Turning 30
T

for 2023. However, the
2023 model will be avail
-
able in all white, rather
than its traditional red.
The XR650L was first
released in 1992 as a
1993 model and has changed
very little ever since. It's pow
-
ered by an air-cooled 644cc
dry-sump SOHC four-valve
RFVC engine, and suspen-
sion is handled by a 43mm
air-adjustable Showa car-
tridge fully adjustable fork and
single fully adjustable shock
with wheel travel over 11 inches
front and rear. Seat height is 37
inches and claimed curb weight
is 346 pounds. MSRP is $6999. It
sold for $4349 in 1993.
