Honda’s XL/XR series has been the mount of choice for enduro riders for decades, and the XL600R was a popular option in the 80s – Dirt Rider magazine said it was the best in the dirt of the open class dual purpose bikes (including the Kawasaki KL600 and Yamaha XT600).
The XL600R featured a 589cc, 45 horsepower engine – Cycle World claimed they were able to hit 103 miles per hour with it. The XL shared many components with the off-road oriented XR bike, like the frame, brakes, Pro-Link rear suspension, Showa forks, skid plate, and more.
This example (VIN: JH2PD0302GK302510) has 4,568 miles though it’s unclear if it’s that’s the original mileage as the seller notes that the bike is “super clean in excellent condition having been rebuilt from the ground up.” He also claims that he has the “last new fuel tank from Honda.”
