2026 Honda XR 650L

Go farther. Discover more.

Follow your heart wherever it leads with the XR650L. Its tough build, big-bore engine, and 21-inch front tire give you the confidence to conquer just about any terrain. A true Honda classic, this dual-sport legend doesn’t just get you there – it takes you on an unforgettable adventure every time you ride.

Four-stroke engine

The 644cc big-bore, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine offers excellent fuel efficiency and a wide powerband while requiring minimal maintenance.

18-inch rear wheel

The 18-inch rear wheel provides improved handling and various tire options for on- or off-road use, while its tall sidewall means added protection against flats.

21-inch front wheel

A 21-inch front wheel is in place primarily to improve off-road capability as a wide range of tire options are available that size.

Long-travel front suspension

The 43mm Showa® long-travel cartridge front fork is designed and developed with knowledge from countless Baja wins. It offers compression-damping adjustability, allowing you to fine-tune it for varying conditions on- and off-road.

Pro-Link® rear suspension

Our Pro-Link® rear suspension is designed to offer a comfortable yet controlled ride. It features a soft initial rate to absorb small bumps and progressively stiffer rates to prevent bottoming and maintain rear-wheel stability over rough surfaces.

Steel frame

The steel frame's backbone also serves as the engine's oil tank, saving weight and space, and is designed to withstand the rigors of off-road riding.

Disc brakes

Front and rear disc brakes have drilled rotors, reducing rotating mass for better agility, stopping power, and wet-weather performance.

Sealed battery

The sealed battery provides ample cranking power for the electric starter and is well-protected from the rigors and vibrations of off-road use, eliminating any maintenance issues.

Dry-sump lubrication

The oil is stored in the frame, which acts like a giant oil cooler. This enables a compact, dry-sump engine design that improves ground clearance and damage resistance.

Blacked-out style

To achieve a sleeker, more modern appearance, we gave the bike black rims front and rear, as well as black fork boots, seat, and tool bag.

Factory handguards

The handguards are designed to be off-road ready right out of the box and help protect against rocks, branches, brush, and more.

Quick-release fasteners

The quick-release fasteners on the left side cover make accessing the air filter, battery, and fuse box a snap – literally.

Fully street legal

Equipped with turn signals, a license plate light, mirrors, a speedometer, and all necessary components for street legality, this bike puts the 'dual' in dual sport.

Passenger ready

With its passenger grab strap, folding passenger pegs, and long MX-style seat, the bike offers ample space and comfort for carrying a passenger.

Electric starter

Adventure is just the push of a button away – the electric starter eliminates any off-road restarting drama or troubles getting going on cold mornings.
