No music, just braap, amazing rider, dream area, and a beast bike, what else ...
100% I always say the fayg music added over the gorgeous sound of a thumper is like asking why whales beach themselves. Pitiful and nobody knows why they do it.
I also think music ruins it, the music of the motorcycle is good enough for me
Yep, that pretty well sums up the greatness of this video.
What else ? Sum pizza
I still have my 1985 XR 600R . Bought it new May 1985, it's birthday is coming up in a few weeks 35 years old : )
I wish you continued joy. 👌
I wonder how many rear tyres you've gone through in 35 yrs?
Ya must love that bike a lot
Dale Robertson best bike I ever owned
Still be going in another 35 years . Wheelie beast😎👌🇦🇺
Well done mate the xrs were always out of my price range always like the look of them had too stick to kl250 and dt 175mx and kx250 s well done for keeping your s going mate
And it never went over 1000 rpm the whole time 😂. Those things are tractors!
you're absolutely right !!! they never stop
Tractor was the word I had in mind while watching this. Slow and clunky through the woods. Want a street bike? 600 is great. But not for woods riding
I have an MT-03 essentially a naked bike with the yamaha 660 tractor engine inside- I love it
Im 16 at 5'7 and I love my beast there awesome
Years ago I had a 1986 Honda XR600R. It was bored out, had an aftermarket piston with more compression, was rejetted and had a super trap exhaust, it was extremely fast! Back then I still lived in my hometown of Tucson Arizona, that bike was perfectly suited for the desert! Great video, thanks for sharing!
It's a really upstanding motorbike from Japan, I had my XR only for 5 years now, but I dont plan to sell it. 👌 Thank you very much for a great comment! 😊
@@topridefilms6359 Definitely an upstanding motorbike to say the least! I had my XR600R for about four years before I got paralyzed and it got ridden hard! 85-100 MPH through the desert was a regular ride! Honestly, I'm surprised it was the 200 X ATC that I got paralyzed on. LOL! You're welcome, thank you very much for a great video!
@@krisjato I saw your videos, you are wery strong man, you were right to have this powerfull bike! 🤘 Wish you a lot od Joy in you life Kris 👍🏁.
@@topridefilms6359 Thank you very much! It's been a rough almost 20 years but we can't let things bring us down, positivity overcomes so much! And I've learned that no matter how bad you think you've got it there is ALWAYS someone who is worse off so I'm thankful for the things that I do have and can do! I wish you the best and a lot of joy in your life as well! Thanks again!
@@krisjato kris yr a legend 👏👏sorry to hear about your injury,,,,somehow that doesn't seem respectful enough. You have a great positive attitude thank you for sharing that bud respect and regards pete❤🤙🇬🇧
This gives me goosebumps.
Tears and memory in my eyes back in the 90s. Mine had the exact sound with DB killer out... Just thrilling.
Never found any sound again on any other 1 cylinder matching this low rpm puff puff. I LOVE IT... THUMBS UP
XT500 with cut down pipe or CCM 580 👍🏻👍🏻
@@Eatcrow TT600’s too, torque monsters
If you’re not having fun on a XR, it’s your own damn fault! 🏁
Iam Not having fun riding this bike beacause IT wont star after the Motor is hot
@@reidloss7402 That’s alright, she just doesn’t like you. It happens. 💔
I have 1987 Honda XL 600 LM and I enjoy it every day. I am glad to see other do too.
I have a 1990 XR600, enlarged engine to 630 cc heavily ported head, extreme cam, removed choke and smooth bored carby, geared it to 140 kph at 8000 rpm, with just over 70 hp it is deadly.
Tuned XR ! 👍👍
Best dirt bike video ive seen this year! nice job, rock on
I'am grateful for this comment. Thank you XR Man. 🤘
Only purest can appreciate the absolute tank-like ability of an XR. Had one years ago as a youngster, went 2 stroke, then 4 stroke and a couple years ago came back to my roots...good ole XR. Thing are fricken mules and take a beating better than any other bike I’ve owned. You can put stuff that suggest it’s gas in em, run “a” fluid for oil and they just keep going.
True 👌.
Just wanted to add for those of you that have never been on this bike....it is a heavy, heavy bike..this dude can ride!!
Thank you Bruce! 🤙
I had several dirt bikes (XR250, DR350, KDX250) but nothing compared to the XR600. what a beast. Watching this vid, brings so many memories. brings tears to my eyes
I have a 95 one. Never misses a beat. They don't make them like that anymore. In 1999 during the ISDE there was a rider team USA that was struggling carrying that beast up hill on a narrow single track, he had broken the kick-start and ther was no way in hell he could start the thing. Had to give the man a push up there. Once gravity turn to his favour you could hear him ride the heck out of that thing. Not sure if he hadn't stole it, sure sounded like he had ;)
Ahh man, I really miss my XR600....... I have owned 2 trough the years, one -87 model and one -91, and both ended up stolen. Now after watching this I want to buy one again. But the price for a used XR600R is ridiculous.
Sad story man 😐 XR is great bike i recomend buy one and lock it. 😁🤘
Pasan los años y sigue siendo la mejor enduro de la historia
NOpe ! suzuki DR 600 NO se le queda atràs ni un pelo ! ! !
I agree. 👍🏻
Those bikes will never die they were built like a tank back then
XR’s ROCKED!
I can appreciate how u show your f ups. Im deff not a perfect rider and have been riding for 21 years. Im subscribing!!! Awesome video!!!
