XR650L – AdventureBikeTroop

Riding a Honda XR650L on the Freeway (Fuel Consumption Test)

The Honda XR650L is unique in that it is too heavy to be a dirt bike, but too dirt oriented to be an adventure bike. That doesn't mean it is not a great all rounder. The question is, how does it...

Hey! I am Francois and I’ve loved anything with wheels since I can remember. When I was 25 a friend and I took our old XT500's on a short trip and I fell in love with adventure bike riding.

Shortly after getting married my wife and I rode from Cape to Cairo on 200 cc Chinese road bikes. It took us 90 days to cover the 15 500 km.

From time to time I write motorcycle reviews for sports magazines and the local newspapers and attend the odd bike launch when I have to opportunity.
