2022 Honda CRF300L | How To See The REAL Countryside
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 май 2022
- The guys at Honda UK sent me this wonderful little CRF300L to play on. I wanted to make sure I made the most of the loan by getting it knee-deep (or sump-deep) in mud and rocks, which is what it's intended for.
It behaves perfectly well on the road, getting to the national speed limit with ease. It sounds really nice whilst still being respectable, and will literally take you anywhere. 10 quid to fill it in the UK, which would last an easy 100 miles.
This bike is a pure joy to ride, and, at a little over £5000, would make a perfect little companion to any machine in your garage!
Thanks to Honda UK for the loan.

I’m getting this bike and I’m 55 years old, as a second fun bike, I kept myself fit for this kind of thing 😊
We bikers are just so young at heart, amazing stuff guys
Some are adventure bikes by name , others are adventure bikes by nature.
Itchy boots does a good job on her CRF 300 going places you don’t see many adventure bikes.
All the laughter in this video is contagious! Had a blast watching you guys have a blast on those trails 🙂
Cheers Mark 👍
🤣 Same here
Absolutely brilliant, especially Pete breaking out the rainbow song, laughing my socks off
Wow, some of those trail bits were hard core! Makes me wish I knew how to ride trails! That was so cool, especially the little swimming area. Nice! Thanks for sharing this...very cool.
Wow! What a real bundle of fun that looked Rich. Great little bikes, and amazing trails to ride on and see that fabulous scenery. Thank you👍
Great fun Rich - just watching that has made my shoulders hurt - love the CRF, great bike for good old fashioned motorbike fun......
It’s like itchy boots with the crf.
Itchy scrotes
Great vid as always
Cracking vid Richy. Just shows how little we know our local areas when we start getting off the beaten path. And the little CRF looked the perfect tool for the job.
Brilliant video as usual rich. Love the addition of Pete too
Absolutely loved that lads!! What an advert for these amazing little machines. I had no idea they were this capable. Off out on mine now after watching this!
Pete was kind enough to lend me one of his and took us around his playground ( thanks again Pete 🤩), it doesn’t come naturally to me but it was great fun and a great little bike ,
I own a crf300l was going to sell it for a bigger adventure bike but I think you have just changed my mind and saved me money
Every group is only as fast as the slowest rider, and the money saved on bigger bikes pays for a shit load of fuel :)
And, you save money each time you fuel up too, win win imho :D
Ha ha, Love my T7, but I'm looking at complementing it with a 300 rally. You'll love the power and comfort of a big ADV, you won't love the weight. Dont get me wrong, I love the T7, just a bit heavy to take into unknown terrain when exploring Solo, unless you're a tall strong person.
Thanks a lot for this video, it was really great fun to watch and you really don’t need to go to Picos with that amazing landscapes right outside your home. I bought this small bike last year in October and so far it has been great fun. Only 27 horse power but who cares when it’s so much fun.
Great video Richy!! 😎👍🏻 Love these little bikes, makes me even more tempted to have one myself.
Thank you for this video 😀
I had loads of fun watching you guys having fun
That bike surprised me, watching Itchy Boots....good motor, but good pilot and best adventurer out there 👊
I get an Itchy arse now and again! My advice would definitely be to buy one, you’ll love it! I’ve had the 450L for a year or so now and ride it more than my big naked (no not the missus)! There’s a page on the Derbyshire County Council website telling you where all these lanes are. Great vid Richy!
Looked like great fun and shows how capable the standard bike is, in your hands anyway. I'm sure I'd be on me arse! I can see a 'Little Lass' joining the Big Lad in the garage soon... Cheers matey.
Brilliant vid! Love it.
That was an amazing video....I bet you have one in the garage very soon....loved it!
I ride a WR250R & we are seeing increased numbers of the Honda CRF300L & 300Rally in our group, they do need a little work but a pretty good package....we are lucky here in Australia as there are heaps of summer tracks / dry weather roads & or lanes. Good to see you enjoy the ride
Fantastic Review on a cracking Bike Rich 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🏍👍🏻
Great stuff Richy, get yourself one for sure. They are great bikes and like me, you are lucky to have the peaks on our doorstep.
