Back in 2000 I used my xr400 for everything. 1 commuting 2 motorcross 3 enduros hare and hound 4 hobby riding Never left me down even had 3rd place on enduro against much more Morden lighter bikes .
Xr400R is light, nimble, awesome trial / bush performer. Power to weight ratio is spot on. I've added 3 modified roller bearing wheels to the chain block, really easy to do, great mod for off road and super smooth on road.
damn she's beautiful. looks like new. hope she went to someone who appreciates it. They never made a road legal version for the US.. most if not all Aus delivered xr400r came road registerable ;)
I'm still kicking myself for selling my '02 XR400. It was also in near showroom condition with very little time on it. But I did get quite a bit of money for it, but I still miss it. With Honda's 'power up' kit installed, and an FMF powercore 4 silencer, that bike was a beast, but still easy to ride and super comfortable.
Beautiful bike! I bought an 04 in almost the same condition a few years ago. I've ridden it a ton but sometimes wish l would have kept it in show room condition for the resale value...naa nevermind Ive had way too much fun on it and it has a lot of life left in it yet 😂👍
Pity Honda didn’t keep these air cool bikes going along side the water cool CRF range . Sure they had the crf 230 range but I guess the water cooled models did take over at the time and all manufacturers did well with them .
I had an 03 model, never should have sold it. So a bought a 96 model. Even though I also have a 2021 GASGAS EC 300 I love to ride the XR. Different experience and sometimes superior, for me.
Not sure why bikes needed radiators cluttering up the front end. My 43 year old XT 500 will probably run forever. The Honda XR 650 won the Baja 1000 several times!
Had one. Its a good motorcycle but if you dropped it hot it was impossible to start. The starting issue could also be bad starting it first of the day.
Kaplan Cycles . I have your needle , 2004 xr400r4 , I bought this new back in April 2004 at carter motorsports in Las Vegas , NV. The story behind why I bought it and why i still have it is long winded , so i won't boar ya , lol. Now how stock would you like my xr400r4 to be ? right now it is set up with the same dakar light kit , minus the add on plate / tail light uglyness lol , IMS lower oil cooler line guard , devol rear disk guard , mirror mounts (left and right ) off the stock levers , your standard air box mod , remove the top snorkel from air box , replace with wire mesh to keep large critters from being sucked in during riding . a speedometer from a ATK witch reads close enough lol 42 tooth rear sprocket ( i think , ) that lets the bike cruze at 70 with no problem . Oh exhaust , full Jardine rt-4 kit , larger id header pipes and sa muffler with quiet insert , witch brings the DB's down around 98 ish , with out it , it barks , ..Now if you want stock , then I have all the stock parts , full exhaust , header pipe to muffler (not modded in any way ) , the original front and rear tires , rear sprocket , front headlight / number plate assembly , and the factory air box snorkel . and Yes It could be yours ( or any of you ) if the price is r!&ht .. lol but for real it is up for sale .
Warm up motor a wee bit turn of bike level pull dipstick out of frame and check dipstick bit of pain going back in frame on my second 400 2003 bit of bling Carby and airbox mod and valves seats and 440 piston really dances now i still prefer the white model over red😅

Yep in Australia the XR 400 was king of the dirt bikes until the water cool 250/ 400 started to take over
@All Tubes nice one , a person should snap up a XR 400 and have it as a classic in their garage
Gotta love these XR's ! Amazing.
Xr400R is light, nimble, awesome trial / bush performer. Power to weight ratio is spot on. I've added 3 modified roller bearing wheels to the chain block, really easy to do, great mod for off road and super smooth on road.
Some of if not the best motorcycles ever made imo. I love these. Thats a gem right there
XRs are awesome, their like will never be seen again!
Bough my first xr in 2000 and I still have them today , great bikes 🙂🇬🇧👍👍
In Europe every XR400 is legal registered
I am riding a 2003. Got about 10 hours on it. Mint. All original but the gas, oil and the front inner tube.
Just bought a nice 03 250r today in Colorado for my 11 year old. He can't wait to ride so excited his 110 was good for 4 years
damn she's beautiful. looks like new. hope she went to someone who appreciates it.
They never made a road legal version for the US..

the wheelies are just a straight classic bro!
Your right it doesn't get any better than that!

