I just refurbished a 1997 XR650l and added a lot of anodized parts and polished a lot parts along with Renthol, DID, ect repainted frame white polished aluminum skid plate tusk shifter , Nice CNC ect, I thought I was the only one who wanted a pretty Honda XR, I will never take it in the dirt it’s a fair day back road riding beast!

The Big Red Pig! Man I love the XR650R. A guy I was in the Navy with owned a XR650R. He was instrumental in introducing me to riding and racing the desert. Man, Kap when you pulled up and let it idle for the camera that sound brought back so many memories. Keep up the great work.

Bought a new exc 500 a few years ago and modded it right out, but could not sell my trusty 650r. She’s having a well deserved brake now since the new Ktm came but I can never part with it! Get a fcr carb from a 2008 crf 250 or 450 on that bike! Best mod I done on my 650r! Also needs a 15 front sprocket to take advantage of all that torque ❤️ Next find a Ktm 950/990 adventure, I bet youll be all smiles and roost going everywhere! Haha
