A-A_Ron89 I have a crf450l. It will cruise highway speed but I can’t power past cars the way I’d like. At 87mph that’s all it’s got
I rode it home 30 miles from the dealer and my rear was bruised, get the seat concepts. I just cruise around the back roads, gravel roads, coal mines and spend the day exploring, hiking, fishing. Its reliable smooth easy to ride great on gas.
@@dickheadbrian Thanks for the tip. I want to buy a new CRF 300 rally and want to travel far away, so will probably get that Corbin seat, too.
Weak ass
It's the most beautiful of all the modern advs. If Honda would make a tenere competetor, it Shou be a 700cc Rally
Sooo true Carlos🤙🏻
ride the KTM 690SMCR and id agree.. 600cc and above is a much more comfortable experience. ive ridden 250's 400's and they are fun but the highway ehhhh.. when you are Adventure riding you sometimes need to make a run down the highway to the next trial.
Im 6'3" and 280 pounds. I've been riding mine 40 miles a day and been getting 60 mph. Power is a bit low. But no problems
with 2021 honda put the 286cc engine and create the crf300l, 10% more power but more important 18% more torque
I know it's 3 years later,but how do you find the vibration through the handlebars at that speed?
Not enough to be a concern
I rode a CRF 250L a few years ago from Montana to Costa Rica. As anyone can probably guess, it was pretty awful in the states and Mexico. When I got to Guatemala, less highway, more cool little roads I started to really enjoy it. When I was doing little shakedown cruises in Montana before I left, it was a real pleasure putting around in the hills. When I actually hit the road with baggage, the already overloaded 250 was hardpressed to hit 65 under the best of conditions. I was wishing for something like the 1000 dollar XR 400 you mention at the beginning of the video. Not the bike's fault that I chose it. I was so used to using smaller bikes in Southeast Asia that I made a poor choice for the roadwork in the states. I wasn't expecting the bike to cruise at 70 but I was expecting it to perform a bit better. And gas mileage of a buzzing 250, no surprise because of the prior experience I mentioned, was painful as I was pulling over so often I rarely passed a motorcycle shop on my way to Washington* without the temptation of going in for a trade in.(yes it was a detour*) I think the 250 is a wonderful dual sport but if one is doing any distance on freeways, which can sometimes be unavoidable, I wouldn't recommend a 250. I know that can seem rather obvious but I travelled around on a YBR 125 in the Andes in Peru and had a load of fun. And I know that I never wished that I had a bigger bike there. (Well...maybe a 250 hihihi) Anyway, great footage! Nice work!
ok i see what your saying, but to get a bike above 250cc with low maintenance intervals you are most likely stuck with a dual sport that still has a carb.
A lot of shit talk on the 250 but you know what a klr650 that’s 40hp is barely any better on the highway
I got my rally back in 2017 and have 30k. I've added a Seat Concepts lifted seat, bar risers, Race Tech spring kit on the forks, EBC heavy clutch and a EJK tuner. With all that she's so much fun.
How many miles does your 250 Rally have now? Any expensive maintenance?
@@perezcp356252 30k is a lot already , I have 8k on mine now , just had to get new tires but nothing except oil changes other than that .
6:51 - 2.7 Gal. Great review. Thanks.
Soooo glad you are on this bike and not the 450L. I bought my 18 Rally new while a 450L was 15 ft away. For some reasons the 450L is better but as a total package, the Rally is tough to beat, especially if you are going to use it as a true dual sport everyday machine. And when tastefully modded it just keeps on getting better. Keep the vids coming!
Completely agree!!!!
Grate job sir . Just the fuel gauge is a winer for me . I dont no why in 2019/2020 they dont put one on every Adventure bike like that and please a bigger gas tank .
02:58 that's really insightful. I think when a bike has power in spades, we tend to solve all our problems with power. But like said, once you get used to what's available, you start to find other solutions to meet the challenges on the road.
