2023 HONDA CRF300L BIG WHEEL CONVERSION

BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 181 MILES, CNC BILLET ALUMINUM – OVER $13,000 INVESTED – LIKE NEW!

EXTREMELY RARE BIG WHEEL CONVERSION | PROFESSIONALLY BUILT | STREET-DRIVEN ONLY | ALL ORIGINAL FACTORY PARTS INCLUDED!

FEAST YOUR EYES ON ONE OF THE MOST BADASS HONDA CRF300Ls YOU WILL EVER SEE!

FOUR-SEASON FUN – SNOW, SAND, DIRT AND MORE!

One of the most exciting things about a Big Wheel motorcycle is its versatility.

With its aggressive oversized tires, this machine offers a unique riding experience that makes it a fascinating recreational motorcycle for a variety of environments.

Imagine cruising around your property, exploring sandy trails, navigating muddy terrain, or enjoying recreational winter riding where conditions permit.

The oversized tires provide a unique footprint, and the motorcycle has an unmistakable look that attracts attention wherever it goes.

In fact, when we were riding this machine around our facility, four neighborhood kids immediately came over to see what it was!

They had never seen anything quite like it.

That is the appeal of this motorcycle. It is not just another Honda CRF300L. It is a conversation piece, a showpiece, and an incredibly fun-looking recreational machine rolled into one!

Kaplan Cycles is proud to offer this absolutely spectacular 2023 Honda CRF300L Big Wheel, featuring a professionally installed, premium aftermarket Big Wheel conversion that completely transforms Honda's legendary dual-sport motorcycle into an incredible, oversized-tire machine that looks like something straight out of the glory days of the 1980s!

If you remember the iconic Yamaha BW350 Big Wheel motorcycles and the three-wheeler craze of the 1980s, you're going to love this machine!

This is a modern interpretation of those legendary fat-tire motorcycles, combining Honda's proven liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 300cc engine with massive oversized tires, beautiful CNC-machined billet aluminum components, and an aggressive stance that absolutely commands attention everywhere it goes.

THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD APPROXIMATELY $13,000 INVESTED IN THIS MOTORCYCLE, AND IT HAS ONLY 181 ORIGINAL MILES!

This is an extraordinary opportunity to purchase a virtually new, professionally converted Big Wheel Honda without paying the substantial cost of buying a new motorcycle, ordering the conversion kit, shipping the components, and having a professional dealership perform the installation.

The expensive work is already done!

PREMIUM BIG WHEEL CONVERSION – A WORK OF ART!

The craftsmanship of this conversion is absolutely outstanding.

The custom CNC-machined aluminum swingarm is a masterpiece of engineering and fabrication. The beautiful billet aluminum construction, precision machining, and substantial dimensions give this motorcycle an unmistakable custom-built appearance.

The massive billet aluminum triple clamps are equally impressive. These are beautifully machined, heavy-duty components that look like they belong on a professional race machine.

The conversion substantially re-engineers the front and rear of the motorcycle to accommodate the enormous oversized tires and wheels.

FEATURES AND HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

• Premium aftermarket Big Wheel conversion kit

• Custom CNC-machined billet aluminum rear swingarm

• Massive precision-machined billet aluminum triple clamps

• Oversized front and rear Big Wheel tire and wheel assemblies

• Aggressive black wheels

• Custom oversized footpegs

• ATC-style front fender

• Professionally installed conversion

• Factory Honda liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine

• Electric start

• Six-speed manual transmission

• Passenger footpegs

• Only 181 original miles

• Excellent, virtually new cosmetic and mechanical condition

• Never ridden off-road

• All original factory conversion takeoff parts included!

The ATC-style front fender gives this motorcycle an especially aggressive appearance, beautifully complementing the factory Honda bodywork and massive front tire.

Everything about this machine makes a statement. From the enormous tires and gorgeous billet aluminum components to the unmistakable Honda styling, it is truly a motorcycle you have to see to appreciate.

OVER $13,000 INVESTED – SAVE THOUSANDS!

The previous owner traded this magnificent machine in toward one of the most expensive Ducatis in our dealership, a Ducati Panigale V4 R, a motorcycle costing over $50,000!

According to the previous owner, he had approximately $13,000 invested in this Honda, including the motorcycle, conversion kit, freight, and professional installation.

The conversion kit alone reportedly retailed for approximately $3,995 when purchased, plus another $450 in shipping!

