Passed 2000km this past week. Saturday with the colder clear skies I took a spur of the moment ride into the farms to go see the sunset. Bit of streaking on the phone's lens, but beautiful colors while the sun went down.

Here we go...

Was also under the impression that she upgraded the suspension, but it's not on her list after the major service in Alaska. Not sure how up to date this is, but... https://www.itchyboots.com/blog/my-upgraded-honda-crf300l-rally-2-0

I agree. I didnt mean it's priced too high, just that you could find one cheaper, but not this clean with these kms. I got the 300 in Dec, but I was actually waiting for him to sell at the end of last year and would've bought this without thinking twice. PM me your number and I can whatsapp...

A friend is selling his Honda CRF 250 Rally and he asked me to post it here as well. He doesn't do dirt and this doesn't have enough power if you're riding tar only. If I didn't have the 300 I would seriously have considered buying it. He's obsessive about cleaning his bikes. It's priced high...

Sold? Just checked and already have some scuff marks on the frame after 2000kms, so might be interested. Didn't really want to add more red to the rally, but these might be worth it. :)

Got a route from someone on the forum, loaded it on the GPS and went for a ride. Had no clue where I was going or what the roads were going to be like. (I did remember to check fuel this time). Nice open dirt roads, some single-track, some sketchy buildings in the middle of nowhere, some...

Surprised at how many people ride on repeat learners. I'm glad to see I'm not the only. Have a couple of months left on the current learners. Last learners was on tablet which I found it a bit more tricky. Have been planning to do full license this year. Would like to do at least one proper...

Wasn't on reserve yet, but still getting used to the range. It was more a matter of knowing how far I could go BEFORE reserve, but based on how much it took to fill up, I had quite a bit to go before hitting reserve. If I had done trip reset on the last fill-up I would've been less concerned.

Thanks for all the replies re the fuel gauge/usage. Bad planning for my ride on Sat, self-inflicted, didn't check fuel gauge when I left home, and also forgot to reset my trip meter on last fill-up. Was quite a way out of town and rode about 40 or 50km after it hit one bar. On fill-up it only...

According to my book the 300 services are only at 1000, 12000, 24000... intervals. Edit: That's according to the maintenance schedule. I will be doing more frequent air filter and oil services.

Any estimate of how far one can still go when it hits one bar on the fuel guage? Cut my planned trip a bit short today, forgot to check fuel before I left, and didn't want to push my luck. :)

Thanks, but I ended up ordering a Cardo.

Maybe I shouldn't refer to it as the US version, not sure how they decide who gets which spec. Probably mostly cosmetic, but we get a similar L to the US and Europe, but the L in Aus looks a lot more like the 450 with LED lights and indicators. Looks quite a bit different. With the Rally we get...

Was searching for some accessories and I saw the price for the 300 L and Rally is up by a grand or two now. I see there's some fotos of the 2024 Rally on SA sites with the big non-LED indicators. Is SA now going to get the "US version", or would that just be the fotos they're using? The small...

Interesting, thanks. Haven't decided yet, but Flying Brick offers 20mm and 30mm lowered pegs as far as I remember.

Looks like a nice ride. I fitted 30mm bar risers last week. Had to "play" a bit with some of the cables, no problems. Much better, but I am wondering whether "offset" risers moving the bars further away might have been a better option. Still considering an extra 10 or 20 mm, but if I do that...

Doesn't help you with your question, but I have laminated color copy on the bike. Also have the original that I carry with me in case someone notices or questions the copy at a stop. Hasn't been needed yet.

Appreciate all the feedback. (y)

I've been considering some body armor for a while. After this weekend's ride, and taking an hour yesterday washing red dust out of my adventure jacket, I'm considering it even more. I'm figuring at the speeds I ride dirt, the body armor with a MX shirt should be enough upper body protection...