Very cool small capacity DS bike. I had a CRF250L a few years ago for about 6 months before I traded in for an NC700X. I usually ride XR650L and XR400R. The only downside I found with the CRF 250L was the rear suspension which seems way undersprung for my 95kg all up weight. Easily fixable with an aftermarket rear shock or doing some work on the rear suspension.
Nice review Mark, it's another solid and excellent bike from Honda. It's so nice to ride on the trails ( I've ridden one) and great value for the money. I just hope that someone at Honda will one day reflect on the pedigree of the mighty XR650R and make a worthy successor!. Riding the 250 it felt so light...but when I take out my XR650R THAT feels light compared to most adventure bikes!. XR650R Rally (with electric start!) please Mr. Honda! Cheers, Steve
Stephen Eldridge XR650L with a plastic tank.
If i were to live in the US, considering the ridiculous speed limits and the crazy amount of back roads and land extention, i would definitely get one of these.
Just watched a vid, “Peru Adventure/2018/BUSH BIKE BOYS/Honda CRF250RALLY”. 2 men on loaded bikes traversing some impressive terrain, 2200km (1367miles) in the Andes. This bike is definitely underrated. I may be biased as l own the L version and know what a great bike it is to ride and own.
The Honda CRF250L; the Swiss Army Knife of dual-sports.
I HAVE A 2013 WITH 41000 MILES THAT I BOUGHT NEW. DRIVE TO WORK 5 DAYS A WEEK GET 65MPG , FAST ENOUGH FOR IN TOWN, LOOKS COOL , BEST BIKE I HAVE EVER HAD! YEs 41000 miles and still running!
Right on✊🏼
How it behaves on the wet roads?
If i buy crf250l, i would do 2 changes: 1.tyres - metzeler 6 days extreme 2. Install shorter gears (by another chain set)
Simply add YSS Rear shock designed for that bike and the race tech front fork upgrade which includes an additional spring and better fork oil, and you have an awesome machine that can handle all-terrain super comfortable. Soaks up all the bumps effortlessly for a superb ride total cost 650
Great review sir, I have liked hondas for some time now and decided to buy the 250L for the price ya can't go past it
Just a note - fuel capacity mention at 6'50" should be 2.7 gallons, or 10 litres. Not 2.7 liters as stated. Great video. Need this bike to be sold in Vietnam please!
One of the best video!
I have 2018 crf250l rally and I agree with you
Beautiful footage, thank you very much! =)
If only the bike had 350-400 cc, it would be the best bike on the market
Mark Aurelius it can just gotta look at swapping some parts from 300r.
I was thinking the same thing, about a Yahama XT350 I owned years ago. That could move considering it was only 100cc more than this.
Mark Aurelius
DRZ400 is cheaper in some markets (including my city).....
@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ not something you wanna ride long distances, at least not in a hot country, believe me
@@andystm and a crf250 is?
I considered this bike but ultimately the price and weight saw me buy a DRZ400E for half the price and twice the grunt and equal reliability.
That's the gee ow,go!
Half? Twice?
Nice Review, I shall go for the CRF250L. I cannot justify the extra money for the Rally
I bought a 2018 and I'd love it
How much more is the rally?
@@Celtics20 I live in Thailand where the CRF250L and CRF250 Rally are manufactured and the price of the CRF250L is 140,000 bt => 4,660 US$ or 3500 GB pounds. Just remember the Rally being a lot more for more plastic panels to get damaged and bigger fuel tank basically.
I have this motorcycle and I love it. Did more than 3000 miles in Rocky Mountains and had a trip to Utah and did some off road for 7 days on stock bike. Can't wait to do some small upgrades next year. I'm a beginner in this bike category, it's my first adventure bike or off road bike ever.
