Honda CRF300L
Honda has announced a new CRF300L for some markets (but not yet for North America).
I like what has been happening in the Japanese 250cc dual sport bike class recently. First, Kawasaki upped their 250 to a 300. Now Honda has increased their 250 to a 300 also – and will hopefully bring it to the US market soon. Yamaha announced the end of production for the WR250R. Are they about to bring out a 300 too? Time will tell…
2021 Kawasaki KLX 300 dual sport
250 cc dual sport motorcycles are nice but 300 is better. Which is what Kawasaki has decided to do for 2021 – bump the KLX250 all the way up to 300cc (actually 292cc but rounded to 300 because it sounds better).
The specs: 21/18 tire combo, 10 inches front suspension travel, 9.8 inches of ground clearance, 2 gallon gas tank, and a claimed weight of 302 lbs. MSRP of $5799.

The end of the Yamaha WR250R
Looks like 2020 will be the last year of production for the WR250R. If you’ve been meaning to buy one, now is the time.
