Honda CRF300L Rally: Where the dirt ends and road begins, the CRF300L Rally is waiting to bring adventure bike capability to your everyday commute. The nimble design and plentiful low-end power combine with smart features for an ideal transportation solution through busy streets and bumpy trails. The bodywork is inspired by Dakar Rally racebikes, which means it looks as good as it performs. The tall windscreen provides solid protection against the elements. And the long motocross-style seat gives you all-day comfort and allows you to easily move around in the saddle. If you have a dual sport that’s even lighter and more affordable in mind, make sure you check out our honda CRF300L.
Honda CRF300L:
Balance is the key when riding any motorcycle. And we’re not talking about just balancing on two wheels: We’re talking about the balance between size, weight, power and handling that makes some bikes great-like the new Honda CRF300L. Based on our previous CRF250L, for 2021, it gets a larger engine with more torque and a whole host of chassis and suspension refinements. What you end up with is one of the best-balanced bikes ever for on- and off-road use. Perfect for weekend trail rides, it’s also among the best choices ever for commuting or urban transportation. And if you’re looking for a version with a windscreen and Dakar-inspired bodywork for a little more weather protection, make sure you check out our new CRF300L Rally.

Thanks for giving international units, nice to not have to pause the video every 2 minutes to google it
Seems like the rally is the perfect halfway point between a dual sport and a light adventure bike. It’s right on the edge. I love that. Really looking at getting one if I can find it.
Just make sure you adventures don’t include highway speeds with luggage and an incline. 330lbs of bike, 300lbs of person and luggage, 286cc don’t add up well.
@@tarjas Pack lighter! 😉
Lose weight
Honda made a true winner of a motorcycle. It’s a shame they don’t build more. I love my 300L, though I do mull over if a Rally would be better. But in the end I think I made the right choice
Great comparison. Love my Rally, aka my Africa Single. Bought an Africa Twin, too, and they're both amazing machines.
Getting the Rally this week to replace a 18 year old XR650. It will live on a RV receiver hitch and spend most of its life running dirt roads and making grocery & beer runs. Cool video, thanks!
One of my biggest plusses for the rally is the USB plug, windscreen, and front lights.
Just got my M1 in ON, Canada. While I love clean and rumbling old cruisers/bobbers stylistically, I've been checking out dual sports more and more because I didn't want to limit my riding to just the street and I've been looking for a jack of all trades kind of bike.
While the KLX300 has been in my crosshairs for a bit, I've been looking into the Honda CRF300L + Rally options more and more. Watching this now I'm sold on getting the rally and you got me with calling it a Bard from D&D which is the first class I ever played and I loved the versatility.
Getting the Rally and making it a capable, lightweight adventure bike sounds perfect to me.
Thank you for putting your time and effort into this video, it was great and helpful.
Andrew..... Your reviews are always A+. You cover a lot of info at a good pace, and your comments are well organized and clearly explained. Thank you.
great video - i think you forgot to mention ground clearance difference: L:11.2 in , The Rally : 10.9 . Very small difference but its there
I absolutely love my Rally and plan to keep it along time. I’m a beginner off road and I can attest it’s just a blast to ride and I honestly believe very forgiving and picks up the slack from my inexperience. 🤟🤟😎😎😊😊
I’ll be a new rider too- just as soon as I buy a new bike.
Im also a short rider & the 450RL was too tall for me.
What is your inseam?
Do you think my 30” could touch toes on both sides?
Right on!
IM like 30" to 32" and the 300 platfrom is great. Tho my rally is huge now with this aftermarket suspension.
Thanks for responding.
There’s an L 30min away & a Rally 2hrs.
I’m going to throw a leg over the L to see if it fits- then go for the rally!
Thanks for sharing- enjoy!
@@BobSmith-vs5jp Hi Bob. What did you get in the end, and how has the last year been with the bike?
Great video. Love the single track footage.
I couldn’t agree more… He was selling the rally, but all that single track was on his L. 😊
It's funny, I was looking at the two bikes on the showroom floor just this morning, and decided that the Rally was not worth the extra $1000CAN, but now you have me thinking.
Also, I look at those trails you are riding and imagine taking my V-Strom 1000 down one, and that thought alone makes me really want an L OR a Rally. That would be pure torture on the Strom!
I have a 2017 Vstrom 1000. Thinking of letting her go and getting a rally with modded suspension.
I have a 2004 650 Vstrom that I’ve put in some tough spots, like the AZBDR. I’ll never sell it, but I’m thinking of adding a 300L or Rally for the trails.
Thanks Andrew!
As always you are insightful and spot on… My Rally just arrived at the dealership yesterday… I get it Middle next week, so excited
Just a heads up, The L and the Rally have different part numbers for the fork spring and rear shock. So, its very likely they have different suspension stiffness.