Boom. Glad to hear Milan. 🤙🏻
I am from Nepal. I ride this bike on daily basis as a primary commuter. I have made a travel of around 20,000 kms in this bike on every type of road. Bike just perform owesome. You can ride this bike whole day and you still like to ride more. What a smooth and beautiful bike. Loving it... Ride safe and have fun.......🤙🏽
the tank is 10.1 liters which is 2.64 gal.
It's a great bike for sure. If you're willing to do a couple of mods yourself the CRF250L can be had for a substantial amount less and can easily add a better options for the same price or less.
Absolutely. The CRF 250 rally just took me by surprise on how nice it is and I think you could save more money by going with other models but this just looks nice and futuristic.
Nice review, man. No fluff, just the good stuff.
I'll never understand how honda managed to make a 250 weigh the exact same as a 650L
350lbs is inexcusable. I have experience with the regular 250L model and it's a great little bike but the wr250r outclasses it so much.
Agreed. My ktm 530 weighs about 250 and has twcie the power. I know it was twice the $$ but a 350 lb 250 series bike with what 24hp ? Sounds TIRING in the woods.
Thiwan** lol
I came so close to buying one, but Im a wee-guy. Ended up with a KTM XCW 300 at 220lbs. Shame
@@mtbalot i prefer Suzuki dr 650 same weigh but real power
650 has better lighter material to keep the weight down
WOW MAN!! you are a creative MONSTER!! WHo would have thought that 8 and a half minutes of a droning voice and watching your front fender would be so exquisitely entertaining???
At least I dont have a man bun👍
Thanks man! Just what i was looking for
Love my 250 rally , I have 2 other bikes both 650's and love the rally over them anyday because I had a back injury and the rally treats my back gooder . ( Yeah I said gooder on purpose 😏).
Just bought a 2018 WR250R 857 miles on it for $3650.
More HP, Better suspension than the Honda and a Huge Aftermarket...
Sold me.
Thats a good deal. You scored!
Bruhh where’d you get it? I’m looking for that extact bike same & was looking to pay around the same prices also
look around, also check craigslist and offer up app
When I fall down I want a 250, that KLR650 is heavy when gassed and loaded.
KLRJUNE easier said than done. Things happen
The DR350 or 650 are both excellent and lighter
cant wait til these inevitably hit the used market
They are already out there but most want new prices or they are thrashed real hard with stupid mods or homemade repairs from people who have no business doing such tasks
Thanks for the video. I really think this is the bike for me.
I have had such a motorcycle for several months, my conclusion is heavy low-powered hulking hippo!
Dude, when I see you on the sand road, you forgot to turn ABS OFF !!!! Be careful man, turn that crap off the second you know you go off-road. Great video !
I hate Abs with a passion. 😎
@@bermcannonk you have no idea how much I hate it. Honda has to keep ABS ON automatically during each engine start (due to safety regulations), I forgot to turn it off so many times man. Becomes unsafe as hell !
Imagine if you uncork it. Could turn into a beast. In the end anything is possible with money. I think Honda hit the marks on this one. A friend of mine bought one for his wife.
Yes. Fabian this bike modded would be sick!
Thanks. Great review. Real useful.
Fantastic Review. Ya almost got me wanting one.
Right on Brian thanks for watching
I wish they would have made this a 450 or at least 350. being in Colorado, the crf250L barely hits 70mph. or this would be the ultimate light adventure bike for lower elevation states
I agree will✊🏼
Last year I started riding on a crf250l and went up to Colorado, i was seriously ill equipped, came back a few months back on my KTM 250 XCF and it was a world of a difference, the bike is ok for where I live in Louisiana but the KTM changed the game
How do you only have 7k subscribers. This is a great review.
Because UA-cam doesn’t like me and I look like brad pitt
This Honda with the 600cc xr-dominator will be perfect
If you have Questions on the Crf250L Rally shoot below! Thanks again for watching!
How many miles are you getting out of a full tank ? How much fuel do you have to carry?
Im 5'9, will this bike be too tall for me?
