Hallo, yes these bikes are it. The 1993 XR600R was my first love. Never came away from it. Some years ago I restored this 1994. At 49 I still cannot feel big cons to my riding - thankful for this.

@@egger2500 cool, i put a HRC 628cc big bore kit in mine , really bumped up the power. So much so i had to install some stiffer clutch springs to the new clutch I'd just put in . And it was fast
The old gal pulls soo fast and effortless as it barrels through the turns at 3600rpm vs 8500 rpm on the newer 4fittys explains why I'm rebuilding my CRF every 2 years. Sheesh. That thing has some torque
@@egger2500 great video,you Chuck the xr600 around like a cr 250 excellent riding skills. I have an xr650r and I'm of the same opinion as you, unfortunately old father time has caught up with me knees, back, neck, all shot. Motocross and enduro riding never helped but 40 years in the building trade was the main reason.your videos are inspiring keep up the good work mate, regards Pete 🤙
Hi Pete. Thanks you like the XR stuff. Hope to be able to go on like this for some years. At 45 I still love to ride. I enjoy the XR600-94 & the little XR250-93. Maybe I will be able to shoot a little XR250 video in the next view weeks ...... kind regards Thomas
Wow really? I'm going to make a video of me actually riding and jumping and not bogging out the gears the whole time. I won't coast over all those hills I'll actually jump them.
Joe doyle, I had the same Chevy truck on your profile min was a step side. Ironically I swapped an xr 500 for the truck I loved that bike they were like hens teeth when i had it in England ist prolink model as i remember. I've got an XR 650R now and I don't like it.
@@hebeb394 I had one one in 2000 and compard to the XR600R it was really bad to handle and ride on our usual tight loops. I think it was made more BAJA than Enduro. On the MXtrack it was not bad. So as it was more my area and stuff we rode that did not fit together. I'm sure it's a great bike. And of course it cannot fit any riders style and likes. I'm glad it fits for you and the best thing is: If we're happy with our bike - world is perfect. Kind regards Thomas - but check my XR650R video on my channel.
its nice to see an old girl like her having a damn good run, keep it up for us old timers that rode real bikes that you had to kick start a single cylinder thumper, not push a button.
I'm 60 and still ride and the XR600 really gives you a work out with all that weight .... you must be pretty darn fit to go with the skills that give the impression it's a much smaller bike! 👌

yeah, if you change the oil under 20 hours it will last forever. I bought this 94 some years ago and we opend the engine - of course we had to change all bearings and hardware - overall it's like new and it feels like ;- )

@@egger2500 hi awesome playlist 👍😊. I used to race Enduro myself for 15 years. Started my career on a 350 and 510 Husky 4 stroke, then Husaberg 350 and 501, which I picked up right at the factory in Rofors Sweden. Then it was two stroke KTM 300, and last to years I rode two stroke Suzuki RMX 250. But had to quit due to some injuries. In 1998 I took a trip from my country Norway over the pond to USA. the last GNCC round before the summer break went off in Manahawkin NJ, so went over to watch the best US offroad riders compete. In that particular event, Mr Summers injuired himself in the very first turn and had to withdraw. I got to talk to him before the start though. Steve Hatch on his factory FMF Suzuki won. Cheers from me🙋♂️🇧🇻
@@bikerman6907 Wow - great to hear stories like this plus, it seems that there are enthusiasts of this sport everywhere to find. I'm on everything on two wheels - started Trials in 1987 when I was 14, headed to Motocross, added Enduro in 1993 (XR600R - 1993) and since than I cannot get off, of it. In circa 2014 I started to restore 1990's bikes and ran into another Norwegan guy Ove from Oslo - meanwhile we're very good friends - also went for another trip to Norway in 2017 and had some beers at his Espegard fireplace ... hehe. If you're interessted in some ride pics you may check my bike picture website @ www.motopark.at/gallery/ kind regards from Austria Thomas
@@egger2500 you been to Norway! Cool!😃 Espegard fireplace, those are popular, you have good memory Sir😉👍Great to hear your riding background👍 Like you, I started riding trials, back in 1988, on a new Beta TR34 125 class, later on, Yamaha TY250 and Fantic 305/307/And watercooled K-Roo model. Have been to both World Championship Rounds i Sweden, in 1990 and 1991. Jordi Tarres was the main man back then. And it was one guy from Austria, who were around top 20 ish I think... named Eric Brandauer, maybe you know him...🤔😃 Yeah 1990's bikes are great😊. Am a car/bike collector myself. One of my vehicles is made in your country, in the town named Graz. 06 Gelandewagen G55 AMG with only 30k on the clock, looks like new. If you are in Norway some time, you can reach out to me. Cheers!🙋♂️😊
Hi Tomas. I'm 47 now, I started at 14 to ride motorcycles. The first 3 years with Trial-Bikes than MX & Enduro. Depending on your current skills I do not know where to start but there is always room to improof. Take it step by step not to hurt yourself. Best thing is to take some riding technic hours from a pro + a well in function bike is so much easier & better to ride. Look at the body position, keep your legs on the pegs and RIDE, RIDE, RIDE. Good luck! ;- ) BTW I still learn and learn and learn. I love it!
