Showroom to TRACK: 2024 XR650L 

That's got to suck when you're racing your lightweight motocross bike, and some dude honks his horn and passes you on a big pig😂

That is truly amazing to be there competing on a bike that weighs nearly double than your competition which have more HP on top of it. I've owned these bikes and I can't imagine competing against motocross bikes that feel like a mtn bike in size and weight compared to a top heavy XR650L. In addition to that, you finished at such a high level; you are quite a talented rider. "Fast Guys - Slow Bikes" couldn't be anymore fitting.

Glad to see you making content again. As a previous and probably future owner of a XR650L, I can feel the forks flexing through the TV. 😂

Jacob, took your advise and purchased an Lectron carburetor for my 1990 XR600R ($900). Just installed and got it running. I'm here to tell you I'm a happy sumbitch. My bike came alive, it runs like a scald ape. Thank you for your suggestion. Myron Davis

Smashing passes while on the way to milk the cows.. love it. P.S you should flick an indicator on while railing the outside passing 😂

That is an awesome video. I never ride my ‘23 XR650L that hard, but I’m 67. Good job.

I was on an rmz250 and you passed me on this thing, my mind was blown

Came from the xr Facebook group.I had to see to believe. This is legendary 😂

the horn honks make my day

Man I missed your content! Started watching when I bought my XRR a few years ago. What happened to yours? Either way I love the classic look that the XRL still has. Haul ass!

Yep definitely getting a xr650l

Was looking for a do all bike. Some dirt and some supermoto and I think you might have confirmed what I want

Grate having you back and see your videos. Can’t wait to see and learn about all the mods that can be done. I also ride an XR650L. You saw it a month ago at IndianTown HS. Thank you for your blog and videos.

as they say its 80% rider, 20% bike...classic old XR nipping at heels haha

Stumbled across this video after buying a new XR650L, liked & subscribed! This is the stuff!

So proud of the big pig. Go Big Red! I think Honda owes ya a little something. I'm sure ya will be hearing from them soon.

Nice video. Love My XR. Don't fix what ain't broken.

Woohoo🔥🔥 So funny to see the bike hauling butt, but you can barely hear it cause the stock exhaust is lame sauce. 😂 Bet it was interesting to ride with such high rear tire pressure. Ohh how I have missed the peep peep as you catch full kitted race bikes.🔥

Wouah! You go to far! What's next? Transalp 650? África twin? Dominator 650? Hope for you not anymore 650L! I'm sure the horn can be fitted on your XRR 600, it looks less painful than the L! Carry on with the XRR, you represents greatly the XR's community. ✌️

Man is amazing how good this bike is right of the showroom, I got a 2023 also and I love it I wanna take it more to the trails!

There is nothing more satisfying than watching and riding a massive bike so competently. Surly has made me a much more competitive rider ripping a 500lb loaded bushpig around.

Congrats! Missed your videos!

You’re my hero. Second coming of Scott Summers. Keep honking!

Jake and Anatoly are worlds best trolls! LMAO I am so glad to see you are making a new video!

I am 6'2" and have owned 2 of these bikes and i would never dream of racing them. One day i would like to shake your hand.

What is it about the "big bikes" like this that motivate you to ride them and push them? Just curious. Obviously I think most big bore thumper owners have a soft spot for them, you just rarely see people push them as hard as they clearly are capable. It seems that everyone wants a

He´s back! Congrats for the race, nice to see new stuff from you. Cheers.

The horn is a hoot !!! How many know its you and you better git out of the way?

You’re back! Yes!!!!!

Imagine riding for years off and on and get passed by this guy on your 450 likes he's tomac. I'd get passed too. Never seen a big "red" pig go fast like this dude. Great ride!

Good to have you back on the right bike!

We can handle a bit of dirt on the screen, it’s great you’re on it instantly but be safe mate! Bloody great video💪

Your a great rider to ride such a 4 stroke pig.. How many desert and enduro Championships have been won on this mount? I Love Honda

Truly epic ride. Dude you are an animal. Great composure. Especially with 25 psi in the rear. Hats off to you.

I love these bikes, great machines especially once you get a full exhaust, Lectron Carb and proper suspension. I prefer to ride them over regular dirt bikes.

Thanks for the content. I wondered where you went. Keep them coming.

Thats crazy man running on motocross tracks. Cool to see it performs on that

if you are up north.....give NYOA a chance....7/28 ditch banger.....worth the ride

I would have literally wired that tire to that rim 😆

Viewer 173 at one hour old... Good race there. Challenging for sure with such stiff suspension. A couple times there the front brake line hit your camera.