How much for one?
@@yarniekali1563 Just under 3k second hand and 5k new
I see that the rally has more suspension travel, i weigh around 220lbs, would the rally be a better choice over the stock crf250l? this will be my first bike ever. I feel like with my riding habbits from my younger days that i will bottom the suspension out easily.
Come on guys this is just man giving his opinion to help you out. There’s so many different reasons to buy a new bike from money to size to riding terrain.
Thx Paul. Its just UA-cam 😎
I like the drone footage. I'm picking up my 300l Rally this week. Can't wait!
Great bike for adventure
Imagine if Honda came out with a fuel Injected, electric start, XR650R, with a subframe, and real headlight. They re-released an upgraded NSX , ford is re-releasing the Bronco and the GT, why not dream of a re-released upgraded XR650R.
The only thing missing is a honda cbr300r engine, which you can buy and swap in and still have money left, instead of buying an un reliable high maintainance ktm..
You know i'm abit of a bullshitter myself but it's nice to hear an expert every once and a while 👌
High maintenance yes, but why unreliable?
I think you're wrong.
@@iamandreja I would take the crf250 rally over any ktm if I was to do a long trip through various terrain. Ktm makes good motocross bikes and Enduro monsters, but if I need to fully trust my bike I would not choose ktm..
@@Namesakes.unit-x-10sq10
You should trust them. They're not bad quality but they make 65hp out of 450ccm. It is logical that the engine is much more stressed. The thing with 450 KTMs (and all other brands) is, you need to change the oil every 10-15 hours and to check valves regularly, that can be pain in the ass. Check out brapping kiwi on Instagram, he did 130000 kilometers with his 500EXC.
Under some strange coincidences, I bought my first KTM 20 days ago, it is 2012. 450EXC. I was planning to buy CRF Rally but then, this happened. It is much more expensive to travel with it but maaaan, 111 kilograms, superior suspension and brakes... We'll see what will it turn out to be, wish me luck :D
@@iamandreja the motor is too stressed, and the electronics sick, but yes they do really make good bikes! But you know that the honda is basicly indestructible and will run as long as you have fuel and change the oil about every 6000 kilometers. Bur yes, the ktms are superior in everything, except reliability, sturdyness, service and price. A drz400 with a rally kit is the best compromise I think.
5:01 beautiful photo.
great review
Thx matt
Now if they made a 450 version of this with suspension sorted and everything else the same we would have the adventure bike. Waiting.
I agree Bruno
Exactly! I am a big dude, and need a bit more hustle to get me down the road
Jeremy loose some weight lol
Jeremy this bike is not for big boys. unless you big bore it.
Theyv teased it, i have the 250 rally now n put a new exhaust for bit more power, i love it but im a big boy and need bit morr power particularly on the road , ill get a 701 husky or 690ktm if they dont come out with this soon
www.cycleworld.com/2013/01/18/honda-crf450-rally-first-look/
I'm getting the impression that an old geezer like me would be better off on something like this for dual sport trail rides than the 450L... My clutch wrist is a little weak though & a lot of clutching is a concern. My KLR has been decent but it's not a trail bike. I'm tryin' to get my homework done... thanks
if clutch is a concern there are hydraulic clutch kits which supposedly help or just go with a rekluse for a few hundred more. for trail use being able to just ride it without worrying about clutchin might help.
@@0xsergy perfect... learning with the help of others... I'd not heard of a hydraulic clutch until just recently. thankyou
@@bj-th7ul do some googlin. a lot of bikes already come with hydro clutches so if it already has one fitting an aftermarket one(probably) won't help. Rekluses are available for most bikes, pretty common for older dudes for the same reason you have.
@jeff deathrage get a 450l, get a drz400. Dont bother with any of the 250's they are gutless pigs
Start strength training. Not only will that strengthen your wrists but improve your durability.