Probably the best video for anyone in the UK looking to buy a fun green lane bike. Really shows off the capabilities of the CRF300l. I pick mine up in a couple of weeks. So glad I saw this, thanks guys.
Did you get it?
@@41933 Yes, I did. Picked it up last Friday. Got one in the grey colour with the Honda skid plate protection and took it out green laning on Sunday. I'm a bit of a novice and my riding mates took me down some muddy 4x4 tracks that were well over the footpeg depth, came off on a muddy hairpin corner but nothing damaged on me or the bike. Great fun, waiting for it to stop raining to go and play on Salisbury Plain, which is less than 10miles from my house. This video certainly helped me make my mind up to get one, thanks again.
Brilliant that lads! Titting about on the lanes, those bikes just lapped it all up! Great skills btw
Great Video Richy well done love it when you an Pete get out! cheers matey
Great stuff. Yr off-road skills have improved remarkably. Such a fun toy the 300 is isn't it. Enjoyed that
Tim totally agrees with you. He says he needs one in his garage! ❤️Xxx
You did fantastically well on the stock crf. Upgrade rear shock for £250 and it transforms the suspension and handling on and off road. It’s a brilliant bike and that’s why there is a long wait for a new one👍
Bloody hell, you’ve done it again; created a want for something I didn’t know I needed!
Walked to Three Shires Head a few times with the dog. Idyllic place, didn’t know you could ride there! On the bike I didn’t know I was missing…
What a lovely ride! Thanks!
Looks like an awesome day!!!
Great scenery,great video. Thanks Manxman 👍🇮🇲
Well that’s me now looking at a crf300l 😂 brilliant display of what this bikes about mate, looks a blast! 👍
That looked like absolutely brilliant craic, to quote Mr Vida, mega.
It's not surprising that Itchy Boots choose one to do the Americas with. Great video Richy, looked like a laugh.
I have been looking at the CRF300L for a while now to compliment my Kawasaki Versys, I finally took the plunge after watching this video. I was lucky that I got a cancelled order available immediately. I have now taken it off road twice and love it. It may well be the most fun I have had on a bike! Thanks for the video 👍🏻
Congrats! Lucky to get a cancelled order!
What an awesome video. Brilliant fun and laughter, great 😂
And yes that bike looks the part and plays the part nicely.
Wish I’d got one of them and kept the older AT..
I want one 😢 😂.
Well okay more hours and it will be done lol….
Thanks Richy. Brilliant all round episode.
It was as fantastic as your Spain and Skye videos.
Love what you do. And you know what you too..
Can praise you enough..
Thanks thanks thank you 👍
Thank you, Sir!
a flat, smooth unpaved road is not off roading, now lads this is a perfect example of off roading... if you are not going to use this type of motorbikes on a rough terrain , then do not buy/ride an offroad motorbike at all... thanks guys for another adventure and great content. keep it coming and more power to you and your channel
Absolutely beautiful scenery and lovely bikes and banter 👌 subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
What a blast that looked Richy. We don't have green lanes in Scotland (I don't think we do anyway), although the Missenden flyer did the three Lochs challenge on his crf. I think the laws are very different in England. Stay safe buddy.
Great video guys. Best green lanes I've ever seen. Im from Australia, where we ride firetrails, dirt roads and tracks between them, so the idea of green lanes seems limiting, but that was awesome. I guess its like anything, you've just got to know where the good stuff is.
Proper riding fun.Thanks.
Phew I’m exhausted just watching 🤣top vid fella’s,, ‘twas a touch moist in parts 🤔🤦♂️
Ride Safe Mr B🤘😎
Great job Rich! I have the 250l, now just have to find a300 around here ( Atlanta)
Excellent !!
One minute in. I’ll stop there and when I’m home on the big screen.
Been looking forwards to this one.
Love this bike. And well who’s the best man to get a rundown of it ?
