The 2005 XR650R is the non-street-legal version of the acclaimed XR650L, boasting even more terrainability and being better adapted to the rigors of off-road riding. With suspensions derived from Honda's racing programs, the XR650R delivers excellent obstacle-tackling capabilities and comes with a very reassuring feel.
Its 4-stroke 649cc thumper packs plenty of low-end torque for the light machine, while the clever architecture offers great clearance for riding on rough terrain. An optional HRC Power-Up kit is also available.
