XR600R is in a class all on its own. I rode my 1985 XR600R 3 hours on highway, raced a 2 hour long harescramble in B class, got 7th out of 20 riders, and then rode the bike home. That was in 2017. Im even faster this year. Got the bike WAY more modded and dialed in. Got a gopro too. Cant wait for its first race of the seaso, which will be next moth
Different Frequencies Ill be uploading it for sure man!! Its cool racing these against new bikes. Everybody laughs you off... and then they always have some excuse after the race
@@BrandonBigB956 D16 mostly. I only got to do 1 race this year :( Decided to build a house and had a lot of rain. I hate racing the XR in mud because I tip over a lot. And whenever it was dry there were no races within any reasonable distance from me that i had time to go to. And the race I did, i tried it on shinko 244 dualsport tires, which sucked ass in the mud. Other than the mud I was running a good pace. Mid pack.
Hail to the King! I'm lucky enough to own many different bikes at once, from 2T MX bikes to current 4T and everything in between. At the end of a workday or a weekend the bike I swing my leg over the most is my 90 XR600R (flatslide carb, race pipe, tickled donk, rear disc conversion) being 6' 6" and 275 pounds no modern bike comes close. Its like coming home. If you're weak or a lightweight you'd hate it! It's a cranky beast on cold mornings, if you get the starting procedure wrong it will not start and the kickback is godawful (broken ankle to prove it!) But the reward is soooo worth it. Does everything a bike should. No fiddling about with valves and services every 10 hours, seat that doesn't disappear up your butt crack, just take it out on a trail and just smash everything and it just takes it again and again. Yeah its heavy and big and the high speed head shake is scary but hey! You dont ride dirtbikes to be safe! Long live the mighty XR! Congrats on the mad skills brother, more vids please!
I have a 1984 Xr 500r and love it .years ago someone stole it . A friend of mine was crossing a river and saw my front fender sticking out from the water ,it was under water for 8 months we pulled it out drained all the fluids and replaced them and it started right up😃
I miss my XR600R..it was a 1994 and a beast.. Sold it last summer to a young guy that was absolutely in love with it. By the way, I made mine street legal (where I live) and rode it out my garage, on local roads, highways, and then single track..Super versatile and simple to work on. I put 300 miles on it in a day no problems and just as comfortable as a DRZ, DR, KTM, or my current BETA..
You realize that you can never get rid of that bike, right? I’ve never seen anyone as comfortable and in sync with their machine as you and your Honda, amazing.
God the XR is legendary. It may not be the 4 strokes of today but they are still an awesome and versatile bike. My first one was an 84 xr350. Now I own a 94 650l and an 08 YZ450F. And as much as I love the yz, there’s still something about hoppin on Bertha and shredding the trails!
After Mods that Summers suggested my 96 was the fastest woods weapon I've ever banged bark on back in the day.It was heavy sure but it carried it's weight really well even it the tight stuff.Great video my friend,sure miss my ol Pig
@@Thebigjaunt Ya buddy we're never "done"tweaking on em are we?You look pretty potent on it man,I enjoyed the Motocross parts o your vid.I remember first time I took mine to the track,everybody ha-ha he's on a XR.By the end o night it was Damn look at that guy on the XR!Enjoyed the vid RIDE on brother!
You handle that thing well man! Cant wait to get mine back from the shop. Fresh top end on my 93 XR600R. Favorite bike I have ever owned. Street legal in California:)
VERY impressive riding for being on a hefty 320lb+ beast! I previously only considered a 600cc 4-stroke as good for dual sport usage until you proved me wrong! I'll stick with lighter 2 strokes for woods, but this gives me greater hopes of the capabilities of my 240lb '77 Suzuki PE250 vintage resto-mod project... vs 210lb KDX's +& KTM's which I'm accustomed to. Thx for sharing!
You are AWESOME on that thing!!! I like your number plate and rear fender too. I had a 97 xr600 and did the same thing too. A cr500 rear fender could be made to look okay. I later bought a mx style fender from Maier plastics that was made specifically for the xr. You need to trim a few inches off the bottom of the front fender so the air can cool the engine better. I know it doesn't look as cool but it makes a big difference. I also installed cr500 upside down forks and had my shock modified back in 1998 before it became common. That bike was so amazing. People would laugh or scoff when I lined up next to them at the races. They would then crap when I blew their doors off. Good times! Well done sir, thanks for this wonderful video.!
Even from the tiny shit speaker on my 3 year old Samsung phone I hear the bike and can actually feel the massive low end torque love those machines awesome vid!
I'm rebuilding one of these bad boys on my UA-cam Channel ATM. Already flipped it on camera and had to do the walk of shame!! These are getting rare and the price of them is increasing all the time.. Cheers Rick MTR
It's been for a looooong time to find such a good XR video. Thanks for sharing. Hope you will show us more of these XR vibes! Thanks a lot Kind regards Thomas
Long live the Xr's, I remember the first 2 I rode , Xr 250, Xr 350, I had at the time a 83 Cr 480, but would rather ride the Xr 350 . Hope 1 day 2 swing a leg over the Xr 600 and watch the dirt fly. Thanks for the cool Xr vid !!!!
This video rivals steven speilbergs greatest works. Iv owned the drz400, dr350, dr650, klr650, plated yz450 and countless mx bikes but i still long for the xr600
Just saying...this dude is a great rider. Put him on almost any bike 250cc or bigger and he could make it the best all around bike. Mad skills! Nice vid!
You seem like a proper lad. Is the clutch on Bowden? We have a phrase "outriding a bike" when your abilities are superior to the bike. Would like to see you on an Italian 300 2 stroke 😊
Had the 1988 back in the day. Last of the rear drum break model. One day after a few beers i rode it along a beach here in New Zealand until a dirty rougue wave washed up in front of me while doing 50kph. Over the handle bars i went, a shoe got washed out to see and i had to push the cunt back 2 kms along soft sand to my truck. I miss that dam bike.
Stoked to see another xr rider/racer still ripping, i use my 1990 xr600 (630) for vmx and trail and i will never sell it. Thinking about posting videos of mine too. Would love to see some more of your gopro footage!!
I really miss my 95 XR6. Always looking for another. Amazing bike, great riding also. Scott summers ride an XR6 to great acclaim. They are fantastic all around motorcycles. Typical Honda.
Most versatile? No for me the KTM 500 exc-f and husqavarna fe501 (nearly the same bike) are the most versatile bikes out there and heeps of fun, no doubt the xr600 is a awesome bike and bomb proof, I'd love one myself but they're very old school which also makes them very reliable and easy to work on
Great f****** video man this thing was hilarious. you were sending it on the motocross track I couldn't tell if you were serious or just having fun great f****** video. Lol
Cool bike and good riding mate 👍 what Camara were you using during those slow motion shots? Did you need special software to make those sloe mo videos too? Looked real good👍
Le moto migliori al mondo per fare tutto,Insieme alle XT. Quando bastavano una manciata di cavalli per divertirsi e fare tutto. Anni 70 e 80 che bel periodo.
Really impressive skills dude but is it really the most versatile? I would imagine a 350 or 450 with everything you did would feel and look better. Still cool either way. Subscribed.
Haha yeah your probably right I guess I was surprised that I could do so much more on it than I thought I’d be able to. Thanks for the sub, ya got one from me too🤘

