This is a Honda XR600R with a California license plate (PLATED). Full motorcycle synthetics flush and change every 1000 mi.. Garaged and very clean, stainless steel exhaust header, Mikuni flat slide for improved fuel efficiency and increased performance, oil cooler, Yoshimura exhaust, updated stator to provide small battery charging and digital speedometer. Ultra-light weight lighting including LED turn signals along with the mirror make this beast street legal. Original manual, Excel wheels, alarm lock and battery tender. Do you think that anyone at Honda knew? Do you think that when the first XR600R rolled off the assembly line, anyone had an inkling that it would become the definitive off-road bike, not only of a generation, but for two or three generations? Do you think they knew that they had just built a wildly successful race bike as well as general purpose campground cruiser? No, of course not–no more than anyone at Volkswagon knew what would happen to the Beetle. They hoped as much, but they don’t accept advanced reservations in the motorized hall of fame. The Honda XR600R is almost the definition of an off-road bike; the machine most likely to have its silhouette on a trail sign. That part isn’t surprising, but the bike’s racing resume is. Honda brass always liked the idea of racing four-strokes, but bowed to public demand and developed a two-stroke line for motocross. Off-road it was a different story. The company supported a four-stroke-based effort in Baja, going back to the Al Baker and Bill Bell era of the ’70s. The first real Honda in-house off-road team was in 1983, and that lead to a long string of desert success. Then completely out of left field, the XR600R attained legend status as a great woods in the hands of Scott Summers. No one saw that coming.