👍👍👍
Pete just goes for it wherever he is. Where others turn back he's off! Great vid. Thought would love off roading but went to Spain for a 3 dayer and hated it. At least I tried it I suppose. May need some proper training
Sounds like you had a good time,it looks too much fun
I love the crf 300L. I need one.
great video you definitely need one in your garage Rich , i’ve the Rallye version what you didn’t say was 85 mpg minimum 😉👍
Nice one Richie.....
Been looking at these with interest as I've become quite fond of small, nimble bikes!
I've lived in Derbyshire all my life, there are some amazing places you'll only find when you go off road either on a motorbike, mountain bike or with your walking boots on.
Superb!
Cool video
Hi Richy - I ordered one of these last summer and got it in January, I love it even if I don't match the bikes capabilities., it's like having the shetland pony to keep the thoroughbred street bike company, definitely find room in your garage for one! See you at the Wildbad weekender again! this year.
Nice one, see you soon, Brian!
Realy enjoyed the video, something different.
Was up there a few months ago Rich, two lads on GS 1200s came through the same path. Great place got a few good photos on that day
Lots of big ADV bikes do these lanes with us, picking lines a little more carefully but they also 'roll' over the 'babies heads' (stupid boulders lol) easier than our lighter bikes that get deflected.
Swings and roundabouts.
I've took a 1990's Pegaso 650 on 19" front wheel over every lane in the Peaks (except Back Lane at Two Dales when it was still bad, it's tarmac now though)
Top video🔝👌lovely bikes
More of this please👍
Lovely performance from that bike in those conditions! It almost had a trial run as submarine too... 😉
Impressive riding, thank you ........Sal : )
Looked great, cracking bike for proper off roading, I'd be in ditch most of time 🤣 👍👍👍
great vid as always rich...this looked way to much fun. its a shame that it has had to go back but im sure you will fill the hole in the garage soon. it would be great if you could take the ATAS down roads like this but its just far to heavy in my opinion. amazing vid again
The AT CAN! I’m already itching to take the Big Lad through!
Those little Hondas are bikes that makes you happy, true happybikes.
And yes I have one, next to a 690, could not part with the little Honda 🤗
I'm glad your getting into it more. Mongolia is coming
This was almost a Itchy boots episode!! 👍🏻😊
I've done this on my CRF250, and also on my Honda Grom, awesome set of lanes 😎 you could have just followed the TET route out of Buxton as I suggested in a previous comment though m8. Got some cracking lanes round your way 👌
The TET is a cracking tool, but if you're staying local rather than on an A-B run, it misses out a shit load of cracking lanes.
Although, I was out yesterday and they've been 'sanitising' a few more (School Lane, Gt Hucknall, the lane behind The Barrel Inn, and the lane down near The Waterloo Inn on the A6 (Taddington) have all been sanitised this week)
After that vid Richy Honda should give you the bike what an advert for the mighty CRF
I had an XR650L and had to sell it. I really miss it and have considered possibly getting one of these in the future. The 300 sitting lower and being lighter would undoubtedly be easier to handle on the trail.
What a brilliant bike the 300L is. Since getting mine I have been neglecting my R1250GS, Harley Fat Bob 114, Energica Ribelle even my lovely GSX1400. The Honda is too much fun, and surprisingly brilliant on the tarmac; perfect for little roads anywhere. (I spent around £650 on new suspension too which transformed the bike) still the best fun per £££ out there.
Wow, quite the collection there! 🙌
@@RichyVida with age and grey hair comes bikes! 👍 Great vid BTW, I am useless off road on mine and recon those trails you went on would have caused me some wobbles. Keep em comin’
I love how you have promoted GLASS as they are a great organisation, I am also a member, but they are mainly for 4x4 trails. I am also a member of the Trail Riders Fellowship which if 2 wheel riding on trails is your main hobby, they are just as worthy, if not more! They also now have a map of the Uk with all legal trails!
Is their map similar to the TR2 one?
You got so many great riding roads of all kinds there. 🤓😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🥂
The laughter said it all.
Just rewatching this. You NEED a CRF Mr V. Awesome cheap fun. 👍👍
I do!
