In this video I talk about the essential things that you need to know before buying the Honda CRF 300 Rally.
Maybe you are considering this bike but have a few questions in your mind whether it is right for you. In this video I talk about who the bike is for, what it is good at, what isn't so good and ultimately, if the bike is right for your type of riding.

I bought that same bike a month or two ago. And the only thing I'm going to buy is spare tubes and tools to handle on the road fixes. That and some good straps to hold down a dry bag.

@TripleB6036 4 месяца назад

Hey fellow Brit down in Cotabato. You seal the deal for me with the comment about sevicing the CRF against the CB500x. This is so valid and I didnt think it till you said it. This would mean I would have to take a CB to Davao for any major service work, thats 5 hours each way! So CRF Rally will be it, with the money saved going in to the Rally Raid suspension upgrades. Cheers.

@TripleB6036 2 месяца назад

Hey, Glad you found it helpful. Yeh, I hate going up to Cebu city for o do any services so being able to do them locally is a massive bonus and means they get extra maintenance. The rally is so easy to work on I do some work myself too. I keep thinking I’ve got to plan a trip to Mindanao as everyone else tells me the roads and scenery are great. The rally raid is really good by the way. Definitely worth doing at least the shock. You can see my thoughts on it in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IzO5mZv5OTs.htmlsi=1dbiYgiGrVwa3ZiZ

Great review. Sane and honest. I must rent it and try it myself. I have currently XT660r, but I'm looking for a new bike that ain't heavy and complicated and this seems to be IT. But it has a half of the power of XT...

@TripleB6036 11 дней назад

Thanks. Are you in the Philippines? It’s about 20+ kg lighter than your XT and about 20hp down I think. I guess it depends on how and where you ride. I don’t miss the power as it still has enough to get going. Obviously it’s way down on power compared to my VStrom 800 but the light weight just makes it that much more fun and nimble to take anywhere that it becomes a non issue. Or maybe I’m just getting old and don’t ride as fast as I used to 😂

@martinponc8021 11 дней назад

@@TripleB6036 Nono, I live in Czech. It's fact that light enduro bikes makes sense here, only if you willing to ride them little bit illegally let's say... I drive the XT 70% on blacktop, rest ist some dirt roads and stuf like that, no hardcore enduro. I think about it for some time, and I don't want big complicated bike like T7 or Africa twin, and 690 or 701 are really expensive.

@lovemyFilipina 2 дня назад

I almost bought this bike and the reason I didn't buy it is because I thought the seat was a little uncomfortable and my Filipina wife didn't like sitting on the back of it either so I ended up going with the xr150l which has an absolutely phenomenally comfortable seat and it already comes with a rack and it's carbureted very basic and I can take it anywhere like you were saying which I love because we're always exploring down dirt roads and a bonus it was it's less than half of what the CRF 300L cost

@TripleB6036 2 дня назад

No doubt it’s incredible value. I’ve had the XR125 and 150 here too. The 125 had a few issues with cold starts but nothing a full choke couldn’t solve eventually along with the kick start it had. Great value bikes and perfect for here except a little low on power uphill. I think they’ve just started selling it in the States now too as I’ve seen a couple of reviews pop up on RU-vid.

@lovemyFilipina 2 дня назад

@@TripleB6036 yes they started selling them in the states in 2023 the one I have is a Philippines version with a Kickstart yes they're not the best on hills especially when you're riding doubles which I always do I'm looking at getting another bike soon but I'm definitely going to keep the xr150l I'm looking at the dominator 400 not a big Kawasaki fan though but I like the features on the bike especially for the money approximately 3600 dollars

@TripleB6036 3 месяца назад

Hi Chester, Thanks for your comment. I used to live in Valencia. Lovely little place. Unfortunately I don’t know of any used ones. Probably best to check Facebook bike groups here like Cebu big bike mercado etc. The Rally is pretty hard to come by here, likely because it’s nearly perfect for the Philippines and the roads here. I rode the Rally on a lovely ride in Negros a few weeks ago. Perhaps you know the road but if not it’s a nice ride .

These are great bikes for everything but freeway travel. Mine is a 2022 and I have been on 2 Backcountry Discovery Routes, Idaho and Washington carrying all my gear with the stock suspension and it did well. I recently put a YSS shock and a K-Tech spring on the front, with heavier oil, and it's like a whole new bike, money well spent and just an easy swap in a few hours work.

