- I pieced together some video clips of my Honda XR650L motorcycle rides that show what the Honda dual sport can truly do. If you are on the fence about buying this dual sport motorcycle, maybe this video will help you make your decision.

I'm going to get me one of these to commute to work because the roads are always in terrible condition where I live. Look at the way that XR650L handles that mess eat' em and smile right on through and it keeps chugging on. It's a legendary bike now I see why Honda didn't change a thing about it. You don't fix what isn't broke!
Best motorcycle I have ever had. It is even great for the road with the offload tires. I had it up to 95 mph and it had some more to go. It eats through anything you will throw at it. You will love it. Thank you for watching.
omg just got one cause I drove my buddies didn't know I could drive a bike bought one cause of how unreal it is ill keep it forever !!! headers exhaust system hand guards
protaper handlebars 2500 later she is now puuuuurfect!!!
I just love Honda trails bikes. They’ll take pretty much whatever you throw at them and still come back for more. They’re just awesome machines. Ride Safe Mark 🙏🏻
Thanks George. The Honda is a tank and a great exploring machine. It will never let you down. It always gets me where I want to go.
omg love my xr650l did this stuff on the weekend 20hrs on any bike in my life it's so easy to drive so capable but iam 6 foot 2 230lbs best bike ever!!!!! awsome video
Thanks for watching Lance. I love my XR650L. I am also 6 foot 2 inches but I am 285 pounds. The Big Red Pig takes me anywhere I want to go.
hi today me and my family were behind you guys today, we found ur channel from ur helmet! we love your bike
That is so cool. My wife and I love riding together. We were just coming back from Francis Slocum State Park. We visit there a lot. Thank you for visiting the channel and commenting. Hopefully, you enjoy our channel.
it may not be a fancy orange bike but man I was surprised at how good mine handled in the desert. I thought it would be absolutely horrible but it’s pretty nice actually. gonna be much better for cruising around than my yz250x.
I pushed the wrong button;I have 2012 XR650L is the best all around bike ever.!!!
THANK you from NOR-CAL!!!!!
I've live in nor-cal too. I'm really close to buying one of these. What would you guess on how far can you travel offroad and pavement before having to refill?
@@kalidilerious about 100 miles I got around 50 miles per
gallon, I got just around 50,000
miles on my 2012 XR650L before
I broke a timing chain guild and I'ts in the middle of a rebuild the
Bikes real real reliable I've finally
Got most parts I'm planning on getting another 50,000miles out
of it buy one and have some fun.
U can get a real nice XRL,used
for around $3,000 up to $4,500 for a CHERRY bike. I've also have
SUPER MOTO WHEELS WITH RACE TIRES ON THEM, making
XR have a DUAL personality!!!!
THANK'S from NOR-CAL!!!!!
@@chrisiollich4890 Good to hear. That's cool having race tires too, I didn't think of that. I wanted to hear what riders in the area have to say because around here there are some GNARLY dirt trials with steep elevation changes. The youtube reviews are good on this bike but I see a lot of riding on flat trails with it.
@@kalidilerious . There’s a guy that has a cool trick to connect the two sides of the stock tank with an internal crossover hose setup. IIRC, the range on the stock tank increases to near 150 miles? I’ll find the info and update here soon.
@@FIGGY65 ok. I would definitely be interested because I just picked up my 650 only a week ago 😀
Great compilation Mark ... Can't wait for your next adventure on the Honda! Ryde safe brother 👍😁👊 Beanie
Thank you Beanie. I have one more Honda video that I am working on. Hopefully, I will have it up in a few weeks. I haven't been motivated in the last 2 weeks to do any editing lol.
@@budyser365 Can't wait mate! 😁👍
Great riding
Thanks Walker. I love that bike.
Brother that was an enjoyable video to watch. Great camera angle and excellent video quality. I actually felt like I was riding it myself. Good to see the capability of the bike. I'm a novice trail Rider and looking for my first dual sport. I chuckled a bit when you were crossing that little bridge and looked left to right. I was thinking what could possibly be coming his way? In that little creek? Then my senses hit me and I think you were enjoying the scenery haha. Keep up the good work
Thank you. I am glad that you enjoyed the video. That was the first time that I rode on the little bridge. I found the beauty of the area amazing. I tried to catch it on video the best that I could. The best part of trail riding is the amazing views and peacefulness. That is what got me riding. I truly love nature.
Thanks for sharing! I'm interested in the XR650 as my 2nd Honda bike! I have an Africa Twin as well. I pretty much do everything on the Twin but it's more fun to have 2 bikes so I can change it up.
No problem. Thank you for watching. The Honda XR650L is a great off road and on road bike. I have owned a lot of street and trail motorcycles and the Honda is one of my favorites.
