Honda
CRF300L
Honda's CRF300L is the lightest and most approachable dual-sport in the Japanese 300 class at 311 lb with a 286cc fuel-injected engine and assist/slipper clutch — the LS variant drops the seat to 32.7 inches, the lowest available in the segment. Suspension is softly sprung and power is adequate for trail use but underwhelming for sustained highway; this is a trail-access bike optimized for off-road approachability, not commuting range.