@TripleB6036 3 месяца назад

I completely agree. Freeway travel would be my only concern if I was in the States or Europe. Luckily I don’t have to deal with those here where the bike has plenty of grunt for almost all conditions. How do you find the Ktech Spring? I have the Rally raid level 1 shock with the 95nm spring and I’m deciding whether to try and do the cheaper option on the forks or splurge for the Rally raid level 1 forks.

@@TripleB6036 The K tech spring upgrade was a Suprise and even better than the rear shock. I put in the 8 Nm, spring which is the lightest of the 3 they offer but is the one they recommended for my weight. I also took out 200 ML. stock oil and replaced with 15wt. fork oil into the compression dampening fork tube and added 10 ML extra to reduce the air volume in the spring tube. In the rebound dampening tube, no spring side, I took out 400 ML. of stock oil and put in exactly what I took out with 30 wt. heavy fork oil. It's amazing. I can now blow through the foot deep whoops and the fork won't pogo or bottom at all. It put a smile on face and will work fine for what the bike is. Cost 150 $. My shock is the YSS 86-105 KG 405 MM short version, and the preload is set soft so I can get my short legs to the ground.

@juanaguilar3360 2 месяца назад

Nice Video ! Question, I took one out for a test ride with 0 miles and it didn't seem with enough power and I didn't want to go push it past the 4500 RPMS. however, do you know if the engine starts getting more power as you are going thru the break in period until the first 600 miles ? And are you using the stock tires on the bike for this video ?

@TripleB6036 2 месяца назад

It won’t get more power but below 5000rpm as you rode it you wouldn’t really be getting the power. Stock, about 5-8k rpm is where the power is. It’s not a fast bike but it has plenty for the roads here in the Philippines. Yes, I have the stock tires on mine still. They’re fine for the stuff I ride. Not great but not bad either.

I’ve never taken a close look at the ADV 160 as it’s a scooter in my eyes. Ok around town I’m sure but why not just get a cheap scooter for that.

@JoshSinnott97 4 месяца назад

Having the confidence to go somewhere unknown and know that the bike can tackle what it needs to go get to a campsite is what's making me lean towards this bike. Some say its good/bad at 100k/h but there's nothing else on the market to compete with it. I have been thinking about the v-strom 250sx but i think id need to know what id be throwing at it before i take it to uncharted territory. Its very hard to find that 1 bike that will tick all of the boxes. The Suzuki is almost half the price but its worth having that confidence off road with the Honda

@TripleB6036 4 месяца назад

Hi Josh, Thanks for watching. 100kph was fine for me cruising. You can see me doing around that on this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MxU43P_rx0U.htmlsi=IwcajC0BLnaVkgIq There was a bit of a cross wind but it handled it fine. I love the bike and if you look back at the bikes I’ve had, just on this channel you’ll see Ive rode a lot. I consider the VStrom 250 a road bike to be honest. Sure it’s fine doing dirt roads but I’m also sure the Rally would be better at that too. I’ve just bought a Rally Raid shock for mine and I think once I’ve fitted that it will be really good for what I want it for here. Saying that, you might want to watch my video this weekend (probably out on Sunday).

@JoshSinnott97 4 месяца назад

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. The bad thing I found out was from actually watching a 250sx review. The owner said he test rode the crf300 and felt that the front wheel didn't feel planted at 100k/h. This is the first time I've heard this from anybody so I'm not sure what to think tbh aha I've just got my L's and here in Australia I need to wait 6 months before I can do the test for my P's so I'm stuck to online research until I can actually test ride a bike. I'm considering selling my 4wd and replacing it for whatever bike I end up buying as my car is always empty on camping trips so I think I could get by with downsizing to a bike. Plus the fuel economy of a bike is very tempting. The offroadability of the vstrom did have me worried but I thought if the crf was bouncing all over the road that I'd be left with no choice if I wanted 1 bike to do it all as everything is a compromise unfortunately. But would 100% prefer the crf as I know the places I want to go buy 100k/h performance is just as important Thanks for sending me that link, I'll watch it when I get the chance. I'll sub so that I don't miss the upcoming video either. Thanks 🙂

@TripleB6036 4 месяца назад

So how does that work in Auz, do L’s allow you to ride upto 125cc or something like that? I was talking on the video today about how I’m envious of the tracks and dirt you guys have out there. I’d give my right arm to have those available here . I ended up cutting it out of the video as it was getting too long but I watch a lot of Aussie riders on RU-vid. Old man speed, MAD TV and a couple of others. Thanks for the sub . I’ll be building out both the Rally and the L over this year so might be worth watching to see what would work for you. The Rally is fine at 100kph in my view but the shock can wallow a bit if the road is undulating. I’m replacing the shock with a Rally Raid one which will sort it out.

