Being 6' 3" 230lbs the 450 is the only way to go for a big guy , the 300 is just to slow with me on it 😊

I went with the CRF 300L Rally. The 3.4 gallon tank (vs. 2 on 300L / 450RL), mildly lower seat, and of course it looks nice. Seat is comfortable. Pegs are big enough. No LED signals though. It is gutless for sure. I use it to ride to work on non-highway roads, and riding forest roads. It suits my needs. I am glad to see you picked-up the 450 as that will suit you needs! This is a great video for this not-often-talked about machine.

Thanks. The 300 is a great bike for what it does.

I went ballz deep on the 300L with the upgrades LOL. Fixed the biggest weak spot on the 300L with cogent Dynamics suspension. Hard to beat for $6700 out the door granted the 550 performance and full Yoshi made a lil dent $ also. I'm barely on the balls of my feet with the 300L, I wouldn't be willing to ride any taller of a bike. Also the high compression, low mileage service intervals and low speed stalling drove me away from the 450 including the price.

I have a CRF450RL, and it gets much better after break-in. It vibrates less after 500ish miles and with an ECU the low end torque improves quite a bit. It still isn't a great hwy bike, but it'll cruise 65 pretty well. Over 70 it gets buzzy.

Fix the twitch. Install a GET SX-1 ECU! Best aftermarket ECU out there. Taco Moto set mine up perfectly. Smooth power that just keeps on pulling!

I upgraded KLX300 to 450Rl. Im loving mine!!! I altered my throttle tube by flatening out the first inch or so. That helped the throttle come on a little smoother. Also took off the air box and it seemed to have better response. After some miles the engine broke in and smoothed out. Im sure ill still put an ecu and exhaust on at some point.

I wish Honda would have put the 300L motor in the 450 chasis.

I bought a 300 to serve the farm an quick trips to town n back progressive springs for a suspension upgrade front n back for 300 bucks that’ll make it capable enough for what I’m gonna do with it I’m not putting stupid money trying to rope that unicorn defeats the point of it being cheap but capable bike I agree jus buy the 450 if your serious about hauling ass on trails and being somewhat road friendly from a to b

Love my 450 RL it is a blast. Put 2k miles on it before you do any thing. Raise the idle to factory spec all is good.

That’s why Honda builds both I went with the 300 and suspension the bars are fine unless you crash and bend them the power is fine for most I’m coming off a KTM 530 55 ish hp with crazy short service intervals I did full k-tech suspension some protection stuff my 2023 was $6700 out the door suspension $1900 installed I don’t count the protection items like skid plate hand guards frame gears as both bikes need that so I’m a solid $3 k less handling similar and yes less power but ask yourself do you really need it to be honest I didn’t I love the smoothness the long service intervals the reliability the fuel range the 300 is great for back roads two tracks and “trail” riding. If your an enduro racer by the race bike

No arguments both are great bikes. I hope I didn’t come off saying the 450 was a better bike overall. The CRF 300 is an absolute gem. I was just explaining my thoughts what was gonna work me and try and explain some of the key differences between the two.

I owned a 250L Rally. Traded it for the 450RL. Do I miss the Rally yes. Is the 450 a keeper? Yes.

I'm looking to buy my first bike and these 2 are like my heart and mind at war 😂 I'm wondering if dual sports are a waste of time as owners always end up compromising. I feel like I'd be better off buying a road and dirt bike that way I get good service intervals on my road bike but can really make the most of learning to ride off road on a lighter, more fit for purpose bike off road

I bought a 2024 Yamaha WR450F its a lot lighter has a lot more HP and I didn't have to buy a vortex ECU , a new exhaust, new tires and everything else to make it run and ride good also it has KYB suspension. It all depends what you want and what kind of riding you do. I ride at least 90% off road.
