About The Project
Every great build starts with a vision, and this one began with a brand-new CRF300 Rally sitting in the shop - untouched, clean, and practically asking for something more. We wanted to create a machine that captured what makes Honda so iconic: precision, durability, and a level of style that feels effortless.
The first step was taking the bike apart, revealing the structure that carries Honda's reputation around the world. From there, it was a slow, intentional climb toward something better. Piece by piece, the Rally transformed. You could see it in the way the stance settled, the way the upgraded components blended in as if they were always meant to be there, the way the bike started to look like it had a story before it even hit the dirt.
There was this moment midway through the build - when the major parts were on but the finishing touches weren't even close - where the Rally already looked incredible. You could walk past it and feel the purpose behind it. It had that unmistakable Honda presence, the kind that makes people stop and look twice without ever being loud or asking for attention.
By the time the final part was installed, the bike didn’t look modified. It looked factory-evolved. Like a concept build Honda might reveal at a world premiere - rugged, refined, and ready for anything. The kind of bike you immediately picture packed for a trip, tearing down a trail, or staged perfectly in a sunset photo with dust hanging in the air.
This build isn’t just sweet - it’s a reminder of why people choose Honda. Because when you start with a platform this good, the possibilities are infinite.
