2021 Honda XR650L

In times like these, we all need something we can count on. And in the world of big-bore dual-sport bikes, nothing compares with the Honda XR650L. It’s a tough, proven survivor that’s been a cornerstone of our dual-sport lineup for decades.

Its simple, air-cooled 644cc single-cylinder engine offers legendary reliability and plenty of power, while an electric starter makes your life easier. Long-travel suspension and a rugged steel frame perfected in Baja smooth out dirt roads and in-town commutes, no matter how lousy the pavement.

Other bikes come and go, but Honda’s XR650L is in it for the long run. And you know what? That’s just the way we like it.

Features may include:

PERFORMANCE

The XR650L’s four-stroke, single-cylinder engine offers good fuel efficiency and a wide powerband. In addition, its proven powerplant requires very little maintenance.

CONVENIENCE

Adventure is just the push of a button away. The XR650L’s electric starter takes all the drama out of restarting off-road, or getting underway on a cold morning or after the bike’s been sitting all week.

Fully equipped for the street—including turn signals, license-plate light, mirrors, speedometer and more. There’s even a grab strap and footpegs for a passenger.