Xpulse 200 is most affordable adv around the world 80 mph top speed slow but good offroader
I own a rally and...I live in Nepal...so it ain't cheap here(Rs 13.25 lakhs)...comparing Rally to Xpulse...I really hated the handling of Xpulse.
6:52 2.7 gallon (not Litre)
In my city, 2020 DRZ400S is selling for $4999..... meanwhile the 2020 CRF250L Rally is selling for $5149....
I love Honda, but I’ll be getting the DRZ soon....
Where do you live?, That's a good price for the DRZ
Hey man that is a big title. Whatever the bike is in your situation, is most likely the best ADV bike for you! Everyone's requirements are different, even on slow bikes. Not sure if your title was just based on 'new' bikes or what. So many people have been having 'affordable' ADV adventures on clapped our xr's, tw's, klx's, and other plate-able bikes it's ridiculous not to include them.
Great review but I'm getting hung up on the title. (most affordable ADV bike)
Its youtube. Its like Hollywood.........just entertainment.
Just get a DR350. Such a good bike.
The bike looks good that’s all I can say for it, I hated the bike due to power and extremely soft suspension and the seat felt more like a motocross bike. I ride a 650l and think it’s easier ridden than this bike. I don’t see how anyone could put any luggage on this bike and constantly shifting gears due to absolutely no power..
Itchy Boots has one one these which she is touring Africa , mostly off road in places that a muppet like you would not dare to go, she has loads of luggage , never had any issues with the bike. She has 830,000 subscribers and had had over a 100,000000 view .
Weighs the same as my xr650l but only a 250...no thanks lol. I weigh 270
I love Honda CRF rally a lot
With the vid having 491k views I think I should do a video on the new crf300 🤔
Every review of this bike goes the same way. Great bike - Not enough power. So why doesn’t Honda offer the same bike with a bigger engine? 350 or 400cc? You have to choose between this and a fire breathing 450L that requires an oil change every 20 minutes. I do not understand Honda’s refusal to give the people what they want!
Rumor is a smaller African twin is coming. As for the cc we dont know
Amen
I wouldn’t call this an adventure bike since it can’t handle highway speeds, it was my first bike and I loved it, but having the ability to comfortably take highways to trails like I can on my TR650 was a game changer
I will never understand why Honda doesn’t offer a 400cc version of this bike. It is a great platform. I’m sure they can’t sell a 400 because of emissions, but KTM seems to be able to build and sell whatever they want.
Yes. Ktm seems to be doing whatever they want including a two stroke street legal bike which I thought wasn’t possible.
@@bermcannonk KTM sells a street legal two stroke???? What model is that ?
Will be interesting if Honda does similar with the 450L
Or a 800
@@bermcannonk Damn, come on man, 650cc is moooore than enough. a twin cylinder CRF650 Rally is the perfect sweetspot. 60-70 HP is all you need
Nice review Mark...Im not sure how the xr would be similar but l guess ld have to ride a rally to know 😁 Probably not my cup of tea with the weight being what it is but gosh the value seems darn hard to beat if your looking for that class of an adventure bike 👍
Very nice review, Berm... Thanks.
🤙🏻
Front springs are a complete disaster on this bike, you need to replace them. Racetech offers a damn good alternative for like 110 bucks. The rear shocks are even worse, they are horrible !!!!! If you just use it on the pavement to go to work, keep them, otherwise you need better and that will cost. I got Ohlins HO703 on mine, cost like 800 bucks but finally some good rear shocks when I go off-road in your type of terrain (with rocks). Handlebar is useless, you drop the bike once and it will be all twisted. Replace with some Renthal 50 bucks versions. Lose the handguard, worthless. Get some barkbusters or similar. I think I mentioned about the most essential things that you need to replace/add once getting this bike. Also, DO NOT MAKE THIS ALREADY HEAVY BIKE HEAVIER !!!! It is too heavy for a 250 cc, you will feel it uphill, so don't add side-guard protectors and crap like that. You can replace the battery with lithium to lose a bit of weight and the license plate holder thingy on the back you can go for a shorter version, perhaps you can replace exhaust with a FMF powerbomb (NOT MEGABOMB OR YOU LOSE HEAT SHIELD !!!!!!), I could reduce 20 lbs of weight that way but I put the original exhaust back on, the FMF just too loud and uncomfortable to ride that way. Leave the stock wheels, they are pretty good for on and off-road for what its worth. A better sprocket is also an idea, but then you need to recalibrate the speed, or buy digital speedometer calibrator crap or your indicated speed is off by like 10-15% ! But a better sprocket does make a pretty good difference and better riding experience.
