Price and Reserve reduced! This will be the last time it will be listed. You are looking at an Exceptional Dual Sport Motorcycle. It performs great on the highway, Forest Service roads and open trails. This has been Honda's main, all-around, go-to, street legal Dual Sport motorcycle for years. They designed it right to begin with and really have done little to change it. Hey, there are other nice (and not-so-nice) XR650L motorcycles here on eBay. Some are newer, some are older. Most are box stock, some are thrashed. Some are pretty high-mileage. Some are XR650R made street legal (you hope). Some are "Frankensteined" into Motard racers. Cool. We all have a right to be different. That's what is so great about the XR650L. It's a very dependable workhorse. It's a perfect, solid, reliable platform - in which to personalize it for your demands. But, since the XR650L model itself has been virtually unchanged by Honda for 24 years - it's age is basically irrelevant. What IS relevant is it's mileage, condition, how it's be cared for and by whom and what kind of upgrades you are getting for the money. And are those upgrades necessary for your needs? or do you want the ability to restore some, or all, of the bike to it's original condition? This bike has only been owned and driven by two adult, expert motorcycle riders. I bought this bike from the original owner ten years ago. He was a mid-30's family man - with another child on the way. "Time to get rid of some toys," he said. But he knew his way around motorcycles. He made a number of upgrades to the bike before I bought it. All things I would have done myself. Here's the list of the previous owner's modifications: 14 tooth counter shaft sprocket Moose Skid plate New DID 520ERV2 X-ring chain Pro-Taper CR-mid bend fat handle bar with TAG adapters Summers Racing front fork brace Summers Racing "mud skin" seal savers Galfer braided steel brake lines Galfer green brake pads Removed the air box snorkel Removed the PAIR valve and installed a Baja Designs "smog block-off kit" Installed a Dynojet carburetor "re-calibration kit" (drilled slide, replaced the slide spring, adjustable needle) Re-jetted the carb with 160/55 jets Prepped and painted the side covers Black. Looks a WHOLE lot better than the stock white covers. All in all, major improvements to the stopping power, performance, handling and appearance over a stock XR650L. OK, so I bought it, rode it and continued the tradition of generally upgrading the bike. I actually had dreams of trailering it down to San Diego and riding the full length and back of the Baja Peninsula. I wanted a reliable, efficient, dependable - and most important, COMFORTABLE ride. Especially if I was going to spend a lot of hot hours in the seat. So here's what I did to the bike: XR's Only Oil Temperature Gauge Dipstick - best investment for long distance riding! XR's Only Frame AND Engine Magnetic Oil Drain Plugs XR's Only Case/Cover Guard XR's Only Shark fin XR's Only Lowering Link - lowered center of gravity; easier access XR's Only Billet Vented Gas Cap Rear Utility and Side luggage racks - a place to attach the saddle bags and gear; keeps it off of the exhaust K&N Air Filter K&N Oil Filter Custom-designed Corbin seat - the stock seat is like riding on a 2x4. This one is set up for long distance comfort. New wide-angle mirrors New Pirelli MT90 A/T tires 90/90 x 21" front & 120/80 x 18" rear New tubes for the tires 4.7 gallon Clarke gas tank - almost doubles the stock tank capacity FMF Power Bomb Exhaust Header FMF Q2 Muffler System Stainless steel Clock and Thermometer - because it's nice to know the time and temperature when you are out riding New NGK Iridium Spark Plug Deep socket Spark Plug Wrench Brand new battery Recent oil and filter change That's just under $3,000 worth of extra upgrades and goodies on this motorcycle!!! The bike has never been down or fallen over. And it has never seen the rain. It has always been stored, under cover, in a garage or heated shop. Of course, the bike comes with the original stock, full-supplied Tool Kit and Owner's Manual. Clear Title. Two sets of Keys. And I have all the Receipts and Records for Parts and Service Work included. I also will throw in a Honda Factory Set-up and Assembly Manual that was supplied to the Dealers, instruction them on how to assemble and set-up the bike upon delivery. And, if that isn't enough, I will throw in a Honda Factory Service Manual. Plus Two additional K&N Oil Filters I also have ALL of the Original Parts that I have removed / replaced on the bike (complete original exhaust system, gas tank, stock seat, etc.). Lastly, here's a picture and a complete inventory of all of the stock, original and extra parts that are included: Gas Tank with locking gas cap Seat and Seat Strap Front Fender Gas Tank Wings / Wind Deflectors Complete Exhaust System - header pipe and muffler Front Fork Gaiters Hand Guards Original and a set of low aftermarket Mirrors Extra Gas Cap Factory engine guard Rear Foot Pegs and brackets Complete Smog/Emission Control system, hoses, brackets Plastic Chain Guard Original Carb Jets and Slide Spring and Dynojet changeover instructions Side Front Sprocket Cover Air Filter Front and Rear Brake lines Oil level Dipstick Air Box Snorkel Reflectors Acerbis low mount rear brake light And any and all additional parts All necessary bolts, screws, clamps, mounting hardware to reattach / restore all of the above This bike starts up easily, runs strong and is in exceptional condition.
