It’s not mine. I’m ok with my 2008.How's it look in your Garage ?
So not a heckuva lotta XRL riders here it seems?
720, good lord! Big fin head I imagine.Still have my 05, and a 93 with the CW 720 motor. Just haven't had much interest since getting older and getting the GS. Niece's son probably will get a windfall.
It is kind of quiet. I'll start a conversation. I'm planning an all dirt road ride (or as much dirt as I can find) from KC to Branson this weekend, weather permitting. It'll be a lot of straight roads close to home, but should get a little more interesting around Lake of the Ozarks and Chadwick. My son lives in Springfield, so I'll spend the night there and then find a different route home on Sunday.
I did something similar last summer when I rode out to western Kansas (WaKeeney) where I grew up. The ride out was great, but it rained hard most of the way home. I had to stay on paved roads on the return leg. A couple of shots from that ride below. The first one actually showed up as a road on Google Maps.
Love the XR650L , my mates got one had it years. I would have one myself But despite having two XL500s over a 25 year period and wanting to stay brand loyal, after riding one even at 6 foot and longish legs it just seemed a bit too tall for my tastes. A Two year work comute bike srx 600 turned my head from honda and i bought my curent xt600E 1997 in the 2000s and i still have it and always will.
I Have seen my mate struggle with the tallnes on many occasions and i even started a thread more or less about this very seat height subject a year or so ago.
not really sure why the 650L seems so tall it looks not a lot diferent just looking at it but on it its not for me , a big shame because i like the bike generaly.
