HONDA XR650L (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda XR650L was a dual-sports motorcycle made by Honda from 1983 until the present (2024). It was built for many years and packed the same specifications as the first model without any significant changes.

In 2007, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Honda XR650L, a dual-sports motorcycle, in its fifteenth consecutive production year. The bike was designed for those riders for whom motorcycles don’t stop where the pavement ends.

For suspension, the motorcycle packed a 43 mm adjustable cartridge-type fork with 295 mm of travel on the front and a Pro-Link swingarm with an adjustable shock on the rear with 280 mm of travel.

Braking-wise, the motorcycle packed a single 240 mm brake disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front and a 240 mm brake rotor on the rear wheel tied to a single-piston caliper, offering optimum braking performance.

In the performance department, the 2007 Honda XR650L had installed a 644cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine at its core, delivering an output power of 41 hp with a maximum strength at 6,000 rpm and 52 Nm (38 lb-ft) torque at 4,000 rpm.

Visually, the motorcycle was characterized by standard fittings, like wire-spoke wheels shod with off-road tires, an engine plate, a high-mounted exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the right-hand side, a single seat with a toolbox, a high-mounted front fender, and a small square headlight integrated into a small front cowl.
