@mrdirtyharry1000 It is a four stroke, but it's a dual-sport/trail bike sort of thing. That means it's geared up for speed. That along with the 650cc's makes it very capable.
@Jakalwarrior Less power than a modern four stroke 250? Uh, motocross 250's make on average 35hp from the factory. These bikes make 55-60hp depending on year, and that's with the anti-smog and fairly restrictive exhaust. The 650L still makes a very respectable amount of power for being a road legal dirt bike.
That "ancient" engine design also means Honda has taken the years to iron out all the kinks, so the engine is nearly indestructible and will last far longer than a lot of other engines.
@texasG04 it depends how much you weigh and how long your legs are. I'm 5'11 and I can comfortably touch the ground. I wouldn't go on a tight trail on it though.
Most cars will kill most dirtbikes on top speed , but dirtbikes aint built for top speed .. damn im pretty sure a 450 4t or 500 2t would eat most cars in the first 1/4 mile !!
most cars will go 120mph , bikes top out around 60-100 , aint surprising a car will eat a dirtbike in top speed ..
From zero to 60 the XR wins, there's no way around that, but in the long run displacement and gearing take over. This guy is not a good shifter though, he keeps the bike in each gear too long , over the peak, then SHIFTS. Thats not going to get you the best performance.
If the guy on the bike wouldve leaned forward just a lil bit more that wouldve helped...lol,,,i agree with JMSuperman,,,put the Stang in the dirt lmaoooo
My dream bike is an R1 but realistically I will end up getting either a 650L or a zx6r. I'll get one of those bikes not only because I have virtually no experience but also because of the fucked up gas prices.
@cschilli68 What year is your R1? The new ones get around 33 mpg from what I understand. I don't know what the older ones get however even if you do own an 05 or whatever, to be getting close to 50 mph I bet your really dogging it in and out of 4th and 5th gear.
my XR 650L gets up to 0-80 real fast, then past that, the gearing has ran out and RPM's are to high. but the acceleration is incredible for a off road bike.
apples to oranges but fun to watch anyway. 5.0's are indeed fun but i agree that xl or xr 650 is king. that dude is right, the 650's proved to be a tough motor in the baja. good lookin bike too
@jmssuperman why would you take a cruising car into the dirt ? that doesn´t make any sense. vehicles are forced to use roads to come from point a to point b so your point is invalid - and I seriously wonder how there can be 46 tards to give your comment a good rating. what do you use to come from point a to point b ? the road or a filthy off road course ? what do you use to drive to work ? a road or a dirty off road course ? enough said.
@3O2MuStAnG Why would you race a car against a bike like this? That doesn't make any sense. These bikes are forced to use roads where douches like you are driving from point A to point B in a poor attempt to race when you know you're going to win to boost your self esteem-so your comment is invalid-and I seriously wonder how there can be one tard like you, who thinks I give a shit about "good ratings." It was a comment to note that they are 2 different vehicles and the people agree. Enough said.
@jmssuperman I like how you act as if you were forced to insult me just to make your point. just goes to show how uneducated and desperate you are since you don´t have any proper arguments. at the end of the day you´re still gonna use the road - case closed. feel free to keep acting butt hurt.
@3O2MuStAnG Hell yeah I was. You come up out of the blue attacking me and getting all pissed off because I said something about a Mustang. This entire argument is pointless. My first comment simply stated that the two vehicles in question were not on their proper terrain for a legitimate race and I went about it by using a funny, but true declarative statement...
@jmssuperman ...And by the way, I have a bachelor's degree from a University and I am currently working on two more in the aviation field. I hold several pilot ratings including a CFII and rotorcraft. So...what have you done with your life?
@jmssuperman i agree with you, and i have a 71 vw baja bug, i drive it to school every day and all i do is take dirt roads i only hit pavment to cross to another dirt road
take this thing into the Baja and the only thing that can come close to beating it is a 800hp trophy truck. This bike is King for what its made to do. it wins the baja 1000 almost if not every yr. 1000 mile race across the desert.
@username2153 Yeah, offroad bikes generally aren't very fast. They often have rather steep effect curves, so that you don't have to rev the engine as much in order to accelerate fast. However, that also makes -- and don't ask me why, because I'm not an expert on engines -- the maximum effect low compared to other bikes with the same cylinder volume. Also, this bike has a four stroke engine. Perhaps your Honda has a two stroke one? A two stroke engine can produce higher effect at the same #cc.
@not4resale Well, I think his bike is4resale... lol... I am not familiar with the XR650L gearbox but they are not quite the same as those found in an R6 or other supersport that tolerate clutch-less up-shift. I have never liked the feeling of missing the clutch during an up-shift on the bigger thumpers. Occasionally you miss the clutch or it fails and the bike will usually up-shift anyway (At least it will on the XR650R and KTM 690) but I wouldn't do it otherwise.
@DecaPierce a xr650l will max out a little over 95. its all geared up for offroad so once you get above 65 theres not much grunt left. ive got about all the mods minus the piston. and ive gotten mine up to around 97