Nice! yea I have a little quiver of bikes also and the XR is usually my favorite.
Sweet! And finally...something I can do @ 3:18.
I bought a new one in '96. Uncorked and re jetted made a huge difference. Ergonomics are like a much smaller bike. One word, Indestructible.
Xr400 and xr600 best bikes ever. Little heavy but indestructible.
Want one? I got a 1987 runs and drives come pick it up for 1500
Anda dr 350.. old school
Nice, i have one here in Argentina
M773 yeah it is really like plus you can get aftermarket wheels, exhaust, and other things to make it even lighter
I got a XR 75 for christmas in 1974. My favorite bike of all time. Add it to the list...

Richard Nelson wow that's crazy! They're some durable bikes for sure but that's next level haha.
I'm glad u got I bck
Wuuaauu!!8 meses y la pudiste arrancar?increíble!!
XR 600 like an old friend. Always there when you need it.
Long live the xr, can't go wrong with a Honda. My dad loved em, I love em, teaching the kids to love em. Part of the family.
Ben Finlayson that's awesome 👍 when I have kids they will have some xr's for sure.
Gotta teach em right
I own an 01 XR650R, but there's something about the old 600 that is defiantly special. Bikes aside, you're one hell of a rider.

That suspension looks soft...dare I say comfy!
OMG!!!!!!! You rock that XR!!!!
Tiago Vasconcelos thanks 🤘
I absolutely love the view of the kickstand at 2:08. I have an XR650l and these are great thumpers.
Rob Thompson 🤘 eventually I crashed on mine and broke the kickstand off haha
This is the best dirt bike vid ive ever seen, good to see the old xr600 still getting used 💪🏼
Marshall haha thanks man 🤘

No way man......he's coming back on KLR..........it might be awhile......
Jesus went away with YZ. hes not coming back hehe
Well said
Jesus IS Alive! He is not gone!!!
I love my XR600R it's a 1998 model and it still goes great, my only complaint is that I can't ride it anywhere near as good as you ride yours.
Love it! Our interests overlap exactly. Keep on having fun man!
Riding that XR like a boss!!!

Great riding skills on an iconic bike with excellent camera work!! I love the xr600r. I have a '97
El Camino and XR600R great combo. ❤
It’s a shame Honda did away with the XR models. They were the most reliable bikes around. No bullshit.
I agree! Great simple, reliable machines no doubt.
Growing up a friend had an XR600 with a Supertrapp exhaust ...it was the meanest, and throatiest sounding bike I ever heard
Mi hermano tenía una Suzuki DR 350 con Supertrapp y ya la oíamos venir a más de 10 cuadras

This dude is no joke! MX on an XR600? Awesome, and it looked smooth to boot!
huntin haha thanks man 🤘

Riding a 300lb bike like that and making the bike look like it's 100lbs lighter is quite the accomplishment!
there is a reason why the xr600 won the baja and motocross races. great skills man

Most versatile in the hands of a beast, perhaps. DR350 would definitely give it a run for the money everywhere but the highway.
From Italy; you are a good driver, with big Honda!!
Finally some different plastics that look like they belong on the bike, i hate wen people put a back fender from a crosser pointing to the moon
Still one of the best vids on UA-cam
