After 40 years of marriage, her leaving was the best gift she ever gave me.
Now, almost 2 years later, it's crazy just how true that statement is along with how hard married women work to get their single friends tethered to some poor schmuck in order to propagate their misery. Just sayin'

Last fall, I met a crew at Big Bend for a weekend of trail riding. I had just purchased a new 500 EXC-F. When I arrived, there were many XR650Rs and XR600Rs in the group and several old guys ... older than me and I'm 62 ... riding them.

I couldn't keep up with their dust cloud. I was schooled for certain.

If I could only have 1 bike to do it all it would be the KTM 500. You can ride single track, do an enduro race an MX race and take it on a long Adv Ride. It does it all.
Still KTM's most popular bike.

If it could only do 2-up riding then I'd only own one bike! :rider:

What a find! Congrats.
Nothing like the sound of an XR650R winding out to 90 mph. Crossed from Guadalajara to San Antonio Texas 6 times on mine with DS tires. 31 kicks 1000 miles one way.
One of my favorite memories of my XR650R was when the Mexican highway patrol (caminos federales) pulled me over in San Luis Potosi when I was flying full throttle. He said to me, "Don't worry I do not want a bribe, I only stop you to see your moto. I have a CRF450R but always dream of the XR650R." I told him take it and he rode it. I will never forget the smile on his face.
Despite many Baja victories the XR650R was never sold in Mexico.
I sold mine here on TWTEX years ago but would buy it back in a heartbeat if I remember who I sold it to. 275253
 
congrats on the find!

Those bikes are OK If have a healthy right leg. I enjoyed mine for about three years. Dual sported It -gearing was always an issue. Rode it in the trails - heavy and ran hot. Road on the dunes a few times - did ok. The front forks on the bike or probably some of the best I have ever ridden.