You look so relaxed when you ride, and jump. Really a joy to watch. Thank you for your advice. I will keep my feet on the pegs, watch the body position, and take it step by step. I am in no hurry. I think there may be some newbie-courses in MX here around Stockholm/Sweden, I'll look for it this spring. Actually to be honest, I bought my bike just this winter and I don't even have a motorcycle license yet. I have booked lessons for next month, hopefully winter will be over and I'll be able to get some basic training.
@@uncletom1971 starting from Ground up is maybe a good thing, better than correcting bad things. If you search for bike trainings and or loop riding "8" you will see that you can additional control the throttle with the breaks and clutch. By holding the gas in one position and slipping the clutch a little and control the roll with the front and rear brakes ... Good luck, don't give up even when having some bad days. Kind regards From Austria Thomas Egger
This is so epic! Well done! I have to ask though, have you changed anything with your suspension? I find its very soft from stock which i always liked for comfort but im starting to think it hinders on my performance! Also what do you think, xr600 vs xr650r? :)
Hallo. Thx you like it. Back in 93 when I owned my first XR600R, the suspension was nice and hard too - after getting the newer 96 I had 2 huge get-offs due to soft suspension of the newer 96. In this video I ride the 94 which should have similar setting as the 93. In some of my older videos you can check the bottoming by hearing the rear end bumping into the very end. If you know - you will hear it. For this 94 to be honest I did nothing for the suspension - only the carb is different - you can check the rebuild @ www.motopark.at/gallery/project-x/ ..... for the XR650R: I owned a 2000. I sold it after 11 months. I was unhappy. Some 10 years later I got my fathers 2000 to ride - I was still unhappy. The XR650R is more a desert or road bike - I feel. Kind regards Thomas
Hey very impressive build, the bike looks really pleasing!! From your site I just realized it is you that made those older videos of riding the XR, i have watched them since years ago! Thanks for your take on the 650R, i was interested in it for its extra power but cant sacrifice the rugged ability of the 600R (and it has no battery - best for out in the bush!) I also need to ask you if you know anything about the axles, because in 93 honda went the bigger front axle. Well i had a 92 and the axle snapped collapsing the bike and dislocating my shoulder!! This will especially happen when you ride like this :D Is this a common thing? Have you heard of it?
THX you like the build! Have scrolled over the whole website & galleries? Thats my "moto-life" in pictures from the last circa 35 years - there are some old Enduro-XR picture galleries too. Yeah, the XR650R felt not so good - it had so less traction going trough small stuff and little river crossings ..... For the front axle I 'm in luck that I had no problems with collapsing - and never heared similar - even my Honda dealer rode MX Nationals with the XR's in 94 & 95 ......
I have just now, and I love it. The CR's, kawis, jumps.... there some great photos in there, and the rare vintage enduros! That's strange that the axle happened only to me. I would still like to test a 650R just for my interest but I cant wait to get back on a 600, you have made them cool again!
