Does the Honda XRE 300 have the chops for serious off-road riding, or is it a street-biased adventure bike?

The XRE 300 feels heavy and underpowered off-road, compared to something like a CRF450L. In my opinion, it's more of an 80/20 street/dirt bike.

Don't underestimate it! I have seen XRE 300s stay with bigger bikes on off-road tours. Skill is all that matters.

In fact, the air-cooled engine is, actually, an advantage off-road. If you’re in the middle of nowhere, fewer things going wrong is always a good thing.

In my opinion, this is ideal for adventure riding, which includes both on- and off-road stages. It does neither of them very well, but manages to do both well enough.
Should you buy the Honda XRE 300 instead of the CRF300L Rally for long-distance adventure riding?

For long-distance adventures, the XRE 300 is the way to go. It's a tank built, and it has better fuel efficiency. The ones I've taken, on multiple 1000+ mile trips, have worked out just fine.

The CRF300L Rally is the better way, no way. It's much better for highway stretches—it has an extra gear and liquid cooling. It's also easier to find parts globally, plus.

In South America, I’d argue the XRE 300 is better. They are set up for those roads and conditions, and every mechanic there knows how to work on them.

Better suspension travel and ground clearance is what the CRF300L Rally has. If you're thinking of any serious off-road sections, it is the clear winner.

They’re both great choices, honestly. Longer rides are better on the XRE 300, but the CRF300L Rally offers more when the going gets rough.

I have ridden both, and to me, the XRE 300 is the simpler one. On the road, air-cooled engines are much easier to maintain, and that matters on long trips.

The windscreen and larger fuel tank on the CRF300L Rally make it a better machine for long-distance travel. And those features alone make it tip in its favor.

I love the idea! It will make city riding so much easier, particularly in heavy traffic.

I'm not sure about this. It’s part of the fun of riding—the clutch control.

For someone with hand issues, the E-Clutch could be the difference maker for longer rides.

I wonder if it’s going to ruin the bike’s reliability. The more electronics you have, the more potential issues you have.

But I hope that it doesn’t give people an excuse to be lazy about learning proper technique since it’s great for beginners.

I test rode one, and it’s actually fairly intuitive. You still have a connection to the bike.

But for track days, I'm excited about it. So that might help shave off some lap times.

The tech is cool, but I love the traditional feel of it. Maybe I'm just old school.

It could be great for newer riders who could spend less time on clutch control and more time on road awareness.