That's funny, Stan rode silver b with me ,because he didn't want to put new numbers on. Great riding BTW, as always

Keep up the good work on the big fights

Kickass Thanks for posting. That was awesome. My bike comes in this week.

That goes to show how good the XR650L is.

Mad props man!

Pretty Fkn impressive sir.

Nice to see you back. Love the videos. I ride an 04 pig, a 23 pig, and a ktm 300xcw. Love my ktm but gotta say i spend way more time on one of the pigs. Theyre my go to bike for sure. If you ever hit wyoming look me up.

You killed it, or it killed you? Either way big win for the tried and true tractor bike and you!!!

Obviously he's a fast and extremely fit A grader ,just shows what a good rider can do with a older style bike.🎉

My God. Someone get that bike some asthma medication!

My favorite YT channel by far!! I have an old 93 XR650l with loads of mods so I can really appreciate what you achieve with these antique designs. I have watched your for a few years and enjoyed every one of your videos..not sure if you have a fork brace or not but I would suggest one if you havent yet, they are especially effective on tight trails. Please keep safe and the great videos coming!! Cheers😎

I love my 650r,680 big bore,stage 1 hot cam,crf450 fork and trx700 fuel injection. Great bikes too much fun.

Kick ass! I love it

Hell yeah. Love it!

So happy to see a new video after so long!

Wondering how a KTM 690 would work for you in a race like this. It's supposed to be KTM's modern version of the XR650L. Not because KTM interests me, but because I'm interested in how good the XR650L is...

Dude!!! You're the GOAT!!! You must be an ox to control that big beastie like that! I just bought my 1st motorcycle - 2021 XR650L (647 original miles). Previous owner was a racer hoping to make his XR something it wasn't (his words). Only upgrade he didn't do was a Lectron carb - everything else done from when he drove it off the showroom. and YOU DID THAT RACE on a STOCK ride - amazing.

I can feel the weight of this pig when he’s floating in the air.

The level of riding, with 25psi in the rear on its own, let alone you’re on a 650, AND the camerawork was flawless?!?Insane.

Hey man how reliable are these brand new xr650l’s? I’m so tired of people saying the old discontinued xr’s are the best bikes ever I had a 2003 xr650r and it was the biggest pile of shit ever. Never wanted to start and always made a ticking sound in the engine no matter what I did to it

That was sick! Did you do anything to the carb? In stock carb form these machines are soo much slower

7:30 "I gotta throw my leg real high, so watch your... you know...face." Spoken like a true XR rider.

Insane! Freaking love it!

Missed your videos!. Also really like this camera angle, are you using a gopro?

Pretty impressive!

@15:20? ish haahaha post honk, he hears the other bike, looks OTHER way, passed on outside by BRP.... MANNNN if this isn't classic hare scramble when I was growing up.

Going Beast Mode 🤘. Are you going to change out springs?

Awesome 🎉 he is back

Buddy your camera settings are unreal. Great video! Handy on that tractor too, looked like a tonne of fun

Nice tractor.

Great ride.

So glad you’re back

Awesome

Fuck yeah!

Nice ride man. Hope to see you at the next one.

Welcome back! How was the suspension? Will you do anything to it in the future? Looked a little stiff.

Do you still have the 650R ?

Is that thing electric??? Lol its so quiet.

Great to see you 2 back❤

Your back!

my god that thing is a pig!

good job on the monster

It's about time!

lol.....gotta throw my leg REAL high....sure do...if you don't....O'sh*t....first part that got thrown in the box

This video has much wrong in it. I can't even articulate everything fast enough for my thoughts. Good content though.

Welcome back

Chrome gas cap is amusing

XRRRRRR matey

Man I wish we could still buy these brand new in Australia we haven’t had them sold here since 06

Hell yeah!

now if im not mistaken there should be a hole with a rubber bung in the rim just for a rim lock but if not take tire off drill a hole in the center of the rim (from the inside thats why to take the tire off) opposite of the valve stem and put a rim lock in if this bike was for only road id advise against it but since your gonna be doing this kinda stuff it sounds necessary its that or buy a aftermarket rim that has a hole in it already

Well done.

YOU ARE 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻champion bro wow GOD BLESS YOU

Put a fast rider on anything and he will do good, nice riding brother

Need that electron the stock carb sucks on the 650l

Great video!! Love me some big bore XR Honda!!

7:50 was this guy accusing you of having your bike running?

Do you think you would have finished better than 19th on your 250x?

For sale like new only rode once and never crashed.

Nice!!! You still running the 650R as well?