THX you like my stuff, but the honor to bring it back and make it cool goes to my friend OVE from Norway - with his XR600R rebuild I digged deep in my XR history and uploaded the old stuff. I took a while for digitalisation from video8 and hi8 + scanning all those old pics older than 2000 .... but I'm glad I did it. Maybe you have some old or new stuff you could also share. Kind regards Thomas
Hi, thx you like this XR stuff. On my 93 & 96 I run a Dellorto but on this 94 rebuild I use a new Mikuni. You can find the whole rebuild @ my website www.motopark.at/gallery/project-x/ For the Mikuni: I had to turn off the extra injector because it was tooooooo rich. Kind regards from Austria Thomas
No, not really. The 93 & 94 had the best suspension ever. The 96 was soft & weak as hell- I had my troubles. The only thing I've ever done was a circa 1 inch or 2,5 cm spacer for the forks springs to get the OEM stiffer - today I would go for stiffer springs - but as you can see in this video it's a 94 with 100% OEM setting ridden in 2018 - you can check all XR videos @ my channel: th-cam.com/play/PLAMSJUeEdZ-XX1B6ZtxkrY-hjE5Qii8_U.html kind regards Thomas
Couple of times I had a chance to throw my leg over at 94xr 600 at the motocross track and it was actually really easy to ride seat of the pants horsepower I loved it.
My 650L has been retired to full Supermoto because Im in my forties now and not man enough to air a 350 lb bike out like that! (The 600 is a LITTLE lighter, but still...)
Last time I saw a XR600 get that much air time there was no rider on it lol nice job

yeah the XR250R is a fun ride - have a 93 as well ....
Good Job Super!!!
So… that’s heaven.
yes it is ....
Like watching the american GNCC/XR 600 legend Scott Summers!😃👍😎
Hi, thanks you like it. Did you already check my XR playlist @ th-cam.com/play/PLAMSJUeEdZ-XX1B6ZtxkrY-hjE5Qii8_U.html kind regards Thomas
@@egger2500 hi awesome playlist 👍😊. I used to race Enduro myself for 15 years. Started my career on a 350 and 510 Husky 4 stroke, then Husaberg 350 and 501, which I picked up right at the factory in Rofors Sweden. Then it was two stroke KTM 300, and last to years I rode two stroke Suzuki RMX 250. But had to quit due to some injuries. In 1998 I took a trip from my country Norway over the pond to USA. the last GNCC round before the summer break went off in Manahawkin NJ, so went over to watch the best US offroad riders compete. In that particular event, Mr Summers injuired himself in the very first turn and had to withdraw. I got to talk to him before the start though. Steve Hatch on his factory FMF Suzuki won. Cheers from me🙋♂️🇧🇻
@@bikerman6907 Wow - great to hear stories like this plus, it seems that there are enthusiasts of this sport everywhere to find. I'm on everything on two wheels - started Trials in 1987 when I was 14, headed to Motocross, added Enduro in 1993 (XR600R - 1993) and since than I cannot get off, of it. In circa 2014 I started to restore 1990's bikes and ran into another Norwegan guy Ove from Oslo - meanwhile we're very good friends - also went for another trip to Norway in 2017 and had some beers at his Espegard fireplace ... hehe. If you're interessted in some ride pics you may check my bike picture website @ www.motopark.at/gallery/ kind regards from Austria Thomas
@@egger2500 you been to Norway! Cool!😃 Espegard fireplace, those are popular, you have good memory Sir😉👍Great to hear your riding background👍 Like you, I started riding trials, back in 1988, on a new Beta TR34 125 class, later on, Yamaha TY250 and Fantic 305/307/And watercooled K-Roo model. Have been to both World Championship Rounds i Sweden, in 1990 and 1991. Jordi Tarres was the main man back then. And it was one guy from Austria, who were around top 20 ish I think... named Eric Brandauer, maybe you know him...🤔😃 Yeah 1990's bikes are great😊. Am a car/bike collector myself. One of my vehicles is made in your country, in the town named Graz. 06 Gelandewagen G55 AMG with only 30k on the clock, looks like new. If you are in Norway some time, you can reach out to me. Cheers!🙋♂️😊
@@bikerman6907 will do and Ove as well th-cam.com/channels/Lr-EWXSRUB87obxRqqpx0g.html
Fun looking track.
