Honda CRF 300 L?

[krabicriminal]

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has any idea if this bike could be in the pipeline for 2017?

[Namplik]

No CRF 300 L, but the CRF 250 Rally might come next year http://www.advpulse.com/adv-bikes/honda-crf250-rally-prototype/

It's coming up for its 5 year model run so you would think something must change. They can't just keep swapping coloured plastic parts around forever!

[papa al]

has the 250L already been discontinued or did i just dream that?

I've been waiting for the crf300 m as my next bike. Maybe soon?

You can buy the 250 new for 137k. Second hand you can get good low milage ones with performance mods that would equal a stock 300 for 100-120k. The 300 would be 150 k+ new stock. Add the usual performance parts and your over 170k. Unless your desperate for more performance go a modded 250 and save 70k. Or use some of that for a 300 kit for the 250.

A new 300 will possibly have some different body panels and looks etc but don't expect any performance upgrade suspension, frame or weight wise.

Honda have thrown a huge amount of money at this engine , trying to sort out the reliability problems , so i cant see them releasing another model using the same engine.It has been changed so much , it became a "300". Point of intrest , the real capacity of this engine is closer to a 275 cc . Performance upgrades could be made , or simply buy a Kawasaki KLX , and go for a real 300 cc big bore kit.

[Bung]

Unless they release a 400/450 I can't see the point in running out and trading your 250 on a 300.

CRF250L or 250M are the same since 2014

in 2016 have new CRF250R or 450R

[Bung]

Same since 2012. I got one of the first ones. The CRF250 R are a different model altogether. Enduro and motor. No registration to ride on the road.

[Bung]

Sorry, just read that again and realised I misunderstood. The "M" model was released in 2014.

You can easily get the 300cc Bore kit and upgrade it to a 300 right now. Many have done it already!

Remember it is a CBR 250 motor in a Dual Sport frame. Mechanically it's a Honda CBR 250 motor.

nope, it's a modified 250.

[Bung]

And originally an M model.(black frame) Not that it makes much difference but I know the suspension settings are not the same.

A CRF300L would hardly be a new model as they would just make minor changes to the engine to bring the capacity up.

What would be really interesting would be the introduction of a 'real' CRF enduro like a 450X

But I'm not getting any hopes up!

Yes, the CRF 250 engine does not meet the new Euro 4 emission requirements. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2016/january/mcn-plus---emissions-impossible-what-euro-4-really-means/

I talked to a dealer in Oslo a few weeks back and they will not sell CRF 250 next year. But they did mention 250 Rally as a possibility, but did not know anything yet..

[bramds]

They should come with an Africa single

[Rhys]

Bring back the SL 350.,...

[krabicriminal]

It seems the rally model Namplik mentioned may be in production. I just hope they put a bigger engine in it. It looks like alot of weight for the current 250cc..
