2024 Honda® XR650L

DO-IT-ALL DUAL-SPORT

A true Honda classic, there’s a reason the XR650L continues to have a hugely loyal following. Tough, basic, and tested, this dual-sport motorcycle features a torquey air-cooled single-cylinder engine, rugged steel frame, and long-travel suspension. Electric starting and street-legal lighting make it good for commuting, while black rims and a black seat modernize the look. In an age of techno-wizardry, the XR stands tall as an uncomplicated bike that’s ready for any adventure you can throw its way.

Features may include:

PERFORMANCE

FOUR-STROKE ENGINE

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

DISC BRAKES

Front and rear disc brakes provide superior stopping power. Both front and rear disc rotors are drilled for lightness and better wet-weather performance.

CONVENIENCE

ELECTRIC STARTER

Adventure is just the push of a button away. The 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.

QUICK-RELEASE FASTENERS

Accessing the air filter, battery, and fuse box is fast and easy, thanks to the quick-release fasteners on the left sidecover.

VERSATILITY

STREET-LEGAL FEATURES

While the XR650L is a great off-road bike, it’s also 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.

PASSENGER READY

With a passenger grab strap, folding passenger pegs, a long MX-style seat and plenty of Honda power, the XR650L lets you carry a passenger with ease.

DESIGN

SEALED BATTERY

No maintenance hassles here, even in the case of an off-road tip over. The sealed battery has plenty of cranking power for the electric starter, and is well protected from the vibrations of off-road riding.

DRY-SUMP LUBRICATION

The XR’s dry-sump design keeps the engine compact and eliminates the oil pan for superior ground clearance and damage resistance. Plus, with the engine oil in the frame, the frame itself acts like a giant oil cooler.

HANDLING

18-INCH REAR WHEEL

The 18-inch rear wheel gives you a better overall ride and more sidewall protection against flats, and still offers a wide choice of on- or off-road tires.

21-INCH FRONT WHEEL

The 21-inch front wheel gives you a wide choice of tire selection for different riding conditions.
