Thanks you for your comments! I do my best to keep up with them for the first few days after a video comes out, but due to the volume of comments on all of my videos, and to the general hustle and bustle of life, I must give up the fight after a while. If you are leaving a question four or more days after a video comes out I can't guarantee I'll see it, but perhaps one of my other viewers knows the answer and can help out. Thanks in advance to those who contribute and share their knowledge. Cheers and stay safe everyone!

If Honda built a CRF450L & Rally, with 40bhp & the same maintenance intervals & sensible pricing, like the 300s, they would clean up.

@IRQ1Conflict 3 года назад

They already have that with the XR650L. Why they haven't updated it and slapped a rally style windscreen on it is anyone's guess.

No they wouldn't. The 450 starts at $10K. No way I am dropping $10K on a 450. Not intentionally neutering the XR650L with a tiny gas tank is the answer.

A really balanced review - thanks for sharing. I have had the CRF300 Rally (there is no L anymore) since February and have put 3,500 mostly highway/urban miles on it. 75mph all day is comfortable and returns a consistent 83.2mpg. The SRC Moto luggage system is awesome with the spare jerry can. I haven't had anything under 650cc since the early nineties and was worried about a puny 286cc. It's anything but, and requires very little maintenance. A great, fun bike, and a keeper.

@tweetdezweet 2 года назад

I bought the Rally, simply for the weight since I had zero offroad experience. Ordered Wilbers suspension today and even with that added cost it still makes sense to me. But ofc that is because it's the only lightweight dual sport available in Europe. Already did some proper offroading, following a friend with tons of experience in Enduro and motocross. Ofc I couldn't keep with his pace but I did manage to follow the trail he was creating without major issues. No way, as a novice, I would have pulled off that on a heavier bike :)

@Aengen 2 года назад

I agree with much of which you talked about in this video! My first bike was a sv650 and after that I've owned a lot of different road bikes, until I started driving for the Swedish Armed Forces on our Husqvarna MC258 (two stroke with automatic centrifugal clutch). After a couple of years with offroad riding in the military I sold my road bike to buy my own better suited offroad bike, and that was the CRF300 Rally. It was a really great bike after changing suspension and adding a real bashplate. But, it was only great in the woods. On road(gravel and tarmac) it was lacking, and rightfully so. It is a 286cc single after all. So after 1120km I sold it... and this weekend I am picking up a used Tenere 700 from 2019 with only 1500km on the odometer. I am quite sure that this is the bike I should have bought in the first place... but you live and you learn! Anyways, thank you for many hours of entertainment. I wish you all the best.

@mikeisland7382 3 года назад

If only Honda had made the Rally a 500cc and kept the weight under 300lbs fueled with performance suspension priced the same as the T7 they would own the Dualsport/adventure market for years to come. Great video that shows why lighter is better.

@gregorbabic7664 3 года назад

Always thought the T700 would be the perfect bike to have. And maybe it is if you only have room for one bike in your life. But honestly, the best is having a road oriented larger displacement ADV for most road rides, touring and two up riding while having a light dual sport for the single track and back roads riding. (Also a great commuter). The Yamaha is so overpriced in Canada because demand for it is so high. You can spend less on 2 slightly used bikes that are better suited to on road and off-road duties. But that’s just the approach I took and it works for me.

So I own an electric mountainbike to go forest roads legally and I also own a Honda VFR 1200 F for streetriding. On the motorway we are allowed to go as fast as we can: 22o km/h is my maximum, although my Honda woul go 250km/h. In fact a Tenere 700 would be a good choise as well.

The 701 Enduro blends the best features of both of these bikes. A properly outfitted (skid plate, barkbusters, pannier rack,etc) Long Range model with its 6.5 gallon capacity and 330 mile range, weighs only 383lbs WET and produces 70hp. Light enough to toss on a hitch carrier, powerful enough to cruise all day on the highway, and more competent in the dirt than either the Honda or the Yamaha.

I bought a KLX250 (didn’t know the 300 was coning out) and sent the suspension to Noleen for tuning and to drop it 2” front and rear. Very affordable. Because it’s tuned to my weight and riding style, I don’t notice the ground clearance issues at all. It is no less than perfect now. All I need is a larger tank. I do love my KLX.

The T7 top heaviness can be resolved with a simple idea; learn the bike and develop your skill based on that bike. The road capability is necessary for most who must ride to a location to get to dirt and the 300 Rally just can't ride nearly as confident on the road with the wind and blow back from trucks and natural gusts. I wanted both, the 300 was not available and the T7 was so I scooped it up and I've had to learn the bigness of the bike but over time it feels smaller and I feel like a ninja on it now. Again its always about skill.

Riding both. Now own a CRF - so much fun, to wring the small thumper, lightweight on the trails wins hands down.

@jtaylorb88 2 года назад

Those are the exact two I want but couldn't find the exact tenere you have so I bought that Honda of your wife's last week to go with my MT-07.

