POST-APOCALYPTIC RELIABILITY
The Honda XR650L is a legendary bike. Not for the way it looks or because of how many races it’s won, but because of how brutally perfect it is for serious off-road adventures. Fully street legal, thousands of riders use it as a commuter. But when the road ends, that’s when things really start to get interesting. The XR650L is equipped with an ultra-tough 644cc overhead-cam air-cooled engine, a gear-driven counterbalancer to reduce vibrations, plus proven long-travel suspension — so you have a dual-sport that rolls up its sleeves and gets the job done on any road or trail.
FEATURES
PERFORMANCE
FOUR-STROKE ENGINE
The XR650L’s four-stroke, single-cylinder engine offers good fuel efficiency and a wide powerband. In addition, its proven powerplant requires very little maintenance.
DISC BRAKES
Front- and rear-disc brakes provide superior stopping power. Both front and rear disc rotors are drilled for lightness and better wet-weather performance.
CONVENIENCE
ELECTRIC STARTER
Adventure is just the push of a button away. The XR650L’s electric starter takes all the drama out of restarting off-road, or getting underway on a cold morning or after the bike’s been sitting all week.
VERSATILITY
STREET-LEGAL FEATURES
Fully equipped for the street—including turn signals, license-plate light, mirrors, speedometer and more. There’s even a grab strap and footpegs for a passenger.
PASSENGER READY
With a passenger grab strap, folding passenger pegs, a long MX-style seat and plenty of Honda power, the XR650L lets you carry a passenger with ease.
DESIGN
SEALED BATTERY
No maintenance hassles here, even in case of an off-road tip over. The sealed battery has plenty of cranking power for the electric starter, and is well protected from the vibrations of off-road riding.
DRY-SUMP LUBRICATION
The XR’s dry-sump design keeps the engine compact and eliminates the oil pan for superior ground clearance and damage resistance. With the engine oil in the frame, the frame itself acts like a giant oil cooler.
HANDLING
18-INCH REAR WHEEL
The 18-inch rear wheel gives you a better overall ride and more sidewall protection against flats, and still offers a wide choice of on- or off-road tires.
LONG-TRAVEL FRONT SUSPENSION
With a full 11.6 inches of travel, the air-adjustable 43mm fork also offers 16-position compression damping adjustability, letting you fine-tune it to deal with the bumps of off-road riding.
21-INCH FRONT WHEEL
The 21-inch front wheel gives you a wide choice of tire selection for different riding conditions.
PRO-LINK® REAR SUSPENSION
Honda’s Pro-Link® rear suspension system offers compliant and comfortable ride quality with a high level of wheel control. Initial rates are soft for supple action over small bumps and ripples, while increasingly stiffer rates resist bottoming and maintain rear-wheel control over rougher surfaces.
