Nice job! Your commentary is a lot more solid and punchy, compared to when you started the channel. Big improvement. Nice solid review of the Rally too. Your skills have improved massively as well!
Brendan, that means a lot brother! It’s really incredible to bring together the best riders seeking to improve / refine our riding! Big announcement to come with the Motor Moab Adv Rally event I am hosting!
The mentality to travel long distance is all you need my friend. The bike itself provides the comfort / performance you’d enjoy on the way. She has, and she also is in the unique position to make these trips. The crf250L should be just fine, I just think it’s underpowered on highway.
I got a 300L rally about 2 weeks ago. I cannot believe how sweet this bike is! I just love it! Was really psyched to run across this channel with all of its Rally content.👍
I have about 615 miles on my Rally, thank you for your videos ! One thing I did to really improve performance was to lower my air pressure in my tires Front- 10 PSI and Rear- 12 PSI. The dealer had almost 20 in both tires. Went from sketchy on gravel to allot more control. Subbed !! Remember its allot more fun driving a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow......
I managed to find one for $7,050 after looking for a day. Drove out with my partner and rode it 130 miles back home. It's a blast even with me being 6'3" and 250lbs The handlebars are buzzy though. My right hand went numb after about an hour.
I recently got a used 250cc Rally. It came with YSS Suspension front and rear + a 6L fuel camel tank on the side for a total of 16litres. Great bike. Those mods on the 300cc would be awesome as well.
Good review but the out the door is pretty insane. I would skip the extended warranty and theft protection (which your insurance should cover). I would say out the door < 9k would be reasonable.
Deep respect! 🇺🇸🏍💯 This made my day! All I can say is it’s worth it :) this weekend I’ll be filming the new crash bars I got and fabricating the skid plate (and one to give away!) stay tuned!!!
There’s nothing like the motorcycle heritage that comes with a Harley! I think the complete rider can do both! 🤙🇺🇸🏍 Recommend watching Harley and the Davidson’s tv series
Love the no-filler review. I just subbed and hope to see more of your vids. When I started looking at bike vids I was flooded with Yammie noob and shit like that but this is a lot better
Welcome to the team my friend! Just being direct and honest goes a long way. I don’t ask for likes or subscriptions and enjoy our riders here. I think Yammie would be able to actually speak about the bike if like many others, he actually rode it, unfortunately they often do not.
I completely share your opinion! , @Brendan Michael....Motormigo has made an excellent review of our bikes and his skills have increased a lot!! Happy to be subscribed here and keep up the good work!
Thanks for the video. If you ever got your hands on a kawasaki versys x 300, I would be keen to hear your thoughts on it and how it compares to the Honda CRF 300L Rally. Thanks again.
Thank you for taking time to share your experience in a thorough comparison of various types of riding. Also for setting up camera work, mics and editing that make for a fine video. Just curious where in Virginia are you riding? It looks like a state park entrance sign in the last dialog. And yes, the out the door price here in Northern Virginia is high! They have such a long waiting list, they can charge and get pretty much whatever they ask.
Glenn, Thank you for the kind remarks! There are a lot of moving parts to producing a review for such an awesome bike! Delivering the right camera work is so important to sharing the experience of the ride. I have so much to learn and really this is all for good fun! Yes, I was riding in the haymarket, VA area (I got a calimoto route that goes through some incredible views). The Northern Virginia dealer is expensive, they knew there was scarcity and on my part I just wanted the bike. It’s funny how itchy boots literally bought the same bike, if a world adventurer like her is riding this thing then maybe that’s all I have to say haha!
I don’t know if northern Virginia and the dealership got me good. I did the extended warranty service package (hindsight regret doing that) knowing this single piston engine won’t fail. 🙃
@@motormigo3204 Yeah, there motors are pretty darn reliable. Such a fun little bike. Love mine. It would be perfect if it were 40+lbs lighter, but then it would become pretty scary on the highway. Always a trade off
Completely agree. There is a wind sheer factor on highway riding! Literally having a full gas tank on the bike makes the difference between being a twig in a storm or handling comfortably. Awesome to hear!
@@sarahdell4042 Yeah the say this bike will go 85 mph. But that is downhill with a 20 mile an hour tailwind. It gets up to 70 really fast ast that it gets a little wound out and hairy. This is a fun light bike that has the power to go 55 mile an hour in a Bean field and get up a pretty steep hill and third gear. If you want to go over 70 mile an hour on the highway by a 700 cc plus motorcycle but you’re gonna trade off for weight. This is an excellent motorcycle for trail riding and country roads, not interstate riding.
Very cool bike and great video! I’d be curious to know if the bike tends to overheat or become uncomfortably hot, especially over long motorway commutes. Thanks!
Deep respect and thanks!! I’d say that I have not experienced overheating on a long commute, however, I ride in the mid-Atlantic Virginia area which is a temperate climate! I am unsure of a Nevada arid dry climate test!
I recently did a 486 mile day ride. I kept the throttle pinned about 40-50 % of the ride trying to stay close to the 75 mph speed limit here in Texas. The Rally did great with zero heat issues. The Texas heat, however did have a toll on me. 🤣🤣
Yeah right by the plains, I was lucky to record when I did. Had to time when there wasn’t cars or people making noise. It is an awesome bike stay tuned for more rides this summer haha
Nice review, I like you being honest, but it seems to me that you ride a bit risky for your level… Be safe and good luck with your channel! Greetings from Russia!
I have the Rally...it's what I call my "campground" bike. I haul it on a hitch rack behind my truck camper and use it for exploring areas around my camp and also to run into the closest town for supplies...more camping, less driving when the rig gets 11MPG! This is NOT a single track bike...get the "L" model if you want that and it's also NOT a bike for multi-day distance riding. Yeah, I know Itchyboots is doing it...but when she's on the highway all day with that engine screaming at 7,000 RPM to maintain 70MPH that's just pure hell. This Rally would also be an excellent commuter bike.