@DecaPierce well enduros arent really made for speed. really wish they would start making more enduros with 6 gears tho i always try and shift my bike sometimes and just hope there would be a sixth gear on the highway. you must of been pushing that drz pretty hard to get it up to 106. but thats nuts you got going that fast. and klrs are real heavy. im sure more people have gotten there xrs up to higher speeds but i dont like to push my bike so hard that i feel like something might go wrong.
That's all relative to weight and wind. I am fat and a billboard in the wind, so mine will hit about 90-95 with me on it. With a friend on it who is 100 pounds lighter and alot less wind drag, my bike has hit 112. Air temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and even your oil are all factors in top speed too. It just depends.
Had me a XR650L once-did some tuning on it/removed emissions/and did the carb job-it was a fast bike, wonderful ride till it got about 80 and then the wind would just blow the bars around on it-had it to about 105MPH--that was about it--really-it runs too hot, weighs too much and will kill you off road. I loved it, but it didnt love me..HA HA HA
Not bad.. I have a Yamaha XT600 and i can out accelerate most typical cars til about 100 km/h. You should have started the drag from a complete stop and pulled away in 2nd gear.
Just purchased an XR650L, (1994 model) and it is a beast!! Cobra pipes and re-jetted with a down grade in teeth; coupled with all emission elements gone! She had just 2000 miles on her and let me tell you something... THE SHIT ROCKS LIKE NO OTHER BIKE...!!
I love her... People just stop and stare at her because of her graceful lines coupled with a mind blowing look of sheer power. Like a Pit Bull!!
@motokev :) I think you're right. Someone referred to the 610 as similar to an uncorked xl600. far from it. I have ridden both and the xl is a great bike but not nearly as powerful.
@88rodeo Get a life and a clue fucktard. My comment was 9 months ago and was in reference to comment that has nothing to do with what you are trying to say. I have a 650L, I know it's not made to race asshat.
Anyone that has rode a 650L would know that you don't rev it to the moon. Peak HP and torque happens well before even when this guy shifted it. The engine is designed to have great, usable torque throughout the entire RPM range, which it does quite well- but it falls on it's face early in the RPMs. I have an '08 650L which gets insulted by just about any modern car after 50 MPH- it is too heavy, too slow, and too primitive. Still fun enough, but not good at much.
What people don't realize is the xr is not designed as a performance street bike so this is completely out of it's element. This race is just for shits and giggles. Now they should of had 2 types of races to make it fair. One street race in the mustangs element and one off road race thru the boonies in the XR's element. Then one race with a combination of both street and off road. Then see who wins 2 outta 3...
@AnotherUserr Of Course, that is why they are on the road in the first place and why I said they should race a combination of street and off road. The XR650L was designed from a true off road bike (for it's time) from the Baja winning XR600R driven by Scott Summer and actually wasn't a bad off roader dual purpose till the new breed of Ktm's and Husky's. As we know driving a true off roader on the road would be illegal and we wouldn't want to break the law now, would we? LOL.
@nimlil couldnt agree with you more,owned several very quick machines in my life mustang cobra being one of them, something to be said for the rush when you're on the gas.but theres more to a vehical than just speeding around though and reliability was always an issue and worrying about your drivers licence sucked. when i compare all my rides to the 98 xr 600 i had a year ago the xr wins out because it scored high in more than just one category. regret selling it,gonna get anouther one.
@JACKAU93 That would be fun. Could do towing capacity, manoverabilty, comfort, wheelie ability, luggage room, extreme jumps, Average time from Seattle to the Florida Keys for a beer run, Supercross and rush hour traffic could be some of the comparisons. Loser buys beer!!!
what people don't realize is that cars are much faster than they appear, it's harder to notice their acceleration because you're enclosed and on a seat but make no mistake, cars are pretty fast and they definitely corner better, harder and faster than motorcycles.
Traction a bike gets plenty of, it just sucks to keep down the front wheel with a lot of traction. Aerodynamics suck on a bike compared to a small car though.
Tell that to any state patrolman that would not have a snowball's chance in hell of catching a bike without his radio and a band of cronies. Even a road anchor cruiser can outrun a car with a good rider- a slouch cafe bike with 100HP (most are far more than that these days) still only has 400-500 pounds to push, verses 300-400 HP in a 4000+ pound squad car. It doesn't take a math whiz to see which has the advantage.
i had a 2002 xr650L. The only mods were a rejetted carb, and a K&N air filter.. it would stomp any Mustang from a dead stop, to about 45 mph. after that, almost any car has more power.
Neither can be stock. The xr650l does not have any of its emissions crap left on the motor and its to loud to have a stock exhaust. As on XR650L owner I know with a little work they stomp most cars all day long so the mustang must not be stock either.
Yeah I found when I'm in the city my xr gets pretty thirsty compared to your modern compact car, but then again I'm usually running it faster. Maybe that wouldn't be the case if the bike was fuel injected?
The top speed on the bike is about 100