Great video. I would choose the yamaha tenere because I would spend 90% on the . I do love the little honda though. I ride a kawasaki zx9r but would love an adventure bike to add to my collection 😀

@zzxx33mh 3 года назад

Choosing between two is should be depending on your type of riding you wish 😏, 300L will not harm your heart when it falls, more offroad , less maintenance,less wight..T7 for more tour,better quality..smoth powerful ,better look and techs,..

I'm 5'8. Looking at a tenere as my next bike. Probably going to have to lower it tho.

@Wabbit1961 2 года назад

Two different classes. Nice info on both. I'd choose a KLR over the T7. I'd choose a Hymalayan over the T7 as well. I've ridden all of them. This is a bit dated. The Honda is now CRF350. Price wise this bike is a champ. Kawasaki has a KLX 300 is on point with the price. Both are a blast to ride but the KLX 300 can be bought in super moto or 300sm. The tires are also tubeless. I'd tend to lean towards the Kawasaki in either model.

Spoky, I hoped Honda would turn their CB 500 X into an offroader. I liked their choice to introduce a second frint disk for a better bite.

Awesome Video!!! I just bought a Royal Enfield Himalayan which is in the middle of these 2 bikes. Well, almost! I plan on doing some BDR routes here in the US and the Himalayan will be perfect for me. Capable yet cheap enough to not care if I trash the bike. My regular ADV bikes are my new Triumph Tiger 1200 XCX and my new Harley Davidson Pan America S. The Triumph is superior for more highway dirt roady stuff, the Harley is better for dirt roady desert stuff and the Enfield is better to beat the crap out of on serious crap roads and yucky stuff. Great video Sir!! 🙌👏👌✌🖖🤙👍👋🙂

The Himalayan will beat them both on the BDR :)

@walkerskii 2 года назад

Since you have taken over the 300 for your dirt bike & are only using the 700 as your street cruiser, cuz of its weight & top heavy weight distribution, I suggest getting your wife a Yamaha tt200 or XT250, both have very low seat height & plenty of power for even the largest woman.

@jtaylorb88 2 года назад

Plus being only 140 pounds and picking up that Yamaha is not the easiest for me but I would use it more as a tourer especially with the newer dual tank rally one coming out till then my MT-07 works good too.

@glossblack1098 2 года назад

Nice vid. Try a KTM 690 or Husky 701. Same hp as T700 but 50 kg lighter. Better suspension too.

@rolandmetayer7210 3 года назад

I don't ride any motorcycle,but I think that both bikes are very good. It depends on what you are looking for in a motorcycle. Cheers from Canada, snow country.

How has the CRF moved the game on compared to a 30 year old NX250 I wonder.

@ficklepickle2495 2 года назад

Dear Honda and Yamaha, PLEASE build a bike that's 400-500cc's with maintenance intervals similar to that of the 300L. The CRF450L doesn't hit the mark because most adventure riders don't want dirt bike-level maintenance. The KTM 500 and Husky are awesome but expensive and don't have reliable and simple Japanese engines and overall reliability. One day this bike will come and will absolutely crush the dual-sport / lightweight ADV market.

@MixedGrid 2 года назад

Two wildly different bikes imo. No need to compare. Two different parts of the segment.

@bartoszpajak2285 2 года назад

Meanwhile, it is no secret that an aftermarket rear shock needs to be added to the purchase price of an CRF300 from the very first beginning. Once this is sorted out, the bike turns into a surprisingly capable trail bike. I own the 300L (not the Rally) and it took me to places I wouldn't even dare to think about when sitting on one of the big adventure bikes I owned in the past.

@Chautauquas717 2 года назад

I'm looking for something in the middle... Honda 450 Rallye at 360 lbs... Bowing away from KTM Adventure 490 as made in China. Or a Kawasaki KLX 450 Adventure style... How about a Suzuki DRZ400 ADV style?

I had a 660 Tenere and now a CRF300L not rally and the 660 was only better on longer trips but I didn’t like it at all off road and I love the little Honda it’s all based on your needs.

@theshyguitarist Год назад

Personally, I’d like a mini bike with a 200 hp single piston with pro off road race suspension, 26” of travel, 146mpg a 15 gallon tank and built in water desalination plant. Oh and a 32 “ stand over height. Ayeeeee....and 275 lb wet weight. Doesn’t mean it’s gonna happen.

@corpsefather7914 2 года назад

Ha! Same bike combo as me and my girl, except she got the L , I’ve ridden both and prefer my Tenere, the 300 could use better suspension ( adjustable ) but otherwise it’s great. And it’s hard to compare the power difference because it has situational limitations , I am not even tempted to aim at a single track on the Tenere, mostly because I don’t want to drop it and have to pick it up.

@slakk5093 3 года назад

I am looking at these two for Australian conditions. I have to take in to consideration the long stretches of highway - T7 wins that, and also the fact that I'm exploring remote ruff trails solo - Rally wins that. I'm leaning more to the Rally with YSS suspension upgrade for now. I know I will be more likely to explore a hard looking track on the Rally vs on the Tenere (keeping in mind that I will often be by myself)