I'm almost 50 now, and i have a XL500s. I want to drive my Honda like that. You have any suggestions for me where to start, please?
Hi Tomas. I'm 47 now, I started at 14 to ride motorcycles. The first 3 years with Trial-Bikes than MX & Enduro. Depending on your current skills I do not know where to start but there is always room to improof. Take it step by step not to hurt yourself. Best thing is to take some riding technic hours from a pro + a well in function bike is so much easier & better to ride. Look at the body position, keep your legs on the pegs and RIDE, RIDE, RIDE. Good luck! ;- ) BTW I still learn and learn and learn. I love it!
You look so relaxed when you ride, and jump. Really a joy to watch.
Thank you for your advice. I will keep my feet on the pegs, watch the body position, and take it step by step. I am in no hurry. I think there may be some newbie-courses in MX here around Stockholm/Sweden, I'll look for it this spring. Actually to be honest, I bought my bike just this winter and I don't even have a motorcycle license yet. I have booked lessons for next month, hopefully winter will be over and I'll be able to get some basic training.
@@uncletom1971 starting from Ground up is maybe a good thing, better than correcting bad things. If you search for bike trainings and or loop riding "8" you will see that you can additional control the throttle with the breaks and clutch. By holding the gas in one position and slipping the clutch a little and control the roll with the front and rear brakes ... Good luck, don't give up even when having some bad days. Kind regards From Austria Thomas Egger
Absolutely. Thanks for your info.
stylish und sehr nice
Danke!!!
Throws the xr around like a toy imagine him on a two stroke. Thumbs up
THX you like it! ... there are some 2 stroke vids on my channel ;- )
自分もXR600Rのエンジンオーバーホールして また乗りたくなったわ・・・
はい、行ってください。それはすべて価値がある。私はXR600に乗るのが大好きです。私は1993年に始めました（私はGoogleと翻訳しました）。
That's unreal! I'm a 250R
عالیه 100
This is so epic! Well done! I have to ask though, have you changed anything with your suspension? I find its very soft from stock which i always liked for comfort but im starting to think it hinders on my performance! Also what do you think, xr600 vs xr650r? :)
Hallo. Thx you like it. Back in 93 when I owned my first XR600R, the suspension was nice and hard too - after getting the newer 96 I had 2 huge get-offs due to soft suspension of the newer 96. In this video I ride the 94 which should have similar setting as the 93. In some of my older videos you can check the bottoming by hearing the rear end bumping into the very end. If you know - you will hear it. For this 94 to be honest I did nothing for the suspension - only the carb is different - you can check the rebuild @ www.motopark.at/gallery/project-x/ ..... for the XR650R: I owned a 2000. I sold it after 11 months. I was unhappy. Some 10 years later I got my fathers 2000 to ride - I was still unhappy. The XR650R is more a desert or road bike - I feel. Kind regards Thomas
Hey very impressive build, the bike looks really pleasing!! From your site I just realized it is you that made those older videos of riding the XR, i have watched them since years ago! Thanks for your take on the 650R, i was interested in it for its extra power but cant sacrifice the rugged ability of the 600R (and it has no battery - best for out in the bush!) I also need to ask you if you know anything about the axles, because in 93 honda went the bigger front axle. Well i had a 92 and the axle snapped collapsing the bike and dislocating my shoulder!! This will especially happen when you ride like this :D Is this a common thing? Have you heard of it?
THX you like the build! Have scrolled over the whole website & galleries? Thats my "moto-life" in pictures from the last circa 35 years - there are some old Enduro-XR picture galleries too. Yeah, the XR650R felt not so good - it had so less traction going trough small stuff and little river crossings ..... For the front axle I 'm in luck that I had no problems with collapsing - and never heared similar - even my Honda dealer rode MX Nationals with the XR's in 94 & 95 ......
