2019 Honda XR650L

The Honda XR650L is a legendary bike. Not for the way it looks or because of how many races it’s won. But because of how brutally perfect it is for serious off-road adventures. Fully street legal, thousands of riders use it as a brilliant commuter. But when the road ends and the trails start, an entire generation of riders has proven that this is the machine you want, because it never lets you down.

Its ultra-tough 644cc overhead-cam engine has torque and power to spare. And because it’s air-cooled, it’s easy to maintain, and there’s no hoses or radiators to leak out in the middle of nowhere. The engine’s gear-driven counterbalancer reduces vibrations, so you’re more likely to ride farther. Long-travel suspension is trail proven, and easily tames the gnarliest pavement. The XR650L is the dual-sport that rolls up its sleeves and gets the job done.

• Electric from the First Moment On.

Rocky uphill section? Stop-and-go traffic? No problem. Starting on the XR650L is easy, thanks to the push-button electric starter with an automatic decompression system. You’ll appreciate it on any terrain.

• Tough. Like You’d Expect from a Honda.

The XR650L is designed to be tougher than the trail with rugged construction, sturdy steel frame, and simple air-cooling. And as a commuter, it’s a beast too.
