Beautiful bike! Before I got paralyzed I had a 1986 Honda XR600R, it was bored out 1 mil, had an aftermarket piston that was 10:1 compression and the carbs were rejetted... It was extremely fast! Back then I lived in Tucson Arizona, that bike was perfect for the high speed desert riding that I did and loved! I called my bike "Clementine"... I had so much fun on that bike! Another great video, thanks for sharing!

How were you paralyzed?
@krisjato5 жыл бұрын
I was riding a 1985 Honda 200X, probably going 45-50 MPH and I blacked out from dehydration, when I blacked out I veered off the trail and hit a tree, the front tire hit the trunk and then my head hit the trunk which fractured three vertebrae in my neck (C3 , C4 and C6) and broke one vertebrate (C5 ) into three pieces which pinched my spinal cord leaving me paralyzed from the chest down. That happened May 21 of 2000, man time sure flies!

Refurbishing a 96 as of this year just like finding someone to do my engine rebuild got all the parts to go in it. I’m not much of a fix it guy myself but I do have the manual for it everything powder coated ready for engine.big fan of Kaplan cycles the xr600r is by far best bike I’ve ever owned. Had a 99 250r Xr it was bulletproof. Same was my 96 200r Xr . Bring it back Honda what were you guys thinking when you stop producing.
