Apparently these updates were fairly advanced, because Honda has not changed the XR 600 much since - except for the bold new graphics and prices!How many motorcycles can you name that won Baja 1000 races spanning a 12-year period? Not to mention nine off-road championships and dozens of other major off-road events. Only one motorcycle makes the cut: Honda's mighty XR600R. Honda's off-road four-strokes have been immensely successful in terms of both sales and race wins for decades, and the most successful of them all is the legendary XR600R. First introduced in 1985, the XR600R could claim the XR500R as its predecessor. That bike, first introduced in 1979, also proved to be a favorite of dirt riders everywhere and amassed racing victories all over the world and in a staggering variety of conditions. The XR600R introduced a number of key features, not the least of which centered on its engine, a power plant that produced lots of grunty torque as well as class-leading top-end power, all spread over an easy-to-ride, seemingly limitless range. It retained the 500's SOHC four-valve RFVC (Radial Four Valve Combustion Chamber) head for maximum valve area. The XR was fed by twin 28mm Keihin carbs (the same as the 500's except for revised jetting). Spent gasses exited through a new, longer, twin headpipe system and redesigned muffler/spark arrestor. Transforming the dry-sump motor from a 500 to a 600 required surprisingly few changes. Honda's engineers bored the crankcases to accommodate a 3mm-larger bore, while a new crank yielded 5mm more stroke for dimensions of 97.0 x 80mm and an actual displacement of 591cc. While the 600 obviously didn't need as much compression to gain extra torque (permitting it to run on lower-octane fuel found in out-of-the-way places throughout Baja), the new bike's larger, redesigned valves opened in tapered inlet ports to add mid-range punch.