Yes thank you, I have seen that now.
Great Review, this helps a lot!! I need a bike to keep in WY and it was either my FE350s or buy a CRF300Rally. I think I may get the Rally.
If I understand it correctly, one big reason why the Rally's stock tank is > the 300L + Acerbis tank is that you get that extra fuel capacity without having to concede an accurate fuel gauge reading, since the 300L gauge is calibrated for the stock tank and not the additional volume the Acerbis tank adds.
We were lucky enough to score the Asian spec 300L here in Aust with brilliant LED light gear. I'd love to know how its light compares to the rally. I just spent up on a coupla 1.5L fuel cans and Rigg can holders to hopefully offset the smaller tank of my L. Bought in Feb, loving it so far ... ❤
Love your channel. I've been on the fence big time and I think I am settled on the Rally after seeing this post. Keep up the great work and I look forward to watching more content.
You sold me on the nimble
Right on. Havent considered the rally much, but hmm... maybe so.
Nice review!👍
So clear! Thanks !😊
Couldn't find a single 300 anywhere. I went with the XR150L instead. The air-cooling isn't fantastic for me in the desert, but what a dead simple workhorse. Would have loved to get a Rally, I couldn't find one.
Hahahaha.... I was in the same boat, and then out of the middle of nowhere a '23 Rally ABS shows up at my dealer at the end of July. Now I own both. I did get almost 900 miles on the 150L. Currently at 520 miles on the Rally. It's comical to get on the 150L at this point. Good luck in your search. 👍
Hi, I am looking to buy either one of these bikes. But would you say the CRF300L is also good for long distant travelling on flat road surface? (HIghways etc) I live in the Netherlands, we go around 100 to 130km per hour here on the road. you think that would be suitable still for the CRF300L? thank you!
How did you cut all the plastic away from around/below the engine?

Did you loose wind protection by cutting the fairing on your Rally? I own one and have thought of doing it
I’m in the same boat as you.
I think the loss in wind protection would be noticeable. The wind protection on my Rally is much better than my Tenere 700.
I am worried about bashing up the plastic on trails. I don’t really want to add heavy crash bars.
If I don’t cut the fairings I suppose I may be less willing to ride challenging trails. 🤷♂️
Matt I've been using my Rally a lot off road since I asked that question. I do not think it's worth t
getting the crash bars. I have dropped my Rally quite a few times and no damage at all. The plastics are cheap and if one breaks while doing a BDR or something I would just ducktape it and replace when I get back from the trip. They are way cheaper than buying the bars plus I don't want the added weight, JMHO .@@Matt-xi8zr
@@Matt-xi8zr What about buying spare chinese fairings and cutting them? So can be replacing fairing maybe seasonal? 😊
@@SeyyahiKainat I found replacement Rally fairings on BikerzBits. Almost $400 including shipping from Thailand. Can they be found cheaper elsewhere?
So I have the rally, but am kind of worried about the fairings and them braking with the falls.
Any ideas on this? Crashbars i habe found weigh a ton…
It's crazy that the rally doesn't have crash bars as standard tbh. Almost negates the weight difference when you're looking at the Himalayan
@@Spaxcore emmm no.
Even if you put on 10kg of crashbars you still have more than 30kg weight difference.
@@jorgem.sanchezgonzalez5903 once you start adding the centre stand and pannier racks it starts creeping up. The difference of 15 to 20kg is fairly negligible when picking up a bike. Especially with the RE having a lower centre of gravity.
@@Spaxcore why would you put a centre stand in an off road bike?
My panier racks weigh in total 3 kg.
@@jorgem.sanchezgonzalez5903 you wouldn't if you're just doing off road but if you want to do long tours, which is presumably what the rally model is aimed for, it's very useful. Anyway, I'm not arguing the toss with you. It's daft to sell a rally upgraded model without crash bars. And if you're not bothered about weight difference why are you worried about the weight of crash bars?
Bard 😂
You got to either get a new vlog camera or get rid of the video of you talking, kinda scary.
I figured it out. It's the bitrate the bitrate of movement when there a lot going on in the back. So if I use drone or outside action shots it's much better.
Neither of the CRF's, buy the KLX300 and build your own custom miniADV machine. Fight me. I do bite, and I have rabies.
I’m debating between crfs vs klxs, why would you say klx? I heard crfs are better on the freeway
I heard klx if you are gay ? I bought 2 🥴
Good video, thanks. L and Rally have different suspension, Italy spare parts catalogue. L code 52400K1TE11, Rally cod. 52400K1TE51. All other part numbers of the various bolts, nuts, collar washers are the same.
Really! see I though that! thanks for the info.
