      I really appreciate that! I been trying to improve my riding technique by watching videos and so, but it's really difficult to me to stay in the correct position and maintain a good posture as I'm 6'6" and I stay really cramped on the bike. But other than that I really enjoy riding and I always have fun and that is already really important haha. Thanks for commenting and watching! Take care!

    Yup why we can't have a modern push rod air cooled 4 stroke with good suspension blows my mind. Imagine a modern xr400 or xr600😱

      Well a pushrod engine will screw it up from the start. That's why OHC took over.

      The 650r is a Legit Weapon! Designed as Water-cooled Improvement over the 600r Purely to Win Baja!! I'd Love to have one, they got Too $$$- Honda Should Bring it Back with Electric Start!!👍😁

      It's in good shape overall, but the engine needs a complete rebuild from top to bottom, it has wear on almost every part you look at 😂.
      I'm surprised it continues running, refuses to die.. 400r is definitely nimbler than 600r, such a beautiful bike!

    How much faster is the xr600 vs an xr400? I have a xr400. I'm guessing it is really noticeable in the taller gears?

    • @rrivero7512
      @rrivero7512  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I haven't had the chance to ride a 400, but I believe it really depends on where you ride them, maybe in the wide open stuff where you only use 4th and 5th the 600 could have an advantage, but in many other scenarios the 400 could probably be faster as I heard is a lot more light and nimble than the 600. I had a 97 250r (pretty similar to the 400 in general except the motor) and despite the clear difference in power, it was so light and easy to ride that you could go wide open the entire trail and not be as near as tired as in the 600, that obviously was a faster bike, but much more heavy and with different ergonomics.

    • @Ready-Set-WORK

      91 xr250 is such a light bike its endless fun. Enough power to get out of any tight spots with ease

    • @stmboat
      @stmboat ปีที่แล้ว

      Neither are faster than the other innately imo at least. The 250 and 400 can be slammed a little more if only just cause the smaller surges and vibes from the power are less tiring. One does tight twisties a lil better the other does open riding a little better. Don't ever sell that 400 thats one of the bikes that I let get away.

    • @michaelxr2460
      @michaelxr2460 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have a 2000 400r with pumper carb and aftermarket muffler. No other mods. And I have an 87 dual carb 600r that is low hour all original. Up to 40 mph or so I don’t think one is faster than the other. Above 40 the 600 just starts walking away. The 400 feels so much more refined though. Feels like driving a sports car compared to a 3/4 ton truck when I ride them back to back.
      Oh I forgot, both have 2003 CRF 450 forks on them.

    • @ramirojotabe700
      @ramirojotabe700 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hay mucha diferencia en torque y estabilidad. La 600 hace mucha diferencia en lugares abiertos a alta velocidad. La 400 saca ventaja en pistas estrechas y bajadas por su menor peso y tamaño general.

    • @rrivero7512
      @rrivero7512  ปีที่แล้ว

      They are the Chinese replica of the rox pivoting risers, they have been holding up fairly well, it's been more than a year since I installed them and so far so good, as you can tell in the videos there are almost no turns so I can ride mostly standing up, but in a more tight trail or maybe a track they are probably not the best option as the rise is considerable and makes it more difficult to turn the bike.

      IMO the new crop are as good in terms of reliability as long as you are a casual rider and do regular maintenance.
      Honda will never bring this back even tho you could put them away wet and they still last forever. I mean hey, if Im wrong I would be ok with that.

    As they say..."no replacement, for displacement"
    I had an '87 and a '97 600R.
    Both with suspension and engine upgrades.
    Loved them both, and ran the piss out of them.
    In '05, I drank the orange kool aid, and have 2 of them.
    Don't regret it...but I truly regret selling my '97 XR.
    KTM's are terrific....but there is just ....."something about XR's".
    I have talked to a lot of guys who have done the same thing, and feel the same way.
    I have ridden newer CRF's, that friends have.....great bikes!
    But.....like I said.
    There is just something XR's.
