New 1993 Honda XR650L

The XR650L is one of the most honest, straightforward motorcycles on the planetwhich is why it has such a huge following. Everything about this bike is rugged, simple, and proven: the air-cooled single-cylinder engine, the strong steel frame, the long-travel suspension. Electric starting and street-legal features make it a terrific commuter. We gave it some graphic updates last year that make it look even better (black rims, black seat, tool bag, and fork boots, and white-on-white bodywork). Its a refreshingly straightforward bike in an increasingly complex world. And its ready for any adventure you have in mind.

Features may include:

• FOUR-STROKE ENGINE

The XR650Ls four-stroke, single-cylinder engine offers good fuel efficiency and a wide powerband. In addition, its proven powerplant requires very little maintenance.

• ELECTRIC STARTER

Adventure is just the push of a button away. The XR650Ls electric starter takes all the drama out of restarting off-road, or getting underway on a cold morning or after the bikes been sitting all week.

• STREET-LEGAL FEATURES

Fully equipped for the streetincluding turn signals, license-plate light, mirrors, speedometer and more. Theres even a grab strap and footpegs for a passenger.

• SEALED BATTERY

No maintenance hassles here, even in the case of an off-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.
