Great video. The aftermarket IMS tank in the 450l is about 3x heavier than the stock titanium one. So that also contributes to the top heavy feeling. I went back to the stock tank and it makes a big difference. The fuel on the stock tank is center and lower vs the IMS tanks is higher up and spreads out to the radiator shrouds. Extra fuel range but adds a significant amount of weight to an already heavy bike.
My friend and I have the same bikes as you, he even bought the ECU. Being an old fart, the 350 is great for me, its so much easier to pick up than my DR650. Like the "First Elite."
Seeing this video is great because I just recently turned my DRZ400sm into a somewhat dirtbike I put 21 inch wheel on the front and 18 in the back with the dirtbike tires and I’ve been recently using it off road it’s my best option for a cheap dirtbike but it honestly has been working well. Definitely heavier and feels like the 450
Yeh, ya gotta love those mud holes that never dry up too, talk about some stinky shit, and ruin a Jersey with one wrong move lol. I wish I still had my 86’ IT200, I’d love to show these guys how an antique bike and rider can boogie from Dorr Run up to New Straightsville with the quickness. What do you ride BTW
Gromatron; if you’re not standing while riding you’ll trap a leg when going down instead of simply walking away unless your trying to have Tanner carry you home in his arms while you hang off his neck😂just leave your old ways behind cause Tanner already has a girl😂👍🤙
Great vid lads! I ride trails in the uk on a GS1250. Getting to tiring to pick up! So am thinking o getting an FE350 -suspect it may be a bit tall...what height are you Gromatron?
that Honda 450 belongs blasting around some wide open flow, not the small steeps n' creeks crawl style riding - which is perfect terrain for that husky 350..... Honda is a size 11 foot, inna size 6 slipper in those trails! I dig your vids weird riding behind your old-self...!!!ha ha shame about the trash ouch on that knee - had to stay in that rut the whole way down next time
Are you saying my 310 pound CRF300l is better for hard enduro than a 290 pound CRF450RL? The CRF450RL can be geared down, you can get a rekluse clutch, and the showa suspension is fully adjustable.
I’m glad Honda is now making a bigger street legal dirt bike crf450rl. But I think the husky/ktm bikes are just more bang for your buck. The 350 has everything better about it and can still hang with the 450 power wise. And if you just need that extra power the 501s it’s still lighter then the 450 with all that husky goodness. Only down side is service intervals, there high maintenance bikes so hope your a wrench turner. But if your willing to sacrifice some weight for even more power, less service intervals, and longer engine life, 701 enduro!
One week and you haven't washed that thing? Common. Also you should be on your pegs and not on your seat when going down that rut. Anyway who am I to tell you how to ride lol. Just enjoy mate.
@@gromatron28 lol all good. I enjoyed watching your video with Tanner. You two should make more. I'm not far away (based in Michigan). If you ever come this way will ride sometime.
Seems a little unfair to compare a trail bike to a dual sport. Of course the dual sport is heavier. Also as another person commented, dual sport bikes don't really fit the type of riding you like to do. They're not very good for low speed crawling.
On strong windy day riding on hwy u bless the extra weight cause u can get blown off road on 450l it is made for men not whiny babies i bet they cry if they ever rode a horse
Memes at the end just hit the spot LOL
You two need to make more videos together it's gold 😆
Dude, loving the format, this video and the last one is excellent. Love the video quality and the two of you talking over it. Good stuff.
Much appreciated!
@@AdventureDaily hey brother I was thinking, you know what may be great on that bike ? A Rekluse!

Glad your buddy is ok
Id love to see or even just hear about what you think of the 350 vs your 300.
My friend and I have the same bikes as you, he even bought the ECU. Being an old fart, the 350 is great for me, its so much easier to pick up than my DR650. Like the "First Elite."
😂the end had me rolling😂👍🤙
Glad he wasn't hurt too bad.Really liked the comparison of the bikes.

I fall on that little slimy hill at least once every time we ride the Wayne. Too much muck from side by sides all over it.

LOL MJ’s commentary is awesome.
That's pretty cool, coming across the Wildcat you had before!

❤🤣
hey Tanner you should've played with the map setup on the 250, its right there at your left thumb, put that thing on map 2 and try again.
That’s so funny you saw your old cat. That thing was a blast.
Great vid lads! I ride trails in the uk on a GS1250. Getting to tiring to pick up! So am thinking o getting an FE350 -suspect it may be a bit tall...what height are you Gromatron?
Man..I hate litter bugs.
Agreed!
A Rekluse would be perfect to smooth that 450 out, I swear I’d try that out n see.
Ride safe sir.. i love watching your videos and more trail..
You need a KTM 500 EXC-f, light like the 350 but big power like a 450. Awesome supermoto platform too.
Yes he would love it, i miss my 500!!

weird riding behind your old-self...!!!ha ha
shame about the trash

Agreed. The Honda wants to rip not slug around.
I use ccm hockey knee pads and they work great! I have torn my acl in both knees over 10 times ( born with weak legaments)
Great video. Is that fe350 uncorked? Also did you try map 2?

very chalenge your adventure
Great 3 videos real good editing mic up makes them good also 😎💩👍
Where are they riding?

Sorry about the knee tweak. Get that gear on, you have no idea where Tanner is going to lead you!
@12:52 cross ruts take no prisoners
What a whiner lol. All that guy does is complain
Cheese to go with that wine whine

I like to have my bikes marinate in the mud. Think of it as a facial.....if you will. 🤣🤣🤣

@@thambu19 sounds like a fun time... I know we are wanting to do a snowmobile trip that way
450l is too much bike for them