Anyone that has rode a 650L would know that you don't rev it to the moon. Peak HP and torque happens well before even when this guy shifted it. The engine is designed to have great, usable torque throughout the entire RPM range, which it does quite well- but it falls on it's face early in the RPMs. I have an '08 650L which gets insulted by just about any modern car after 50 MPH- it is too heavy, too slow, and too primitive. Still fun enough, but not good at much.

Let's see you race a Mustang, or anything on your 450.

I have, and was not overly impressed. Of course, I ride a KX-500 and drive a supercharged Mustang, so it takes a lot to impress me.
blown8950 2 years ago
What people don't realize is the xr is not designed as a performance street bike so this is completely out of it's element. This race is just for shits and giggles. Now they should of had 2 types of races to make it fair. One street race in the mustangs element and one off road race thru the boonies in the XR's element. Then one race with a combination of both street and off road. Then see who wins 2 outta 3...

@nimlil Honda XR650L is not an off-road bike. It was designed for road. Honda HR650R is an off-road motorcycle.
AnotherUserr 1 year ago
@AnotherUserr Of Course, that is why they are on the road in the first place and why I said they should race a combination of street and off road. The XR650L was designed from a true off road bike (for it's time) from the Baja winning XR600R driven by Scott Summer and actually wasn't a bad off roader dual purpose till the new breed of Ktm's and Husky's. As we know driving a true off roader on the road would be illegal and we wouldn't want to break the law now, would we? LOL.

@nimlil couldnt agree with you more,owned several very quick machines in my life mustang cobra being one of them, something to be said for the rush when you're on the gas.but theres more to a vehical than just speeding around though and reliability was always an issue and worrying about your drivers licence sucked. when i compare all my rides to the 98 xr 600 i had a year ago the xr wins out because it scored high in more than just one category. regret selling it,gonna get anouther one.

what people don't realize is that cars are much faster than they appear, it's harder to notice their acceleration because you're enclosed and on a seat but make no mistake, cars are pretty fast and they definitely corner better, harder and faster than motorcycles.
gsotodotcom 2 years ago
i think your very wrong on the acceleration part. it takes alot more HP in a car to out accelerate even a 600cc street bike

It's called power to weight ratio.
Bike out accelerates cars unless the car is heavily modded.

bandguy360 2 years ago
Traction a bike gets plenty of, it just sucks to keep down the front wheel with a lot of traction. Aerodynamics suck on a bike compared to a small car though.

@gsotodotcom
Tell that to any state patrolman that would not have a snowball's chance in hell of catching a bike without his radio and a band of cronies. Even a road anchor cruiser can outrun a car with a good rider- a slouch cafe bike with 100HP (most are far more than that these days) still only has 400-500 pounds to push, verses 300-400 HP in a 4000+ pound squad car. It doesn't take a math whiz to see which has the advantage.
roadtoad777 1 year ago
@roadtoad777 Yup...its easy to outrun the squad car...but its hard to out run the radio, and swarms of doughnut hogs :P

i had a 2002 xr650L. The only mods were a rejetted carb, and a K&N air filter.. it would stomp any Mustang from a dead stop, to about 45 mph. after that, almost any car has more power.
opiewontaylor 2 years ago
Neither can be stock. The xr650l does not have any of its emissions crap left on the motor and its to loud to have a stock exhaust. As on XR650L owner I know with a little work they stomp most cars all day long so the mustang must not be stock either.