I just got one almost as clean, not quite but also street legal. An 04 she's a beauty 😍
Love my 400
Wow thats a beauty Ken!, am thinkin of buying one of these xr400's, always wanted one since i had my xr200 way back in 1992 🙂
i do agree haha love my 1998, glad you like it like i do🤘

Got my xr400r 3 weeks ago I LOVE IT!!!!!
When Ken say's he wants to keep it.....buy it🏆
I had an XR650 field bike when I was 15, I'd wheelie it all day, that summer was superb great bike👌
👊✊💨💨💨👍
Had all the xr over 100cc the 400 is by far my favorite.
What about xr650r? Water cooled and 61bhp
Perfect bike for some street riding
Fun fact we have a tone of them in the UK but still not very cheap to buy
My dream bike. Especially street legal ❤️
Love my street legal 2002 XR400. Also have a plated 1999 XR400.
Is it easy to turn legal?
Nice, i also have a 99 Xr 400
@@marcomouawad2830 Marco, it probably depends on the state you live in.
I want this bike! I’ve been looking for a clean 400R that I could tag. This would’ve been perfect but I’m 9 months to late. 😂

XR Collection isn't complete actually...you still need to find a 650R liquid cooled model :)
The XR400 is my all time favorite bike!
There was brand new xr650r on kaplan America channel.. probably last brand new on whole planet.. worth to watch it👍
Beautiful bike. Im trying to decide which duel sport I’m going to get
Now you just need the xr70r like I have for my son. Then you'll have the collection for sure
Not so fast Ken, I have a street legal xr400 with title and I’m also in CT. Probably 2 of a few street legal in this state.
Who wouldn't love that one......damn that's nice
My first bike was a 1986 Xr100
clean used models have become unicorns
Exceptional condition I had a 97 great bike pipe cam Bullet proof just missing electric start OMG 😀
Yeah but they start easy I'm 62 no problem kicking it and it seldom stals
Jeese , that's a unicorn .
XR 400 in general seem to be getting harder to find .. not roached
Aren't XR400's street legal in the USA? They always were here in the UK, Europe and the rest of the world?
The gentleman I bought it from past away Loved it looks like a million bucks Ken Thanks! Please keep it Ken!!
I really enjoyed this video by the way
Another Gem!
Can’t beat an xr they are solid asf looks weird with 2 back lights though
Not sure why bikes needed radiators cluttering up the front end. My 43 year old XT 500 will probably run forever. The Honda XR 650 won the Baja 1000 several times!
How much did that gem sell for? What a beauty!
Love it
Looking forward to seeing how the “L” build is coming alone .😀
That's sick!!
Nice 👍🏽
Unfortunately not an oem headlight.
Has high low beam wired with the kit instead of butchering the wire harness
Had one. Its a good motorcycle but if you dropped it hot it was impossible to start. The starting issue could also be bad starting it first of the day.
Went to makuni comp pumper fixed everything even if turned upside down starts easy.
Need a xr 200
I need E-start thes XR's start hard sometimes when hot or a tipover.
i almost think when these bikes first came out they were just as popular as the 650
The 250F and 450F are to high maintenance or Just to Brutal to ride. These are spot on perfect.
I own 2 of these, and I will never part with them
Very nice & would be even better with a tail tidy fitted 👍
Indeed. Someone added that second, lower tail light and made a mess of it, that's not stock.
It’s a good idea to sell DR 350 for a buy one XR 400? 😄
Well I have one that is in very good condition as well so I'm kind of curious what do you think it's worth mine is a 2002 Runs like brand new
It’s worth a lifetime of freedom
That bike is screaming to roam in the woods

I'm an XR guy: have 200, 400 & 650.
Have a question, checking the oil on the 400 is a pain and sometimes impossible. Any suggestions? Thx
Awesome, no tips for checking the oil, I have a 650l, 2 400's, 200, 80 and a Z50.

Hi boss this is still available I mean it's possible to order same like this 400xr because I like it
I'm interested to buy if it's available.
When is it going up for sale, didnt see it in your auctions
Why don't they make this anymore?
Assume they’ve moved on from a bike originally made in 1996?
@@Pittaz piss off millennial.
Is it still for sale?!?! VERY Interested!
I have a 01 xr400 street legal
hard to change oil? change it ofen?
I thought every Xr 400 was street legal
Completely street légal ? Where is the license plate ?
Titled
Old school bike
Old school mic toss.
I'd pay stupid money for that fuel tank lol
Is this for sale still??? How much?
I love the knife, brother. I’d be curious to see you guys borrow that 400 to a 450 and if you guys did, would it cause overheating problems?
