Honda XR650 for desert racing? Any suggestions?
Hi people,

Anybody got any advice, stories or suggestions with regards to racing Honda's XR650 in long distance Rally events? High speeds, heaps of sand dunes etc.

Please email to coaker@globalnet.co.uk

Thx,
ANDREW

Hi Andrew,

The XR650 has consistently won the Baja Rally in California for all its production years that it entered the race. That says a lot right there, because the competition is fierce. There are mods you can do to go faster, lighter and brighter, but the stock bike is still competitive if you have a skilled rider on top. Here are a few sites worth looking at:
