Explore far, roam free

A true Honda classic, there's a reason the XR650L continues to have a hugely loyal following. Tough, simple, and tested, this dual-sport motorcycle stands tall as an uncomplicated bike ready for any adventure you can throw its way.

Performance

Four-stroke engine

The single-cylinder, four-stroke engine provides excellent fuel efficiency and a wide power range. Even better, it requires very little maintenance.

Handling

18-inch rear wheel

The 18-inch rear wheel gives you a better riding experience, more sidewall protection against flats, and a variety of tire options for on- or off-road use.

21-inch front wheel

Up front, we've equipped the bike with a 21-inch wheel, giving you a variety of tire options for different riding conditions.

Long-travel front suspension

The long-travel fork offers compression-damping adjustability, allowing you to fine-tune it for varying off-road conditions.

Pro-Link® rear suspension

Pro-Link® rear suspension provides a comfortable ride by offering soft initial rates for supple action over small bumps. Increasingly stiffer rates resist bottoming and maintain rear-wheel control over rougher surfaces.

Steel frame

The steel frame's backbone doubles as the engine's oil tank, saving weight and space, and is designed to withstand off-road riding.

Disc brakes

Superior stopping power is provided by front and rear disc brakes. Both rotors are drilled for improved wet-weather performance and lightness.

Engineering

Sealed battery

There are no maintenance issues here, even after an off-road tipover. The sealed battery has ample cranking power for the electric starter and is well-protected from the vibrations of off-road riding.

Dry-sump lubrication

The engine oil is stored in the frame, which acts as a giant oil cooler and allows for a compact, dry-sump design that improves ground clearance and damage resistance.

Style

Black rims

To give the bike a clean look, we added black rims to the front and rear, along with black fork boots, seat, and tool bag.

Factory handguards

The handguards are designed to be off-road ready right out of the box and help protect against rocks, branches, thorns, brush, and rain.

Comfort and Convenience

Quick-release fasteners

Accessing the air filter, battery, and fuse box is easy with quick-release fasteners on the left side cover.

Street-legal ability

It's fully equipped for street riding, with turn signals, license plate light, mirrors, speedometer and more, plus a grab strap and footpegs for a passenger.

Passenger ready

With its passenger grab strap, folding passenger pegs, and long MX-style seat, the bike provides ample space and comfort for carrying a passenger.

Technology

Electric starter

Adventure is just a button push away. The bike's electric starter eliminates the drama of restarting off-road, and getting going on cold mornings.