Good vid. That. Honesty You are scratching the surface of what the 650L can do. I can’t believe the rock climbing that this thing will do.
Thanks Brian for watching. The 650L is an absolute monster that can go anywhere or do almost anything. The more I ride it the more it impresses me. The rock climbing sounds interesting.
Nice video, I kept thinking to myself that some of these trails seem familiar then I realized you were also from the NEPA “Valley” area. I always loved air-cooled Hondas, how hard is it wrestling the big Honda around off-road? They are Heavy for a dirt bike but light for an Adventure bike so you hear mixed things.
The Honda is great off-road. You don't notice the weight unless you try jumping it. Not a jumping bike but an absolute tank on the trails that will take you anywhere you want to go. I mean that in a very good way. You need to be tall to ride it though. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone under 6 feet tall. It is also amazing on the road. It doesn't get shaky until you go over 80mph. Very stable.
.great video..I love my big red tractor!. ya its big and fat like me but it does everything I want to do in my old age..
I absolutely love the Honda XR650L. It will take you anywhere you want to go. The bike has never let me down. It is so fun to explore.
That is what it is all about. Go on adventure at your own pace. :)
I love my Honda. Going on adventures and finding new places in the middle of no where is what it is all about. Thank you for watching.
What tire are you running in this video .thanks .cool ride.
Great Video! I just got me one of those and looking where to ride it at, I’m from Maryland let me know if you got any suggestions!
Thanks Rodney. The XR650L will take you anywhere you want to go. There are so many places to ride in PA. Plymouth Pennsylvania and the surrounding area has places to ride for days. Congrats on getting one. You will love it.
Great video...but I don't understand WHY!! All the endure bike bloggers insist add that annoying music....much rather have just the sounds of the engine.
Your right on the music. My future videos will have much less or none at all. The motor sounds are much better to hear.
Do you have any mods on this bike or is it stock? if so what did you do?
awesome chasing !!!! great places to play on. #livetoride
Thank you for watching. I am having such a great time riding the XR650L. The bike never let me down.
ya there awesome were on our 2nd one and nothing but smiles first was used and we were able to score a 21 and had to make it happen. keep chasing !!!
Great video. My xr will do a lot more then I have the guts for. Well hell it’s a Honda.
Mine too lol. It scares me sometimes.
shit man how many times have you dropped your bike hitting an invisible underwater obstacle? thats crazy. i'd never drive into lakes like that unless i basically drove the trail to work and back every day.
What mileage will they run till without a rebuild on avg? I'm at 23,xxx
My friend has one at 42k without a rebuild. He changes oil and filter every 3k miles and keeps the oil full. It still runs like new. I honestly don't know the answer. I believe if you keep up with the oil changes. 50k can easily be reached.
I got just under 50,000 miles on
mine, before I broke a timing chain rail now I'm rebuilding the
Top end!!!
THANK'S from NOR-CAL!!!!
what pro taper bars are those?
Unfortunately, I am not sure. I bought the bike with them installed from the previous owner.
Where in PA?
I am in the Wilkes-Barre area.
Best Bike Made ,my XR is a 1012 ,the best
I agree. I love my Honda. Ride safe and have fun.
My on comment I just made my 2012 ,XRL is the BEST BIKE I'VE EVER OWNED. Very versatile under the music U can hear how low RPM that bike is running and still pulls right off the bottom and will go 90mph on or off road.My XR had 50,000 miles on it before it broke a timing chain rail.And the top end rebuild ,is here!!!! U know Y because XR'S RULE!!!!!!!!
That’s the wrong music as slow as you ride 😭
lol. Maybe some Opera next time.
Honda XR650L is a crappy motorcycle over the long haul due to lousy electrical wiring.Endless electrical gremlins. If you enjoy buying a shop queen, have at it. My own 2000year 650L ran flawless for 15k miles, then----problems. cdi units burn out regularly. Rectifiers, Stators, etc feel neglected, so they give up the ghost as well. Yes, you've got to cut off the kickstand switch and many others "electrical customizations."
Bike sucks. Buy something better. You've been warned. Honda should be ashamed for shoddy manufacture.
Sorry you got a lemon. It happens with all vehicles unfortunately. I ride with friends who have Honda XR650L motorcycles. One has one with 52K mikes and one has 1 with 43K miles. Only thing changed were oil, brakes, tires, and chains. They are literally one of the most reliable bikes on the market and super easy to work on.
@@budyser365 mines for sale. Am in New Mexico if anyone is interested.
@@budyser365 ... Btw, my next move is to buy from ServiceHonda, a complete new wiring harness.
I hate it that I know ServiceHonda's 800 number by heart. And all the staff. I mothballed my bike. Too many projects on hand.
Music???? 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
The music wasn't the best. I agree. Not too much to pick from in the free library. I wish I could put in some AC/DC or Metallica.
