If it says XR that's the only one you should consider in my opinion. Granted my first bike was the1993 XR250R and i trail ride. Let me tell you, that bike is UNSTOPPABLE. TOUGH AS NAILS. It surprised me on almost every ride in one way or another. Some examples.... So it was almost a week into owning my XR250R and i didn't have a very good place for riding.... but i couldn't stay off of the thing. So i can loop thru my yard, up across the gravel drive i shared with my other two neighbors, across a slightly sloping grass lot 75 yds long and then I'd be at the beginning of my driveway looking onto hwy 104. So i did something incredibly dumb... I shot across the hwy and up a decently sloped gravel drive which i had never been up before. And man that torque was feeling so damn good that i was in 5th of 6 gears and hauling ass blind to the rd ahead. Well besides having no shoulder most of the way and possibly hittig someone leaving down the driveway head on at 50 mph. The damned driveway forked! Well either I went sharp rigth or sharp left, or straight into an almost 90° embankment. I slammed on the brakes and. slid sideways in a skid and then straightened her up at the last second and went into the wall at about 30mph. The bike didnt flinch!
Also much later. Already replaced the rear wheel bearings and front shock seals... I was riding some logging roads and by that I mean skidder tracks, not these nicely graveled and maintained logging roads for log trucks.... Well there were ruts and puddles in there of course this is Washington State. The XR LOVES water and mud etc... but I didn't know just how much till I'm tooling along and it's getting muddy since I was coming to the bottom of a swale. The ruts where the only place to ride because everything else was way too rough at this point. Well these ruts both became 30 or so foot long pools and didn't appear any deeper than the others. I stopped at the beginning, tucked my clothes up and headed in... Within 6feet it was almost to the head on the motor. I got it into second gear and got ON the throttle. The bike was so deep that I had my legs lifted up out of the trench rut it was in and my legs were just about level with the ground and my heels were pushing dirt. I had no shifter contact I pinned the sucker and she bellowed the sweetest bubbly bark that became a steaming scream through the super trapp exhaust and I BARELY CRAWLED OUT THE OTHER SIDE. I don't know how really. Water was basically to the seat. My ass got wet going 2mph with full fenders. There was water draining out of the airbox drain when I pulled the plug. Honda has built a snorkel that went ABOVE the airbox and it took a slug of water but once I got in the throttle because I started to bog, it was fine. If not for Honda designing the bike the way they did on the airbox. It would have killed the motor. I'm saying that the bike was MADE FOR THE SHIT. BUILT FOR IT. Trail riding is where it shines. Low speed torque, fuel economy, heavy duty steel frame. Not a motocross champion.... But don't think you couldn't jump her like any other track bike either. Just truly legendary. Bulletproof. Thanks Honda for the memories and the ride. She never died on me and I had to sell her.

Both lovely bikes. So many xr fanboys here though. If it’s not a 100km Dakar then crf450 will outrace the xr any day weight and hp wise.. but still, prefer xr! Awesome vintage bike (the older ones)
Lol xr650 is more like 40 ish hp stock. Not to mention how heavy it is. Sorry but xr’s can’t compete to a crf450 unless suitable conditions (maybe dakar lol)

Never should of stopped making liquid cooled alloy frame 650 , just kept going like drz400’s
Both absolute beasts
This brings back memories of MX vs ATV untamed
Good ol 650 is untouchable once it gets into its last gear
If had a chance to experience this for a moment it will be one of the best times of my life
Im a 2 stroke man , but im starting to want an xr 650 r . seems like the ultimate dooms day bike .
Have both 🤘🏼😊
Excellent bug-out bike

Fuckin love the outro
Inside line..Huh! I ll go on the inside line...When?..Now.
Good video had xt600 firetrails 100klm an hr loud GOOD BUZZ
Woo XT gang.
You can literally hear how much quicker the race bike revs compared to the chook chaser 650. Love em both but.
I have a 650r 2001 great bike

Badass

The frame on an XR is all steel. And tough oooooeeeee
Had a fat header and a super trapp exhaust installed

These new 450's are fast as hell and stupid light
Maybe t's because of the gearing. the xr650 gearing can be changed.
@@FUNKBOOGIE1 can it, i tought they welded it permanent on 650 :P

Daniel Bargas but blow up in 6 months while the 650 last decades
Beautiful 650❤
What kind of tank is that on the xr650
Nima Sherpa the original one.
Que lindo que lindas motos
Dylan Allerborn English please?
bello sonido
@@bilko17 "good bikes"
He said How beautiful what beautiful bikes
Epic bike riding 😎😎😎
It's a good price 2k for a 07 650 Honda? It's in great condition
Juanelo Sanchez what are you talking about?
@@bilko17 I'm about to get a bike Honda 450cc or 650 for 2000 dollars I'm asking if it's a good deal??
Juanelo Sanchez $200 for a 650 is great. 450 not sure. Depends on year.
Honda - cool! super speed
Sup mate
f yeah!
@1m50.. he kill it....
sic af
Hey u fulaz still ridin still got the 4fidy?
Still riding mate but sold the 450. Got a Xr650r now.
@@bilko17 450 is off its head
I'd take the 650 any day of the week
I'd take 450
Who is better ? More power ?
Xr or xrf?
@@TeComiElHoyo got an XR400 600 and 650 many of i rather the 600 more like a tractor
Go the postie bike lol

The 450 may have power to weight on the 650 but the 650 will run like that forever instead of 11 hrs lol
650 has a FMF power core doesn't it or stain tune
FMF mate
But can they beat a CRF50?
Lol Nice Video mate!
Hahaha. It would be close.
bruv that xr eats
CRF450 53HP 32Torque
XR650 61HP 47 Torque
This is painfully inaccurate. The XR doesn't make anywhere close to 61
Ya, with race spec builds on both bike. More like. Xrr (50hp/38 ft lbs) Crf-X (44hp/28 ft lbs) averages uncorked.
Lol xr650 is more like 40 ish hp stock. Not to mention how heavy it is. Sorry but xr’s can’t compete to a crf450 unless suitable conditions (maybe dakar lol)
@@okerhrh4139 depends on which XR you are talking about
it does actually,search after it@@StrykerV8
That guys is reckless, no gear, tank top, no knee brace, goes foot out hard.
Jonathan Gruen haha.
He's an Aussie, mate. Hes gotta show off for all the Shielas!
thats how i rode from 12 onwards... altho i did have boots on, sometimes mx pants and jersy , helmet was always on tho...
what's a knee brace?
I love it from the USA straight balls out!!!
At full chat no way the lighter more powerful 450 is going to catch the BRP
cmb scx10 that’s for sure. They are quicker off the mark but that doesn’t last long.
@@bilko17 I just commented above that i was surprised that the 650 held its own against that 450x. Pretty crazy
A stock 650 is pretty tame…..not after you get it into HRC Baja mode, which is still less stressed, more reliable and to quiet than any 450
xr 650r has 10more hps :D
Gde je ovo brate ?
Merriwa New South Wales Australia mate. 🤙🏼
@@bilko17 Rock 🤘 on
Is the xr650 an L or an R?
R :)
It’s an R mate. I now own one aswell. No longer have the 450
I also just bought one, the best decision I have ever made...Plus it's street legal.
This is the R...i have one and it’s 18 years old! Riding like yesterday...that sound...that freedom...
It looks like the 650r just has the legs over the 450. Both awesome bikes.
At this point its rider
