2025 HONDA XR650L TEST

Описание: #offroad #motorcycle #adventure #news #sports
This week we were visited by a ghost from the past. Honda delivered an XR650L dual-sport bike. It’s actually no ghost at all–it’s a 2025 model, but it very much seems like an apparition from another time. We asked for the test bike because it has the distinction of having the longest run of any Honda in the current line. It was first introduced in 1993 and carried a price of $4399. Now the 2025 model is $6999. In real money, it’s actually gone down in price. In 1993, you could buy a house in Southern California for $200,000. Now it’s $900,000. It’s the exact same bike, too. Same carburetor, same motor, same frame. Okay, it’s a different color and there were reportedly some minor changes in 1994. Interesting fact: It’s still made in Japan. Most other bikes in this price range have been relocated to Southeast Asia. That’s what happened to the Kawasaki KLR650, and that’s how it carries an MSRP of $6899. That’s also where the Honda CRF300R and the XR150 are made. Honda hasn’t altered the XR’s tooling in 32 years, and that apparently saves a lot of money.
