Honda CRF300L Supermoto Walk-Around Video

One of the biggest benefits to buying a dual sport bike like the Honda CRF300L is that it can be two bikes in one… with the stock knobbies, you have a capable off-road bike, and by adding a set of 17″ supermoto wheels and tires, you can also have a capable corner carver and/or commuter for the street. For street riding, with 17″ wheels and sticky tires, you will quickly discover that the CRF300L will handle much better and is more fun to ride. The lower center of gravity, smaller 17″ front tire, and stickier rubber just makes for a better street bike… it totally transforms the way it rides. Our 2021 Honda CRF300L started out as a dual sport bike, straight off the showroom floor, but later we decided to convert it to a supermoto and this is the end result.

    SUSPENSION…

    For my weight, and the type of riding I do, the stock CRF300L suspension was way too soft and lacks any way to adjust it, aside from rear pre-load. So, we did Race Tech’s Front Fork Spring Kit and Gold Valves for the front forks, and replaced the stock rear shock with Race Tech’s Internal Reservoir G3-S shock. What a difference this stuff makes. The bike now has proper dirt bike suspension, that is setup for my weight and riding, plus it has further adjust-ability if I see that as necessary in the future.