Add the cost of the New motorcycle and the extensive labor required to perform the conversion, and you can quickly see how the investment adds up.

This is not simply a matter of bolting on a couple of oversized tires.

The conversion requires extensive disassembly and replacement of major front- and rear-end components, including the Forks, Triple Clamps, swingarm, wheels, and associated hardware.

The front and rear chassis components are substantially modified from factory configuration to accommodate the Big Wheel setup.

The result is a unique, professionally assembled motorcycle that would be costly and time-consuming to duplicate.

THIS MOTORCYCLE WILL BE OFFERED FOR SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN THE APPROXIMATE $13,000 ORIGINAL INVESTMENT!

ONLY 181 ORIGINAL MILES – NEVER OFF-ROAD!

This 2023 Honda CRF300L presents in absolutely outstanding condition.

With only 181 original miles, it is barely broken in!

The motorcycle has never been used for off-road riding. According to the previous owner, its use has been limited to pavement.

The paint, plastics, frame, engine, controls, and aftermarket components all present beautifully.

The motorcycle looks virtually brand new, and the conversion was recently completed.

It starts easily, runs beautifully, and needs absolutely nothing except a new owner ready to enjoy it.

Former AMA professional Supercross winner Blake Wharton has also been seen demonstrating just how capable a properly ridden Big Wheel conversion can be, performing impressive jumps and riding aggressively on a larger 450cc-based machine.

Of course, this particular CRF300L has enjoyed an extremely easy life, with no off-road use and only 181 miles.

HONDA CRF300L – LEGENDARY RELIABILITY AND MODERN TECHNOLOGY!

Underneath this extraordinary conversion is one of Honda's most respected modern dual-sport platforms.

The CRF300L is powered by Honda's proven 286cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, DOHC single-cylinder four-stroke engine, paired with a smooth six-speed transmission.

Honda engineered this motorcycle to be lightweight, dependable, easy to operate, and remarkably versatile.

Unlike vintage carbureted machines, the modern fuel-injected CRF300L starts easily with the push of a button.

There's no choke, no kickstarting, and no complicated starting procedure.

The liquid-cooled engine helps maintain consistent operating temperatures, whether you're enjoying a summer ride, exploring trails, or cruising through town.

Honda's excellent fuel economy and legendary engine reliability make the CRF300L an outstanding platform for a custom build like this.

The motorcycle also retains its passenger footpegs.

Our owner, Ken Kaplan, personally owned the earlier CRF250L version for approximately three years and enjoyed riding it with Christie. He can attest to the practicality, comfort, and dependability of Honda's lightweight dual-sport motorcycles.

The CRF300L continues that excellent tradition with additional displacement, modern fuel injection, and proven Honda engineering.

ALL ORIGINAL FACTORY PARTS INCLUDED!

Here's another major advantage to purchasing this particular motorcycle:

ALL THE ORIGINAL FACTORY PARTS REMOVED DURING THE CONVERSION ARE INCLUDED WITH THE SALE!

These include the original factory components such as:

• Original Honda swingarm

• Original Honda front wheel

• Original Honda rear wheel

• Original Honda front fender

• Additional original takeoff components retained from the conversion

These components were removed when the motorcycle was virtually new and have seen minimal use.

This gives the next owner the flexibility to preserve the motorcycle in its custom Big Wheel configuration or potentially return it to the original Honda configuration using the included factory parts and any additional hardware required.

Having the original components is an important advantage and adds considerable value to the package.

A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE HONDA COLLECTOR OR RECREATIONAL RIDER!

How many of these do you see?

Almost none!

Honda's CRF300L is an excellent motorcycle in stock form, but this professionally converted Big Wheel example takes it to another level entirely.

The massive tires, billet aluminum swingarm, oversized triple clamps, black wheels, and aggressive appearance make it an absolute showstopper.

Whether you're looking for a unique addition to your motorcycle collection, a recreational machine for your property, or simply one of the coolest modern Hondas around, this bike deserves serious consideration.

181 ORIGINAL MILES. APPROXIMATELY $13,000 INVESTED. PROFESSIONALLY CONVERTED. ALL ORIGINAL PARTS INCLUDED. NEVER OFF-ROAD.

The next owner gets the benefit of the previous owner's substantial investment without having to undertake the time, expense, and complexity of building one from scratch.
