Getting an XR650
« on: March 27, 2015, 09:36:00 AM »
So my days of going to glamis are done, I love the sand but can never seem to get out there so the quads gonna go. My brother rides a crf450 and the rest of my family that rides are on bikes so when me and my brother go riding together my quad is more of a rock crawler on the trails and I just don't want to beat it that hard. So why not trade it for an XR. I have a guy interested in trading this weekend but and it is a 07 xr650l (bone stock, air cooled, electric start) but I don't know if I should hold out on a 650r (liquid cooled and kick start, more power and a few other differences). Can't really decide on which one to get though. I'm mainly gonna be trail riding and using it on the street so the electric start bike sounds ideal to me but having the lighter r model that's liquid cooled also sounds like a good option. So any dual sport guys or honda guys have some insight and opinions for me?

If the R is currently registered there is no question.  The L model is 50 lbs heavier and much softer suspension.

Well that's the issue. The l model is registered in ca and the r model I might be trading for was purchased in ca at Langston but is registered in az. The bike is currently at a shop in quail valley and the owner lives in canyon lake but he is in az for work right now. A link to the r model http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/mcy/4877866408.html

Either way those are some big ole heavy bikes IMO

Suzuki DR400 has e start or u could sell your quad and get a KTM with Estart

On the street you would probly want the liquid cooled.

I had a 01 650r for 5 years. They're badass and super powerful and heavy I think 280 stock. Once you go down though they are a son of a bitch to start. Once you get the trick down its simpler.
650r and yz426 lol most difficult bikes to start once you go down

But if you do it up right you can do over 100 easily on the 650r
