PROVEN. PRACTICAL. AND TOUGH AS NAILS.

In times like these, we all need something we can count on. And in the world of big-bore dualsport bikes, nothing compares with the Honda XR®650L. It’s a tough, proven survivor that’s been a cornerstone of our dual-sport lineup for decades.
Its simple, air-cooled 644cc single-cylinder engine o ers legendary reliability and plenty of power, while an electric starter makes your life easier. Long-travel suspension and a rugged steel frame perfected in Baja smooth out dirt roads and in-town commutes, no matter how lousy the pavement.
Other bikes come and go, but Honda’s XR650L is in it for the long run. And you know what? That’s just the way we like it.

FOUR-STROKE ENGINE
The XR650L’s four-stroke, single-cylinder engine o ers good fuel e ciency and a wide power-band. In addition, its proven power-plant requires very little maintenance.

DISC BRAKES
Front- and rear-disc brakes provide superior stopping power. Both front and rear disc rotors are drilled for lightness and better wet-weather performance.

ELECTRIC STARTER
Adventure is just the push of a button away. The XR650L’s electric starter takes all the drama out of restarting o -road, or getting underway on a cold morning or after the bike’s been sitting all week.

SEALED BATTERY
No maintenance hassles here, even in case of an o -road tip over. The sealed battery has plenty of cranking power for the electric starter, and is well protected from the vibrations of off-road riding.

DRY-SUMP LUBRICATION
The XR’s dry-sump design keeps the engine compact and eliminates the oil pan for superior ground clearance and damage resistance. With the engine oil in the frame, the frame itself acts like a giant oil cooler.

18-INCH REAR WHEEL
The 18-inch rear wheel gives you a better overall ride and more sidewall protection against flats, and still offers a wide choice of on- or off-road tires.

21-INCH FRONT WHEEL
The 21-inch front wheel gives you a wide choice of tire selection for different riding conditions.

LONG-TRAVEL FRONT SUSPENSION
With a full 11.6 inches of travel, the air-adjustable 43mm fork also offers 16-position compression damping adjustability, letting you fine-tune it to deal with the bumps of off-road riding.

PRO-LINK® REAR SUSPENSION
Honda’s Pro-Link® rear suspension system offers compliant and comfortable ride quality with a high level of wheel control. Initial rates are soft for supple action over small bumps and ripples, while increasingly stiffer rates resist bottoming and maintain rear-wheel control over rougher surfaces.

STEEL FRAME
The XR650L’s steel frame is designed to handle the intensity of off-road travel. Plus, the frame’s backbone doubles as the engine’s oil tank, saving weight and space.

STREET-LEGAL FEATURES
Fully equipped for the street—including turn signals, license-plate light, mirrors, speedometer and more. There’s even a grab strap and footpegs for a passenger.

PASSENGER READY
With a passenger grab strap, folding passenger pegs, a long MX-style seat and plenty of Honda power, the XR650L lets you carry a passenger with ease.