Wish you would add my 3 words as I would never find that lol. Looks great
Brill to watch, you def need a little dirtybike in your garage.... so much fun!
Ace to see you and Pete out exploring. Def want to get some decent boots if riding lanes like this more often though! :-)
Maybe one day!
@@RichyVida 🙂
More of this please, get one bought Mr vida....
I think honda uk could use this video for a good sale pitch great video 👍👍👍👍👍👍
That CRF is a cracking little bike, makes me want an off roader so I can get caked I'm mud and stagnant water
The chosen bike ( Rally ) by Itchy Boots herself ! Her journeys are amazing 👍
I just know the 1st lane as 'The V lane' between A54 and A53/537.
@4:30 - that lane is called 'Cumberland Cottage' - not sure if you've missed Macc Forest out or are coming back to it later, so I'll watch the vid.
Nope, looks like you missed them, I'll add locations below for you Richy - they may not be on Trail Wise (I think Charity Lane is, but maybe not Crooked Yard Lane, which is too narrow for 4x4s)
I've took a 90's Aprilia Pegaso 650 with 19" front wheel up there, it's actually not bad on the bigger bikes, Africa Twins, GS1200's and KTM990s etc are all regulars with us over there (and 3 shires etc)
@9:50 - 3 shires is a legendary lane - there's also 'Eagle and Child' (Heild Lane) further down the main road - you may do it next, so I'll continue to watch lol - yep, you found it, the lane after your cake at Flash Bar Stores :)
Camera doesn't have 'flatten' things out eh? Looks easier on vid, credit to your riding too - we all know Pete is good lol :)
@17:50 - Clough Brook, my DR's had a bath in there (yes, I also joined it for a bath, gotta be romantic lol) - too soon Pete (Premature Pete lol) at @18:35, just a bit further down, yeah, where you showed Richy. @19:50 - believe it or not, that used to be bone dry there, these days it's deeper than the river in full flow.
@22:55 - Old Macclesfield Road (Or Macc Old Road), there's been a few injuries on there lol
The 300L is excellent (I had a 250 Rally, and the 300L is much better), but handlebars are weak, so replace them with Renthal (and, if you go for the 'fatty' bars and adapter kit, it raises the bars up a bit too), sump guard is a MUST, hand guard (barkbusters) and radiator guard are advised, and after that, just fuel and run. -1t front sprocket gives them a bit more pulling power on the steeper climbs.
Cheers Wayne!
I have no idea how England can afford to pave those trails with so many rocks....... many look darn expensive! Huge! :^)
Fantastic clip ,Shame we can’t do the same in Scotland
Regards
Dave
Looks/sounds like so much fun! Also cool to know these trails are 'open/available' - how did you find out about them? Any restrictions on riding (e.g. could you take a GSA if you really wanted to)?
You could get away with it, but defo more for the lighter bikes.
Brilliant and they take a fair bit of punishment looking at itchys videos lol
Nice bike is this the same bike as itchy boots rides brilliant
I bought a 300l don't miss my Harley @ all
Fun
mate riding the dirt off road trails are a good way to stay fit cos they can take a lot out of you when riding
It’s surprising what gems you find on your own patch ,when you take a different turning off the main drag . I am quite tempted to prize open my wallet ,watch the moths fly out ,& treat myself to a Honda CRF 300 Rally after watching your vid 👍
I wish my closest dealership accepted moths for the bike.
ItchyRichy.
hahaha both brilliant comments!
Sounds like pete made a bit of a journey, recognise the northeast accent.
I don’t think anywhere is too far to travel on the bike for Pete!
@@RichyVida would be nice to have something like that as a second bike, nice and light for the trails.
Is this going to be the Rideout route for the wildbad Weekender this year rich? Lmao 🤣
Hahaha “it’s just up here…”
@@RichyVida Be a interesting ride lmao
You know, it seems you can have a Blast on any size of motorbike!🤔
Did you eventually buy the 300. I have a nice 300 rally if u are interested
Drop me an email rich@wildbadtouring.com
300l or the Mash 650? what does it better?
The CRF is better suited.
Us locals do it on mountain bikes
