@@retrom I have over 2000 miles on my CRF now and I feel like I made the right decision. It’s a great bike. I just got to get a new seat. 8 hours on the factory seat is torture. 😆 Thanks for watching and stay safe out there.
Water-cooled engines usually can run higher compression, making more torque & power, than air-cooled engines; for instance, the KLX230 uses 9.4:1 compression vs. 10.7:1 in the CRF300. Your weight is about ideal i.e. close to Japanese manufacturers average rider weight design assumptions. As you push the suspension, riding faster over obstacles, you will experience the CRF300 'pogo effect' and bottoming out. However, if you're not one to ride that hard, you'll find the CRF300 suspension to be nicely luxurious; Honda is smart about designing their suspensions for average, rather than hard/fast, riders ... just one reason why Honda outsells most competitors combined! Nice, objective Review, btw. I hope you enjoy your new bike; you're lucky to have it as they are hard to find/acquire, especially without paying outrageous dealer premium prices.
Thanks, thats an awesome explanation. I appreciate you responding. I tried to get a used one but you almost had to be in the dealership when it arrived. Thanks for watching.

Thanks, was deciding between the two myself. The CRF has better gear changes because of the quick shifter slipper in the CRF300l models
