Greenlaning

[karlp]

Thinking about getting one of these for light green landing / fire roads

It will go alongside my GS1300.

I have read some good reports but what are they like overall.

It will never be a long distance tourer but I would not be buying it for that.

I would not buy KTM

I have also noticed some good deals going.

CRF 300 L would make a better choice

I’d go along with that, but not exclude a CRF250. With the right modifications they are excellent trail and lightweight adventure bikes.

I looked quite seriously at a 310 for greenlaning and spoke to lots of people with more knowledge and experience.

The consensus was that it’s really designed as a road bike and, although plenty of people make bits to improve it, there are better choices.

I got a CRF 300 Rally and fitted Rally Raid suspension (plus a stack of other stuff) and it has served me very well.

Noticed your location - have you joined the Southern TRF group?

Thank you all for the replies

I have not joined the TRF - maybe worth while

Makes things a lot easier to find lanes to ride. Either by following someone who knows where they are going or by using their Green Road Map.

Definitely - I’m a member of Southern and there’s some really helpful run leaders who’ve shown me some good lanes
