Overview
The Honda XR 650L is a dual-sport motorcycle in the XR family, produced from 2002 through 2026. The 2026 model uses a 644 cm³, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine producing 40 hp (30 kW), with a wet weight of 156.9 kg.
Its 940 mm seat and 330 mm ground clearance suit a tall riding position, though the seat can make putting both feet down difficult for shorter riders. The 156.9 kg wet weight is the figure to consider when maneuvering it at a stop; the 10.60-liter tank gives a calculated range of about 236 km. The 43 mm air-adjustable Showa fork has compression adjustment, while the rear Pro-Link shock adds spring-preload and compression- and rebound-damping adjustment for tuning the suspension.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Adjustable suspension
The fork and rear shock offer damping adjustments, and the rear shock also has spring-preload adjustment to tune the setup for rider and load.
Ground clearance and travel
The 330 mm ground clearance and 295 mm front and 279 mm rear wheel travel provide room to handle uneven terrain.
Useful full-tank range
A calculated range of about 236 km from the 10.60-liter tank allows for substantial distance between fuel stops.
Things to consider
Tall seat
At 940 mm, the seat can make stopping and putting both feet down challenging for shorter riders.
Limited fuel capacity
The 10.60-liter tank and calculated range of about 236 km mean fuel stops can come up sooner on longer rides.
Chain final drive
The chain needs periodic cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
