Honda’s popular CRF300L will be available in this new grey colour with a black frame, as well as the standard red for 2023, and both will come with hand guards as standard.

Honda’s lightweight dual-purpose tool, the CRF300L, is designed as a bike that is equally manoeuvrable off road as it is in town. Its enduring popularity since launch as the CRF250L in 2012 was boosted further when it received a 50cc capacity increase and 4kg weight loss for 20YM. Its success relies on several factors: instantly-recognisable sharp-edged CRF styling, a responsive single-cylinder engine, six-speed gearbox with slipper clutch control, a responsive agile frame, slim proportions and long travel suspension.  

For 23YM the CRF300L receives an all-new Swift Gray colour, with new black knuckle guards and orange graphics as standard. This joins the traditional Extreme Red colour scheme, which itself now wears standard-fit colour-matched knuckle guards.

There is a Thai-spec version of the bike that comes with a Yoshimura slip-on silencer, but this is not coming to the UK. This is made under licence in Thailand and isn’t the full-spec Yoshi system.