@JoshSinnott97 4 месяца назад

We can't exceed 660cc which is pretty generous tbh. My instructor has me on a 125cc suzuki gsx which is pretty approachable. I could buy the crf now and ride that but buying a bike that I can't test ride until I'm with my instructor is a bit of a gamble incase for some reason I find the ergonomics uncomfortable for example. The more experience I get the more informed of decision I can make when it's time to buy a bike Yeah there's some pretty good places here, I'm on the west coast so I need to be able to ride anywhere from 1-3 hours to get to some of those places but that's a small price to pay As a 4wd owner, some of tracks have been chewed up by cars with either no skill or incorrect tyre pressures, I think it would be a completely different experience being able to dodge all of the big ruts and choose the easy path on a bike I have been leaning more towards the L model with an upgraded fuel tank (14L) just purely so I have less plastic on the bike because I know I'm inevitably going to drop it one day and the plastic on the rally will make me want to spend and add more weight with crash bars when the L might not need that Thanks, I appreciate your honesty about the bike. Hopefully the suspension upgrade does what you hope it will. The consensus seems to be the suspension upgrade turns this bike into the unicorn everybody has been looking for

@TripleB6036 4 месяца назад

@@JoshSinnott97ah 660cc is definitely generous. It sounds like you’re taking everything into consideration so I’m sure you’ll end up with the right bike. With what you said about the L model, you will definitely be interested in my next video. I was out on the L today and had a blast 🤘

😎👍🇺🇲 (New subscriber) I think this is the first time I've run across a channel focusing on riding and not drama, cost of living and rentals. Which are helpful info channels, but a bit of a drag. I've only been to the Phils twice. Didn't get the chance to ride yet. My last trip got all screwed up but was still a lot of fun. I'm from the PNW Seattle WA area (north of Seattle about 40 miles in Lake Stevens) Home of one of the few if not only Honda NSR MC21 with a RG 500 powerplant. Currently running a 21 KTM 690 SMC-R as my commuter. I have a host of early superbikes and something you should be familiar with. A 71 Mini Cooper S 😎 Seems like either of the 300's would work well there. I wonder how long my clutch hand would survive in traffic? Do you ever have the need to travel on the national highway? Is it possible to get everywhere you want to go bypassing the highway? It's 400cc or bigger for the highway. Im not familiar with the cost and availability of the bigger bikes or the practicality of owning one in the Phils. Im 58. I ran a Suzuki DRZ 400 SM for about two years before I recently upgraded to the KTM. The DRZ was nicely modified with all the goodies. Maybe 40hp, 325ish lbs. Was great fun. The KTM is 80 hp with all the go-fast bits. 319 lbs empty. If you've never ridden one. It's an absolute animal. Easily pulls 125 mph and cruises at 85 mph. Right about where the DRZ would tap out. I know im rambling. Just wanted to say hi and look forward to seeing more actual motorcycle adventures rather than someone scootering up a long crappy driveway and complaining about the loss of traction 😆 Cheers from Fluffy in the PNW.✌️

@TripleB6036 3 месяца назад

Haha comment of the week right here. Love it and made me laugh. The KTM 690 looks like a lot of fun. I’ve never rode one but had the 890R back in the UK for a while. The torque was arm ripping 😁. The clutch is super light on the CRF’s. No problem at all thanks to the assist on it. I’m further south on Cebu island so the bike can go on all the roads here. I think you can skip the toll roads/expressway up in Luzon to avoid the 400cc restriction. I’ll be heading up there later this year for some rides so will be able to find out for sure. Some brand big bikes are available here. I have a Z900, ninja 650 and just picked up a V Strom 800DE . All around the same price as in the States/Europe. Anything Japanese is competitively priced, Hondas often a bit cheaper. KTM upto the 790 dukes are similar pricing but anything made in Austria is more expensive due to import tax. Ducati/BMW forget about it. You can get them but pay through the nose for them. I’m just editing a fun video from today’s ride. Should be done and posted mid week. Have a good one and if you’re ever over this way, I’ll be renting some bigger bikes out soon.

