The Honda XR650L, a dual sport motorcycle, has been around for over 30 years since its introduction in 1993. While it has not undergone many updates during its existence, it has gained a reputation for its durability and straightforward design. The only noticeable change for the 2024 model is a slightly different fuel tank graphic, with the addition of some blue.
The heart of the XR650L is a carbureted air-cooled SOHC four-stroke 644cc single-cylinder engine that produces 34.1 horsepower and 31.4 lb.-ft. of torque. It features a five-speed gearbox and a cable-actuated clutch. Suspension duties are handled by a Showa 43mm conventional fork that can be adjusted for compression damping, and a Showa shock that offers tuning options for spring preload, compression damping, and rebound damping. The motorcycle is held together by a semi-double-cradle steel frame and weighs 346 pounds when the 2.8-gallon fuel tank is filled.
The 2024 Honda XR650L will be available for purchase at dealerships starting next month, with a suggested retail price of $6,999. It continues to offer old-school cool and reliability without any major changes for the new model year.