tl;dr: You need to replace:
- Front springs
- Handlebar
- Rear shocks (if you go off-road).
- Better handguard, the stock ones are worthless at best.
Optional:
- Shorter license plate holder (check legality, Honda officially makes them for like 50 bucks with the turn lights but not everywhere legal).
- Lithium battery (to reduce weight on the already too heavy 250 cc engine)
- FMF exhaust, you will get about 1-1.5 more HP and lose around 8 lbs of weight, but they are very loud and uncomfortable longer distances and illegal in most places for street use (at least in Europe) and then the question remains, is it worth the extra 900 bucks?
- Better Sprocket
All else you do not need on this bike.
Enjoy it guys, like I have :)
WARNING: Turn ABS OFF when you go off-road if you got the ABS version.
if only honda made it 450, I'd actually even consider buying one. I feel like as a 250 it should be very light, but 24hp carrying 160kg doesn't impress me. I'm fine with my 690 enduro.
They do make a crf450 adv....
@@Marshall498 They do!? Well now I know. Tho it seem like the 450L doesn't have the same fairing as 250L rally.
2021 price $6,300 (ABS Rally model) plus tax and dealer tip
Smooth review, thanks. I never ride but this calls me
1000 $ for that 450 ?? i dunno where y’all on youtube get this amazing deals, i have been browsing craigslist for nearly two years now and figured i better off buying the new bike than paying for the used one ,
They neeed a 450 version
i mean, maybe. my re himalayan cost like half of what this does and it handles trails(dirtbike/atv trails as that's all i have locally) pretty good. highway top speed is lacking though just like this, 135 max 110-120 is happy (kmh) those speeds are without tucking. i will say that i don't get the suspension you do but aftermarket upgrades aren't too pricey and the suspension it has does pretty good. handled jumps with ease.(7.8/7.0 inches, never bottomed it out yet).
edit: i just checked the p[rices again, theyre about the same. i could have sworn the rally was selling for 12k cad this summer but its down to about 7 now.
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
I I’m getting this bike in two weeks!
Cute... I own one. and you don't mention the seat height at ALL.... IF you are 200 lbs or more.. as most Americans are.. Front springs and a new rear Ohlins rear shock. {possible lowering links}.. aftermarket exhaust and a EJK tuner to say the least... and I changed the sprockets... I do love my Rally but after you get crash bars etc. she is up weight a bit.. and I feel most people won't be able to deal w/ the tall saddle...
Good points captain sam!
Great review thanks 👍🇬🇧
I have owned from new an XR400 2003, still have it would never sell it, it’s mine forever, love it. Electric start Mikuni pumper, lots of mods & Enduristan luggage. The best trail bike built ever !
Had a crf250l, couldn't get 45 mph uphill on highway 89 to Kanab, it was a dog!
It does lack
Good looking steed. Great review!
Good honda crf
this bike weighs over 100lbs more than it should.. everyone talking about and reviewing it is making excuses for it and saying while it can do this and if you take it easy it will do that.. basically its the bare minimum for everything when was the benchmark set that low.. the pro of having a small engine size is suppose to be having a lightweight bike but this is a 250cc with all the weight of a 20year old 650cc machine
Just saw ome today i store and had to google it. I had a 250 l last year and liked it until i gor on thw hiway and it just couldnt keep up. Nothing like being on a bike with a 18 wheelet behind you and he speeding down on you. This bike sure is sexy in person !!
