krabicriminal Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Hi all, just wondering if anyone has any idea if this bike could be in the pipeline for 2017? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namplik Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 No CRF 300 L, but the CRF 250 Rally might come next year http://www.advpulse.com/adv-bikes/honda-crf250-rally-prototype/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bung Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 has the 250L already been discontinued or did i just dream that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augustwest Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I've been waiting for the crf300 m as my next bike. Maybe soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bung Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 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.

ktm jeff Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 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 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Unless they release a 400/450 I can't see the point in running out and trading your 250 on a 300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbas400 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 CRF250L or 250M are the same since 2014 in 2016 have new CRF250R or 450R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bung Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bung Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Sorry, just read that again and realised I misunderstood. The "M" model was released in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited July 11, 2016 by Manny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bung Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 And originally an M model.(black frame) Not that it makes much difference but I know the suspension settings are not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denkiblue555 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namplik Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 has the 250L already been discontinued or did i just dream that? 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramds Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 They should come with an Africa single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhys Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Bring back the SL 350.,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krabicriminal Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