I have just now, and I love it. The CR's, kawis, jumps.... there some great photos in there, and the rare vintage enduros! That's strange that the axle happened only to me. I would still like to test a 650R just for my interest but I cant wait to get back on a 600, you have made them cool again!
THX you like my stuff, but the honor to bring it back and make it cool goes to my friend OVE from Norway - with his XR600R rebuild I digged deep in my XR history and uploaded the old stuff. I took a while for digitalisation from video8 and hi8 + scanning all those old pics older than 2000 .... but I'm glad I did it. Maybe you have some old or new stuff you could also share. Kind regards Thomas
Yeah 💪
schöne aufnahmen, in welcher Gegend bist du da unterwegs?
green-hell-paradise ;- )
haha okay, fair enough
wär cool einmal einen XR-Kollegen zu treffen
deine aufnahmen sind ja wirklich stilecht
So wie's aussieht eh nicht weit weg von dir; sofern du in Graz bist - wir fahren heute nach St. Andrä - Kärnten ..... mit der XR. LG Thomas
ja woran sieht man das
bin im moment leider nicht im Lande, aber melde mich gern einmal!
All torque there!!! I have a mint XR 400 that’s street legal!
the video is great... but the riding? godamn.
THX you like it. Did you watch all my XR videos? Can check my playlist @ th-cam.com/play/PLAMSJUeEdZ-XX1B6ZtxkrY-hjE5Qii8_U.html
CEO of whipping a big bike
Honda xr la madre de las enduro
sí, y será mi bicicleta favorita de enduro de la vieja escuela
Yes!!!
what carbie did you use?
Hi, thx you like this XR stuff. On my 93 & 96 I run a Dellorto but on this 94 rebuild I use a new Mikuni. You can find the whole rebuild @ my website www.motopark.at/gallery/project-x/ For the Mikuni: I had to turn off the extra injector because it was tooooooo rich. Kind regards from Austria Thomas
The name of front fender and the light and of what bike
Hallo again. Its a Cycra fender and a XR650R headlight (the old headlight reflector will fit).
yeah top bike ,
Scott summers is that you?
It's me but I'm not Scott Summers ....... hope you like it! Regards Thomas
@@egger2500 I know just joking 😉 great to see the big xr600 rode so well keep it up
@@codenamenoob4973 THX you like it. You may check my playlist for more XR vids. th-cam.com/play/PLAMSJUeEdZ-XX1B6ZtxkrY-hjE5Qii8_U.html
650r front fender?
no, Cycra CRF fender but cutted and shimmed to fit
Good bike..
Thank you!
You've obviously done some suspension work.
No, not really. The 93 & 94 had the best suspension ever. The 96 was soft & weak as hell- I had my troubles. The only thing I've ever done was a circa 1 inch or 2,5 cm spacer for the forks springs to get the OEM stiffer - today I would go for stiffer springs - but as you can see in this video it's a 94 with 100% OEM setting ridden in 2018 - you can check all XR videos @ my channel: th-cam.com/play/PLAMSJUeEdZ-XX1B6ZtxkrY-hjE5Qii8_U.html kind regards Thomas
Pick it up like Scott Summers, then I’ll be really impressed.
Thanks you like it. Hope to get another XR600 video done this year .....
Yep he was great!!!
My love the bro keep doing it
... I will ...
Ripping 🤙
Couple of times I had a chance to throw my leg over at 94xr 600 at the motocross track and it was actually really easy to ride seat of the pants horsepower I loved it.
I still love it. Did you check my old videos as well? Can find @ th-cam.com/video/leGx5Nb9kwo/w-d-xo.html
enjoy - kind regards Thomas
Wow!
My 650L has been retired to full Supermoto because Im in my forties now and not man enough to air a 350 lb bike out like that! (The 600 is a LITTLE lighter, but still...)
Rippin that bike!
