Honda CRF300L vs Kawasaki KLX300 (Now That I've Ridden Both Off Road)

The Honda CRF300L and Kawasaki KLX300 are two of the best values in dual sport motorcycles. Both are capable, easy to ride, incredibly reliable, and affordable for most riders. For new and intermediate riders looking for the best entry level dual sport motorcycle, KLX 300 vs CRF 300L is quite a dilemma. On paper, Honda CRF300L vs KLX300 is a dead heat. But once you ride both the KLX and the CRF, how do they actually feel? Which of these beginner dual sport motorcycles is the best choice?

I've now spent extensive time both with the Honda CRF300L off road and the Kawasaki KLX 300 off road and I am ready to give my complete and honest opinion about which is best beginner dual sport.

At the end of the day, KLX300 vs CRF300 is a close match for a reason. These bikes are basically the same. There's honestly very little reason to choose one over the other because the feeling of riding both dual sports off road is the same. They're both capable but slow, bulletproof but undersprung, and inexpensive but with a clear limitations both on and off road.
