Everyone seems to have them... Solid, Pecker, Lewis, Stiles, Mad dog... I guess its time I join them.

Going to pick this up on Friday... 2001 XR650R.... It seems the weapon of choice.

Image

I was goig to go cheap, and get the "L" version. Air cooled also looked appealing, I have a tendancy to poke holes in my radiators from time to time. Solid said if I got the "L", I couldnt ride with him due to the dork factor... It does look odd, like the fuel tank was a total afterthought.

I'm supposed to pick it up Friday, so anyone looking to go Dual-Sporting, post up a ride, I already have my first one planned out!!!

:twisted:

F-Ya!!!

Those 650's are monsters.
You'll probably like it if you're taller.
I'm 6' and it's just too much for me, too tall too heavy.
btw-how much was it?

Congrats Bob!

I've been debating on the same thing for a while now. Would make it much easier to trail ride in the people's republic of California! Just no $$ for it yet.

My ride is almost finished.

A $159.00 2002 xr650r frame. $212.00 shipped from Navada with a bill of sale

$189.00 dual sport lighting kit from Cycle works USA

and a bunch of time swapping stuff over.

Next down to the CHP for a vin verification than off to the DMV for my plates.

Fingers crossed and I'm on the road.

A friend of mine is setting up a ride Tues/wed after Christmas. Were going to meet somewhere around Interstate 40 and the 15 ride to the Avi resort and casino near Laughlin Nv.

I hear the rooms are $20.00 a night.

We will stay the night and return to our departure site the next day. We have one chase van with my 26' trailer just in case you whimp out.

Or your like Brit and have a habit of shedding parts.

Anyone interested call boB.

02 thats what mine is . I thought that you couldent get a plate for those anymore, infact I got mine plated just before they changed that law back a few years ago.

BWB63 is the 650R Master when it come to just about anything.
I think you all have met Bruce at our outings in the past .

Just trying to get it done without buying another bike.

I'll admit I'm a slow old fart in the woods, TY250.
This is about as fast as I want to go around trees.
