Honda’s long-lasting dual sport notches in another year.
Information
The Honda XR650L spawned from the XR600R, which is known for its past success in the Baja 1000 and GNCC races. Now the XR650L is one of the few motorcycles to achieve such a long life and loyal following, and yet the bulletproof bike has been virtually unchanged since its introduction in the early ‘90s. It has maintained its simple recipe that has obviously worked well for the do-it-all machine.