I had one for about a month. Too slow and cumbersome. I now have a wr250r and dont think ill sell it for a long time, its better in every way!
Way more fun than a 600-lb Behemoth known as BMW ...
High, i have looked everywhere. There is nothing other like the CRF 250 L Rally. Kindly Fiete
Can't disagree with anything you said, but then I'm very bias as I've owned one for two years and have covered just over 20,000km.
You are very lucky. Great bike!
If they had just made it a 300cc it could have sat comfortably at 100 km/h instead of being at its limit. Then the CFR300 Rally could do it all. Honda has the engine already why not use it!
Your dream and mine has come true
Why can't Honda build a CRF650L ? Like an XR650R with the fairing.
Why does that thing weigh 350 pounds ? That is 90 pounds more than the CR250F.
Love this
Great vid, incredible bike. But definitely not the most affordable checkout the CSC TT250 ( zongshen ), partial honda clone starting at 2k
Thanks for the video. I'm interested in this bike.
Just wondering why do you think this bike might fit your needs?
@@bermcannonk I sold my YZ250 about 6 months ago. I raced it up until I was 24 or so. I have a 2 year old and we just bought my wife a klx140L. I want something slow. I'm still looking into all the offerings but this looks fun so far. I have not looked into the base 250L yet though
“Counter balance” inside the engine would be called a “balance shaft” I’m looking towards this bike because I just took my Grom off-road and it was awful lol fun but but meant for that the highway speed was also an issue
Looks, like small decent brother of Africa Twin
The base 250L is a much better buy because the "bells and whistles" on the Rally just add more weight to a class of bike that is at its best when lean. Other than the cowling the rest of the add-ons on the Rally could be bought in the aftermarket at a fraction of the cost.
I disagree 💯% the headlights look so much better & probably work way better they are so freaking bright 🌞 + the extra plastics make it look hella cool fuel tank is a nice add-on plus it's metal rather than plastic if I'm not mistaken on the L. I'm not here to knock the L because I think it's a badass bike if you ride in the dirt more but if you ride on the street more like I do then the rally is a much better investment and I think worth it. I picked up a 2018 250 rally with 172 miles in this CRAZY market for $7,100 otd. At another big box dealership they wanted $7,300 for the 250L (non rally) with 680 miles! They had a brand new '21 300L rally & they said it was on consignment I asked them how much they said $8,800 otd I said I'll do it! They came back a couple minutes later & decided not to sell me the bike that the guy who put it on consignment did not want to sell it anymore I was like why did you even ask the guy that's why the bike is here is to sell it WTF! But the next day I found the 250 rally & saved basically 2K & I'm fine with getting a 250cc over the 300cc. To each his own, so whatever YOU would do that's your choice👍👍I thank all of these bikes are great Kawasaki 300 dual sport a used wr250r CRF250-300L rally whatever the hell you get just get out there on 2 wheels & have fun. If I had a trailer to take my little Yamaha Zuma 125cc I would love to ride that thing thru the trails just the paved dirt roads I think it would be a fun bike cuz I have the knobby tires on my Zuma 💯% fun 🛵💨
Is the rally worth the extra money compared to just the L? Great video?
Not affordable... it's cost twice the real price in nepal ....more than 12000$....still gonna buy one day
Jamaha wr 250r je zakon za i najbolji,posedujem i Hondu reli 250 ali Jamaha je mnogo bolja i kvalitetnija
I think honda should use this rally format with the current xr 650l...🤔
I agree
2,7 liters gas tank.. You mean gallons? 😮 Nice review! Looks like a bike well suited for commuting and som weekend fun in the woods..
Yes gallons 🤦♂️😎
