question: if the 650r has a headlight and a brakelight, can i buy the bike then get the correct forms and immediately get the headlightlight taillight check and finally goto dmv and register it for street and get a plate or do i need to string signals and speedos and other crap on it?

question: if i grab the 650l it automatically comes with a plate for street use? but that thing is like 40 or 50 lbs heavier than the "r"... damn!

question: which yammy is the best candidate? :p

the motard needs to be light right? :p what the heck am i gonna buy? :p

stillart: Not sure what condition your knees are in nowadays, but keep in mind that the XR650R is kick-start ONLY. Ask Rich about how fun it can be ;)

Ok, so I've heard lots of high recommendations for the XR650R's... and even though I hate Hondas :twofinger ya guys think it would do admirably well as A) trail bike B) street motard C) race motard?

Ok, ok, so I want the all in wonder bike :laughing It ain't like I can be competitive anyway (well, unless I lost a shitton of weight...)

That's a promotional pic for the July Fast Dates bike show and SM races at the Queen Mary in Long Beach in mid July. I'll be down there with my camera! Should be a good time.

i like that write up :thumbup

odd thing about the xr650 and maybe i'm just not looking in all the right places is that bikes like the cr's & yz's have untold amounts of aftermarket shit by TAG and all these companies doing sick MX products. get the xr650 and i guess for whatever reason all the trendy companies aren't supporting it like the out and out 2 stroke race bikes *shrug*

guess i gotta dig deeper :nerd

i think my favorite mod is the skate wheel crash bungies! thats sick!!

There's all kinds of stuff available for the XR650R from various exhaust systems like Akrapovic and Arrow, suspension components, graphics, etc. Check out XRs Only, Summers Racing Products, White Bros., Bergos Racing (Europe). The only limiting factor is the size of your bank account or your credit rating!
