Looking forward to watching your Baja trip, stay safe and give her the beans

Those things are like the Cummings diesel of the dirt bike world.

@@highlandcycles good luck dude! This is on my radar for a trip with my brother. Super happy to get to see you do it first

Yes adjusting idle with extreme altitudes ya learn to do. Mine has thum screw adjuster. After watching this have to take the BRP OUT

No better feeling than riding your XR650R with dialed suspension and floating over the roughest shat you’ve seen 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 good luck and be safe down in Baja all us 650R owners are rooting you on 🤘🏻🤘🏻

I had a 97 xr 250. Pretty dang good bike!

I have the 2002 XR 650 R also you are definitely driving that bike like an animal

Nice! Up north here we need 3 to 4 kicks. Cold

Just got back from a night ride on the 2000 XR650R and sat down to watch this video. She’s a big girl but she sure is fun to ride.

I LOVE IT !!! Love hearing that thumper work. The suspension looks pretty dialed man.

Yeah, I am really happy with it.

I love my XR650R so much. I wish that the rear brake didn't suck so badly. I wish that Honda designed a better right footpeg mount (mine is bent now from bashing rocks). I often wish I had a 6th gear. But man the fun factor is just so high and you can take them anywhere on almost any trail. Kick only is just fine with me.

We all wish for that 6th gear😢

definitely don't want to pick the big red pig up too many times lol. Great bikes, I ran one back in the day on single tracks, it was a handful

Great video!

PRC!!!🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

I think the weight of the XR at desert speeds actually helps keep it stable and planted, that is a nice looking KDX in your garage, you should take it with you on your day rides and and put a few hours on it here and there, those are fun bikes, especially in the woods.

Looks like the bike is ready to go Morgan. It's a beast of a Honda

Take a small piece of radiator hose rubber or the equivalent shim that ram mount to the bar. Then it won’t rotate. Make sure it’s powered by a MotoPower3.1 direct to the battery. 👍🇺🇸〰️🦅
