Honda CRF 300L – 286cc Liquid-Cooled Single | 140kg | Available Now at Albany Motorcycles

The 2023 Honda CRF 300L represents everything a modern dual-sport motorcycle should be: lightweight, capable, and genuinely fun. Whether commuting through Albany’s streets, exploring coastal fire trails, or tackling Stirling Range tracks, this CRF 300L delivers go-anywhere capability with Honda’s legendary reliability. LAMS approved and barely run-in, this is dual-sport riding at its accessible best.

Why the CRF 300L is Albany’s Perfect Dual-Sport

The Honda CRF 300L isn’t trying to be everything to everyone—it’s focused on being the best lightweight dual-sport you can buy. At just 140kg, it’s nimble enough for technical singletrack yet stable enough for highway riding to Esperance. The 286cc liquid-cooled DOHC single delivers 19.6kW and 26.1Nm of usable torque—perfect power for both dirt exploration and sealed road adventures throughout the Great Southern.

For riders wanting genuine off-road capability without sacrificing on-road manners, the CRF 300L hits the sweet spot. The motocross-inspired chassis, inverted forks, and slim proportions make it feel at home on trails, while the six-speed gearbox, ABS brakes, and comfortable ergonomics ensure highway rides are effortless.

LAMS Approved for New Riders, Loved by Experienced Ones

LAMS approval opens the CRF 300L to new riders, but don’t mistake accessibility for lack of capability. Experienced riders consistently praise the 300L for its agile handling, confidence-inspiring power delivery, and genuine off-road credentials. The 880mm seat height is manageable for most riders, while the narrow midsection and light weight make stops easy and control natural.

Built for Real-World Adventure

Honda’s 286cc liquid-cooled single delivers smooth, linear power from low revs through to highway speeds. Short gear ratios in first through fifth provide snappy acceleration on trails, while the tall sixth gear allows relaxed cruising and excellent fuel economy—expect around 30km per litre for genuine 200km+ range from the 7.8-litre tank.

The assist/slipper clutch reduces lever effort by 20% while managing rear wheel chatter during downshifts—perfect for technical trails or stop-start traffic. Electronic fuel injection ensures reliable cold starts every Albany morning.

Suspension That Handles Everything

The 43mm inverted front fork delivers 260mm of plush travel that soaks up everything from potholed streets to rocky trails. Honda’s Pro-Link rear suspension provides excellent traction whether you’re loaded with camping gear or pushing through Porongurup trails.

Two-channel ABS comes standard with switchable rear ABS—full ABS for sealed roads, rear off for dirt freedom. The 256mm front disc provides strong, progressive stopping power, complemented by a 220mm rear disc.

Modern Features, Classic Capability

LED lighting throughout ensures visibility day and night, while flexibly-mounted LED indicators survive off-road impacts. The crisp LCD instrument display shows gear position, fuel consumption, average speed, and essential riding data at a glance. All the tech you need, none of the complexity you don’t.

The redesigned steel frame and aluminium swingarm shed weight while maintaining strength for real-world use. Ground clearance is generous, allowing confident navigation of ruts, rocks, and obstacles. CRF motocross-inspired styling looks purposeful whether parked at Middleton Beach or deep in the forest.
