New Ride

This is my new Honda CRF 300L Rally. It’s a dual sport/adventure bike. It’s my daily rider as long as weather permits. The Rally is a hell of an upgrade from my TW200. I’m getting 60 MPG and it comfortably runs at highway speeds.

That’s sweet. I had a 250 2 stoke until I hit a tree and fucked my neck up.... But the dual sport would be awesome..... I would trail ride the shit out of that thing...

That's nice! Not too big for off-road, but big enough to get you there. Any mods planned yet?

[steve_k]

Nice!

Great pick ! Run tubliss and be able to plug the tires with patching a tube. Or if you aren’t doing lots of highway miles, nitro mousse and you will never have a flat again.

Ran the nitro mousse on my wr250 without issue .


Also watch the latest season of “itchy boots” on you tube . She’s going SA to Alaska and having a great time ( so far) though a female traveling alone is a general security fail.

I like it! Kinda sorta reminds me of my Ranger KLX-250, with IR headlight, rocket launchers, etc....

Hell, yes.

All motorcycles are good motorcycles.

Love bikes.

Amen bro!! Sweet ride Jon!

[Ryan Taylor]

Thats a good deal, new, too. I didnt realize how inexpensive those bikes were.

[Travlin]

Nice!

I'll need to look into those when we get into the mountains this summer. Something to play on.

I’ll ride it as is for at least a year. I bought a rear rack and I’ll be getting bags soon. The only things I’ll be changing are the bark busters and the mirrors. Doubt I’ll mess with the exhaust.

That's a good plan, I would do likewise if mine.

Hey Jon, I think of got a set of Tusk soft panniers in the garage from another project. Let me dig around, if they are there I will send them to you.

I tend to hold onto stuff like that when I sell bikes for this very reason.

On Yonderings post, that’s a slick setup and likely less expensive using Amazon type mirrors, I use the doubletake mirrors on pretty much all my adventure bikes.

Lastly, if you decide to nitro mousse, slavens racing will help you spec the mousse to the specific tire, I went a bit oversized on the wr to give a higher tire pressure feel to the bike. You WILL get your workout putting them on with spoons though. I eventually just got a Rabaconda tire changer. I went in with a couple of buddies that I ride with. Total game changer if your going to change about 10 tires a year. Pricey, but turns a 45 minute cluster into 5 minutes work and 40 minutes beer and bullshitting.

Update, had a quick look in the garage. Found the Tusk and a set of older wolfmans.

Jon,

PM sent.

Some I talked to here say it's like a smaller Africa Twin, and they love it. I have an XR650L, but if I were to get another, I'd be seriously looking at the CRF 300L.

UPS says delivered, let me know you got them brother.
