Tampa MX - XR600R

[@fernandoroman7464]

Friend, you are putting the Honda XR 600 R where it deserves. As the owner of one of them, take care of it and ridding like that. Greetings from Spain.

[@bighaasfly]

Cannot even tell you how many phenomenal memories that sound brings back! Loved my XR600R!

[@64maxpower]

It can't feel good when you spend 10k on a dirtbike and you get passed by someone who's bike probably weighs close to 90lbs more and is 20 years older than yours

[@jethrosagun1440]

yes if its racing

[@randymarsh-Tegridy420]

1995 ktm 440exc screams. Not so good in cornering. Long wheelbase. Tight tracks I have hard time keeping up. Young riders, very surprised with left hand kick and the sound old 2T European.

[@Jesse-do4nm]

it all comes down to the rider

[@codenamenoob4973]

@Mike Stanton out of a xr600?

[@christianbenedict5136]

What size sprockets are you using?

[@nomdeguerre13]

that was awesome and truly shows it is the rider and not the bike with a bunch of aftermarket crap.

[@Krwlnrx]

XR600R....amazing motorcycle that can literally do it all. I miss my XR6. Fantastic riding, always fun to watch a talented rider rip around a mx track on a enduro bike.

[@purebloodheretic4682]

90% Rider Ability! Bad Riders always blame the Machinery!!- Good Riders make any old Machine look Quick! - Not many can make the Big Red Pig Fly So High!! The XR600r is a Great Machine, You took it way out of its Comfort Zone, But it looked like it Handled the MX Track quite well! You must have the Suspension Dialed Right in! Great to see Someone Showcase what you can do with these Great old Bikes- If you have enough Talent! - Respect! - Cheers 👍🇦🇺

[@briankemp2290]

Well now I don't need to spend £4000 on an old Maico. I can buy an XR and actually enjoy running it with plenty beer at the end to numb the pain. Brilliant review.

[@athomerecordschannel]

I loved this video. People are quick to tell you what you can't do, you showed what you can do. I am getting old and I mostly do half speed laps on the Motocross Track and 3/4 speed laps on the Hare Scrambles and Enduro stuff. I was looking for a bike that I can just do it all on, basically a bike to just turn laps on (I have a garage full of old 2-Strokes, but they are tiring) and told some buddies that I was looking for an old Honda XR600. First thing they did was tell me What I Can't Do (can't ride an MX track). Thank you for this video.

[@jonevans8146]

Love hearing that big ole girl sink her teeth in from zero rpm. Nothing like that sound. Good luck on Sunday bro and thanks for sharing your rides with us!

[@totuus1382]

Many years ago I had '87 XR600R, superior machine, pretty light about 116kg, lot of power and torque, nice hard look, heavyduty, I miss her. Greetings from PL

[@64maxpower]

Other than the 84 KX125, that's my favorite bike ever.

[@TrailnTriggerTV]

I need to see a 3rd person view of this unholy act.

[@johnchafin3817]

Man that sound brings back memories.

[@rekluseman666]

Very impressive and the old girl sounded as if she was just over tickover most of the time lol.

[@jamesscherman4405]

Well done Jacob. Rode smooth and fast on that big thumper. Made other with lesser weight look slow.

[@jeremywilson7198]

Very clean and smooth. These are heavy bikes to ride like that and my friend you are one with that machine. Nice !

[@aarononymous2685]

Still have an old '92 600R that I rode for yeeeaaaars. This really makes me want to spend some time fixing the old pig up.

[@Alfsp1]

The XR 400 back in the day pretty much started Thumper Nats series here in Australia

[@neilr4867]

I had a chance to ride Paul Grant's TT600 Belgarda in Thumper Nats trim... crazy HP with the turning ability of an ocean liner. I never complained about my CR250 again

[@Duppavich]

I'm sure the thumper nats started years before the XR400 even came out?

[@Alfsp1]

Duppavich what year ?

[@Duppavich]

Awesome man, thanks for posting! I'm so so so happy I ditched my wife and kept my 600 lol

[@Big.Ron1]

That is so cool to see you out there jumping and running that old girl. The sound of that big thumper passing those high strung purpose built bikes is great. I love it. She may not corner as well but there is no doubt, she will out run them missed shifts and all. It does an old guy good to hear that thumper out there working. And working well. I laughed when she slapped your ass for screwing up. She has personality, the newer bikes cant claim that. And, she is fast. Like you said, good job. Well done to you both.

[@Hanky_Bannist8r]

Sending an Xr 600 on a moto track is nuts ! I'd say it was ultra smooth for such a monster bike.

[@DarthYryn]

Such a classic bike. Brings back memories. love it...

[@SlowRider72]

I have an XR 600 and I take it to the track too! Great job! KEEP IT UP!!!

[@someonethatwatchesyoutube2953]

He’s a more talented rider than the others. Just imagine how fast he would have been on a modern bike.

[@patrickjerzak2685]

That sound reminds of the 80s and 90s out on the trails in upstate New York in Ontario county.

[@antiantifaterrier5761]

Patrick Jerzak I’m originally from Candaigua....in Florida now

[@yahiride7578]

Dude!! Im an old MX vet...I got tired watching u hadle the old lumbering bike. Good job btw...pretty impressive

[@fastguysslowbikes]

Thanks a lot!

[@kne2323]

I was a large 13 yr old when my dad brought me home a XR500R. Rode the tires off it. Completely bulletproof woods bike but not so fun jumping it. People would stand and watch a 135lb kid kickstart a huge thumper. Good times. Would love to have it back!

