Congratulations on the new bike man! I'm 5'.9" myself. I've ridden a Suzuki DR350S for 20 years. A couple years ago I lowered it and it changed the game. A low seat concepts and a 2" lowering link fixed it right up. Clean you out a corner and keep that little trail man, break the rules and have 3! I have the DR350S, Himmy, CT110, Ct125, Yamaha QT50, and the TW200 and love to ride them all! Good stuff man. Look forward to the adventures on it!
Great choice!!! I’m looking at the XR150L. Honda has some great new bikes for this year!!
Good choice! I’ve got a Himmy (love it) but am also very interested in something lighter and more trail-oriented. Looking forward to your ride reports.
Ah mate! Does this new bike maybe tick a lot of boxes that BOTH the trail and the Himalayan did? Lightweight of the Trail and maybe more power than the Himalayan? Are you going to be in the market to replace that? I mean that 300 is a lovely looking bike, very envious here. And you've got a new project too, so much fun, nice choice I think :))))))
Looks awesome!!! Sad to see the trail go but glad to see you found something cool to fill that gap
First off I'm a respiratory therapist so 84%, holy cow glad you are ok and that was amazing that you finished the race. Also that new 300s looks amazing and I can't wait to see more content. For the Himalayan have you ever considered doing any performance mods? I got a fuel tuner, high flow filter, and exhaust and I can easily do 75mph. I am going to do the cam over the winter just to see if i can get the reves further down.
Intriguing video!! When you started I had thought a Honda would be a very likely candidate. Like you I am 5ft 9in and inside leg 32 and I have tried a Rallye and aslo felt it was too high. I hadn't appreciated there was an "S" version available. I also have a Himalayan and when you started talking about only having two bikes I was convinced that was the one to be going. Looking forward to future videos.
Congratulations on your new toy! Stay safe and have fun!
Awesome! Congrats on the new bike. I am excited for you. Also, glad you survived your Colorado run and hope you recover soon.
Glad your feeling much better.
Could not believe you even considered parting ways with the Honda Trail. What a perfect find John on this new Honda. Love the color scheme and It's not all loaded down with plastic. Chances are the Himalayan may sit now😢.
Stay Healthy. Looking forward to a video on your new addition.
Color is Swift Grey. $5700.00. 311Lbs.
What a contender! ( LS )
Brilliant!
My first bike was a CRF 250L. It was just too tall for me at 34 inches and the seat was not comfortable at all for my fat old butt. It was a super nice bike though. I traded it for my HD but I still wanted a dual sport for my height so I got a Yamaha TW 200 which fits me perfectly but too slow for the main highways. Im very interested in the CRF300LS but I'm afraid it might have that same narrow uncomfortable seat. Let me know what you think about the seat.
Hi John, here in Germany we are waiting for the new Triumph Scrambler 400X. This could be alternative bike for the Himalayan, but believe me, the mod’s you made on your Himalayan are hardly to do with a Scrambler or any bike else. I share the same thoughts and decided to stay with the Himalayan for the next time . Stay healthy at least.
Phew, you almost lost a follower… Haha, gotta keep that himmi ! Congrats on the new ride, that should do the trick for the trail fix. I hope you get your O2 back up.
Humm, Sorry, But It don't look like it goes to me!. but it's a very nice and pretty bike!. Maybe if they it in a 400cc + would be the cats meow, Then i'd buy one for sure!. To me seems as gutless as the Himi, And yes i rode a new 2022..
I saw this color-scheme the other day and immediately thought of Itchy Boots merch color scheme. I really like the grey/orange. I wish Honda would make the Rally in this color. Nice bike, I've been eyeing them as a replacement for my Himi. Enjoy the new ride!
I found your channel a few weeks ago while I was going down the Trailer Rider rabbit hole. I've since bought one, and am quite happy with it. Your maintenance videos will be a big help in the future for me I am sure. Thanks for making so much informative content on this bike.
