Honda Motor Company has been a major player in dual sport motorcycle development for decades. Dating back to Baja legends such as the CL72 Scrambler and off-road-only XR600R (which Big Red took the chassis from to place in its venerable XR650L), the Japanese manufacturer has proven pedigree in the segment.
Today, Honda’s dual purpose lineup consists of its CRF450RL street-legal dirt bike, the legendary XR650L, entry-level XR150L, and the popular CRF300L—successor to the CRF250L. Since its debut in 2021, the CRF300L has not received any mechanical updates, but still manages to be a leader in the class.