[@Rakkasan-vr8xt]

I got arm pump just watching you. You have to be in shape to muscle that beast around, I have a KX500 and XR650R but doubt I could keep up. Good ride.

[@aboobakarfakir4037]

@@fastguysslowbikes jacob xr 600 its very good bike i love it

[@peacefulwarrior4078]

Had a 85 XR-350 and rode it in OPEN A EXPERT CLASS along with my 87 CR-500 and SURPRISINGLY did real good on it with consistent in top 5 finishes !!! It was a HELLUVA lot easier to ride than my much preferred 87CR500 though !

[@theabyssgarage]

Some killer riding! Xr600 values are gonna sky rocket.

[@BarnStangz]

I never had the chance to own one of these big beautiful beasts, but man, now I want to find one! The torque on them is like riding a tractor, love the vid bud! Keep rippin' !

[@Randy_Cox]

Good vid dude. I prefer the hair scrambles and endures but it does fine on a mix track too.

[@Randy_Cox]

@@fastguysslowbikes Good luck dude. Hope you enjoy the ride and everyone ends the race safely. Cant wait to watch the action.

[@Batman45025]

Hey have you checked out xrsonly? Ive done the 630 kit with stage 1 cam, 41mm flatslide carb and full fmf exhaust system. It really livens up the old girls..

[@thulsa5218]

Way to ride that torque monster like a boss!! Nice vid

[@kings17court]

You were getting that big 600 around that MX track like a boss. Nice riding.

[@YouThinkAboutThis]

If you spayed your chain with super duper brand lube you wouldn't have gotten passed.

[@bprickard]

I had a kx500 and my buddy had this tractor! Oh the memories! Love it!

[@jccook5353]

I had both a KX500 and still have my old XR600. They both had a lot in common, actually. Except that the KX just started getting lively when the XR signed off. But just grab another gear with the XR and all that torque put you right back in the game. So much torque everywhere...

[@lozzaellis272]

top vid mate!!!! i got a 1998 model , will never sell it cheers from australia!!!!!!!!!!!

[@leescheeler1503]

One of the best outdated four strokes ever built I want one in a four fifty cr frame how fun would that be

[@austinmoon4690]

Wow man, we were next to you I was with that kid in the blue jersey talking to you when you lost that one piece to your GoPro 😂 great video man it got into my recommended! Hope it takes off

[@tredeuce]

Had fun riding with you out there brother.

[@pollepost]

Welcome back. So nice to see you handle the Xr's again :)

[@cmbscx1084]

Oh that was so fun to watch. Having wrastled my own 97' XR600 for a few years i feel both your joy and pain. Loooved that bike. Dude at min 7 was probably WTF? Was that an XR flying over my head.

[@aarongood220]

Your entry speed to the corner is so much faster than the others

[@tkmusa5211]

Been watching your videos, nice riding on some great bikes. Keep taking them to school.

[@MXRiderFiftyTwo]

I've owned 3 XR600's.. Best mode was a 2008 crf450 carburetor and XR400 front forks. XR600's run well with a stock motor.

[@andyt5807]

Very impressive it does just show its the rider not the bike , 👌

[@andrewacton5885]

Everyone should listen to the whiskey throttle podcast episode where they interviewed Johnny Campbell. Learned soooooo much about these machines

[@davem145mxr]

I’ll bet some minds we’re blown in that track

[@gdv4612]

Did not know they allow vintage bikes on that track

[@MrThenry1988]

85% rider. You did let one get by. Nice bike.

[@SKUNKPROOF]

I feel it when that XR lands.😳🤣

[@topridefilms6359]

You have a great experience with that tool ! My XR600R is sleeping now 🤘

[@nomasker1360]

Gobs of torque on that Brute !

[@craigsteinman9807]

Dam that was awesome. Suprised the pro link held up or the frame didnt crack..or did it..lol..kudos to you for taming that big hog👍

[@AUBREYTHOMAS1979]

That's how to show people how MX is ridden... You ride that big 600 so dang well

[@MarioDiaz-co3px]

Great vids, what mods have you done to your suspension?

[@tredeuce]

Oh and thats me limping across the screen @ 1:13 HA! My knee sucks.

[@Rubeless]

Impressive. That bike is a beast.

[@metaldog7128]

👍 look out boys here comes the thunder

[@jasosmurray137]

It's kinda cool how it's barely putting down any revs and is just clearing full doubles

[@bryansmith1237]

Loved the motor in my old 600. Hated how heavy it was.

[@mike300406]

power hog

[@sessiontelemetric5618]

Man! The force is with you! Isn’t that the bike that made the Kessel run in 12 parsecs?

[@bradleymorris8875]

127 sails it ... then fails to gap the John Deer Tractor ... epic ride.

[@xsausa3339]

Super !!!

[@julenropitini3989]

First time I’ve seen another Gilliam on KZbin, lol. Nice riding. I go to haspen acres in Indiana to ride. They have a nice track as well

[@Megakoolguy357]

The xr600 sounds almost mellow compared with the 650l. Keep making it look easy!

[@Megakoolguy357]

@M Diggingit sounds good. The 650L is really quiet stock.

[@randymarsh-Tegridy420]

Can you pick it up like Scott Summers?

I subscribed. I remember Scott Summer racing that bike and winning. I never rode one, but after watching you on a motocross track with one, now I know how Scott was able to do what he did...low end power!
