Legendary bike and hard to find in this condition. These XR600R's are some of the most popular and most reliable off-road/dual sport machines of all time! It's hard to find anyone who has anything negative to say about them. I bought this motorcycle last year in preparation for a 1200 mile adventure trail ride. 80% of the ride is off-road and 20% on-road. I converted this XR to a dual sport bike with a Tusk brand street legal kit (lights, signals, mirror, horn, license plate mount). Because I wanted to make sure the bike was in perfect condition before the long ride, I had the engine rebuilt by a mechanic I trust at S&S atv in Carlinville. The rebuild consisted of the following: -New piston-New rings-Bored cylinder-Rebuilt carburetor-New cam-New clutch gasket-New Master cylinder and brake pads-Oil change-New oil filter and air filter-New plug-Sandblasted and painted all parts-New Honda decals-Newly upholstered seat-Tusk street legal kit-Supertrapp exhaust with spark arrestor I have a clean/clear (Off-road) title in my name for the motorcycle.If you are like me and plan on riding on road make sure you have a plan to get it registered. I don't know how to have the title changed from off-road to dual sport (making it street legal) and that is the main reason I'm selling the bike. I never did the trial ride because I was unable to get it registered in Illinois and didn't want to ride it without a license plate. I've put less than one hour of time on the engine since the rebuild. I just don't have much room to ride a bike this big and fast.Even though on-road riding may not be possible in my state, it may be in yours. This bike looks and runs great! This is a very unique bike and they are becoming difficult to find in this condition. The XR600R is one of the most popular off-road motorcycles of all time. These bikes are legendary for their ruggedness and reliability. 0:25 second YouTube video of a cold start right here: https://youtu.be/LY-WJ8N4rMU Email me if you have any questions or concerns.

Not to mention nine off-road championships and dozens of other major off-road events. Only one motorcycle makes the cut: Honda's mighty XR®600R. 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 XR600RFirst 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.Like Honda's Baja 1000 race-winning XR500s, the 600 featured recalibrated, longer-travel suspension; a new frame with a stout square-section downtube and aluminum swingarm; and an easy-access, no-tools-required airbox cover. The 160-watt generating system was also a direct result of Baja influence. An innovative electronic enduro meter widened the XR600R's appeal, as it provided accurate tracking of distance, speed and time. Trail riders as well as enduro racers found it useful and, if nothing else, very cool.The remarkable XR600R made headlines throughout its long model life. It won its first Baja 1000 in 1986 by 45 minutes, thanks to riders Chuck Miller and Bruce Ogilvie (both current and longtime Honda employees). In all, the 600 would win the Baja 1000 four times, the Baja 500 three times, the Nevada Rally once, Barstow-to-Vegas once and more desert races than you can count. It was also amazingly versatile: Scott Summers built his reputation by winning nine AMA National championships contested in the woods (four in Hare Scrambles and five in Grand National Cross Country) on XR600s. Summers also won three gold medals in the International Six Days Enduro-the Olympics of motorcycling-racing against the best enduro racers from every nation on their ground.Through the years, the XR600R was campaigned in motocross and dirt- track races as well, yet throughout its design evolution it never moved far from its original concept. A single 40mm carb replaced the twin mixers, stainless steel headpipes increased durability, an automatic decompression system made starting the bike easy, 43mm CR-style cartridge fork and revalved shock improved suspension response, while an optional Power-Up Kit increased power by 25 percent through a larger piston and a few other changes. The XR600R also received a rear disc brake to complement the front disc it used from the start.Happy bidding...Good Luck! -Zimm