Except for ice or snow. Have to learn to love freezing cold or rain here. Look forward to seeing more videos 👍 Be interested to know how life is living off a bike? As far as grocery shopping, getting goods back and forth, pros and cons. That sort of thing. I've done it out of necessity here in the past when my vehicle broke down and was reduced to a motorcycle for everything. Accessibility to resources in the US is quite different than there. What are the serious concerns for a new arrival intending to live off a bike? I don't mean living ON the bike. Just depending on it for everything. Most people take their scooter for local trips but don't say much about the techniques of getting around skillfully. Again. Rambling 😁

@TripleB6036 3 месяца назад

Wow that is some list. I’d love to see that 92 CBR900 RR . That was one of my dream bikes as a kid. I doubt it’s worth importing due to bureaucracy and import taxes. The reality here is that it’s set up for bikes and that’s what most people have. A top box or panniers for shopping. Anything bigger and there is always someone available with a trike or a truck who will be happy to deliver stuff for you for a small fee. I lived here for around 5 years before I bit the bullet and bought a pickup truck and that was only because I have a young daughter.

@TripleB6036 3 месяца назад

Ah ok. There’s quite a few ways to stay here. If you come in on a tourist visa it’s easy to extend that visa at the local bureau of immigration. I’m actually still doing that although will be getting permanent residency this year as I’m married to a Filipina. Buying a bike here is as simple as finding stock, paying cash (or bank transfer) and showing 2 forms of ID. The hassle comes in that they don’t provide a plate number (registration plate) when you leave the dealer with the bike. You have to wait for it to be registered and then you are sent the documents. This can take anywhere from 1-4 months and technically you’re not road legal until then. I am still waiting on 3 different plate numbers 2 months after buying the bikes. I still ride the bikes locally but if you’re stopped at a police checkpoint it may cause issues such as a fine or confiscation of the bike (unlikely but if you get a police officer having a bad day it’s possible). Stupid system and one they are supposedly changing soon.

Is it roomy for 2/up ride..I m 180cm 100kg..my vife is 168 70kg...with new rear shock ofcourse?? Hello from balkan europe

@TripleB6036 4 месяца назад

Hi, ah I’d love to ride the balkans one day. No, I don’t think it would work for two adults. With luggage, my 7 year old daughter and I were ok but it’s not roomy.

@@ivanmaric4752⁠You’re welcome. Your English is fine 👍 Look at Middleweight adventure bikes for two up riding. I just got the Suzuki VStrom 800DE . That would be perfect. Stay tuned for videos on that bike soon.

i ride with my partner, im 78kg with gear and she's 65, can confirm to hit 112kmh on the free way, not too ideal but it works. Just be careful posistioning when your overtaking. doing backroads 2 up with luggage is possible, just ride slow and acknowledge that you dont have the power. If you want you can also change the sprocket gearing to get more torque so that making 2 up riding "better"

Interesting to hear your comments on the Africa Twin. I really want a Rally but worried that it'll be a bit too slow. I have a Forza 350 and I love it and happy with the speed. I find the AT too fast a lot of the time! Hopefully you've ridden a Forza to compare it too 🙏🏻

@TripleB6036 2 месяца назад

I’d never heard of the for a before you mentioned it. Just took a Quick Look and the power stats are fairly similar to the Rally. If you’re not doing motorway miles then I’ve never found the Rally to be underpowered but it depends on your type of riding. I’m not really into speed when I’m riding these kind of bikes, it’s more about the scenery and freedom.

It’s the best all-around (interstate to trail) bike there is.

@TripleB6036 Месяц назад

Think I’d have to agree

@tarjas 10 дней назад

Do you work for Honda marketing? Have you tried to ride the Rally on interstate with luggage and any sort of incline? Unsafe, impossible to keep up with traffic. Zero roll on power and the bike is running at 100%.

I appreciate what you said about "electronics"..... lol, bunch of bULLcH!Te you need a master's degree to operate & WHY? I went to college for Computer Science but that's the last thing I wanna go is look at their packages. All I want is a reliable ride w/ as little bs as possible. I might take the ABS, perhaps since I've not ridden in many years but thanks for the video. Asian Rain, is that rain that goes sideways? Bet it does but I like the approach here >> a man after my own heart. Simple is all I want but the suspension might be a concern, guess I'll watch the rest of the video to see what you say about it? peace

Oh Asian rain comes hard and fast. You literally get soaked going from your house to your truck. Sideways, well if we have a typhoon blowing in sure does.

too much plastic and weight for 286cc/22rwhp unless you are Itchy Boot's size. Better off with the 300L with an acerbis tank IMO. Or a DR650 if you can get one.

The 300L with Acerbis tank was my initial plan but at the time found it too hard to get the parts where I am.
