Been looking at dual sports lately and thought I would look at used. I tried out a Honda XR 650 L last night. it was in great condition!
Wow, its tall! I am 5'8 and I had to jump up and swing my leg around to get on it. I could have one foot down on my tippy toes while sitting on it.
I did not have stock gears so I was very torquey. It was loud with a super trap muffler.
I finally mounted the thing and it took off, Very fun. I cut across someones lawn ,oops.
The guy wanted 3 grand and it was worth it, but I am not a huge fan of Hondas so much. It would only need better tires (has real knobbies now) and the stock gearing back on for my taste. He has the gears and just put a new battery last night. Hmm, very temping though. I took it out for 2 test drives b/c I could not decide. I told him I would sleep on it and told him no this morning, but now............I am not so sure. I would save a lot of money buying used.