I bought a XL 600 RM last month, it's my first bike ever - but boy, it's a lot of fun!
super reliable, easy for a beginner but packs a mean punch, can virtualy go anywhere, and the sound...I'm in love!
Ride it ! 🤘🤘
I loved my 1986 XR 600R I ported and polished it and put a hotter cam in with Supertrapp exhaust and it was so awesome. I miss it.
Loved my XR 600 and then one day I didn’t check the engine oil-it seized and then I cried pushing it all the way home.
Did the same thing with my XR 80 but I was able to save it and it still runs today!😁
I watched a 16 year old climb the front mountain at Carnegie hills in Cali on a xr 600. Unreal bikes, miss my xr 200.
I missed Riding And I like riding on Trails.
The 200 was too underpowered the 250 was a much better bike
@@brandenbaker5559 the 250 is Definitely better than a 200, The XR600 Can Smoke an XR250.
branden baker maybe for somebody that is big but I was only 130 pounds so it was good for me then.
Carnegie Hill's rocks!!!
It's hard to tell, but the XR is in 4th gear for every scene. The XR600R is the honey badger of dirt bikes. It does not give a sh*t what gear you are in, it just goes.
You know it’ll never break down unless you punch a hole in the sump and lose all your oil. No fragile radiators, no hoses to puncture or pop off, no complicated efi shit. Even with all the cooling fins caked with mud she’ll just tractor on, even though it’s the hottest side of the cylinder that gets blocked with mud. Love the old Hondas
Had an 83 500 and an 87 600. Put lots of fun miles on both bikes. Never had any trouble with either of them, super reliable and really fun.
I use to race a 1986 XR600 in enduro races, it was heavy but on straight aways no one could touch me lol
I struggled with 250 s a 600 I bet you had too have a lie down for a week after that fair play to you mate
It’s all about letting the bike work under you, don’t fight the weight, use it to your advantage.
Deborah chesser so true, she might be a big girl,but the ride is awesome if you let her do a little of the ...ahem... work!🤣🤣 still talking XRs here,of course...
Todd Jabobs Awesome I remember Watching Kaplan America the XR600 Can Smoke Anybody in this class and it's a Gnarly Bike.
They were and still are a fantastic bike awesome fun.
Great job 👍 no music
Actually! The music it's the engine sound!!!!! Hehehehe
Can’t seem to find an off road bike I enjoy riding as much as the XR600. Love the lazy low down torque. Had mine for 25 years and still love it.
Grouse vid bloke👍🏼
I've seen one for sale recently that I was thinking of buying. A friend had one back in the mid-80s and I liked it.
These bikes no longer fall in price but rise. I believe that the bike would do much joy. 🙂
I love that pert launch out of the creek. Fresh and snappy. A solid apex predator in it's natural habitat.
I owned two of them and I finally got a CR 250 and I never looked back at another four-stroke bike. The 600's are great on dirt roads and fire roads but they're a pain in the ass in tight woods.
it's about the rider not the bike. CR also is lighter and has mx tuned suspension. These are about challenging yourself and pushing the limits of what a 4 stroke can do. Anyone can be good on a CR.
@@jvogler_art4708 If anyone can be good in the tight woods on a CR then suppose I'm immortal on the KTM 300 XC-W Erzbergrodeo I got last year.
What an awesome soundtrack: Honda in the woods. Seems like nature.
Long climes are about momentum, torque and conversion of power through low gearing.
Thank you for sharing
Good reliable old tool these things I have an 85 which still runs fine its probably one of the more sort after years also
It is m8
Got a 600 DR 1989 but can't ride like that !!! Whaaaaaoooo... beast mode!!! And kickstarting on the river bank !!😱😱😱👏👏👏😀
👍😎🇫🇷🏁
The xr is a beast of a bike I had a xr400 and with a new back tyre and new chain and sprockets it would pull me up near vertical banks and hills I loved it good video I can see u have it tamed
We rode these in the SA Army in Angola...brilliant bush bike
... the bike I always wanted !.. but never could find one back in the day ! ... Ten years ago I saw a neglected 91 XR600 in the corner of a farmer's shed and mentioned if he ever wants to move it on let me know ... Five years later he contacted me and my riding passion was revamped .. it's November 2021 now and I've thrown a fair bit of coin at the old girl but I love it and ride her as a commuter and weekend trail hunter regularly ... without a doubt she certainly was / is the bike I always wanted.
Perfect story, it reads nicely. I wish it continues to make you happy. 😊👍
2:12 & 2:23 - A little "Momentum" is a wonderful thing... Nice footage, Thank you for sharing...
Nice bike. I just started restoring one, it’s a 1986 XR, but with the 650cc engine from the 650L and a 2 barrel carb and dual exhaust. A bit of a frankenstein. It needs a lot of parts but it still has compression after sitting outside for 20 years, which is the life saver.
I ride my 96 XR600r all around the AZ desert and crashing is the best on my beast, every time i do it seems the damn thing gets up on it's own and says c'mon let's go rip some more!
Great video man keep up the good work and keep the rubber side down!!!
The difference between then an now is crazy. That's why 2 strokes ruled back then.
Mito anni 90 complimenti al pilota
I want me a 650! Them things are just full of torque!
I had an XR 500R Sometime in the 80s. Plow yer garden. Pull out stuck jeeps. Climb anything. It was a beast.
Zajebista maszyna, zajebisty film! :D

Tractors get everywhere i have also such a tractor
It’ll be like a trail bike had sex with a diesel, so much torque.
😂 😂 👍
4 stroke forever 🔊🔊😀
Got my 96 plated and almost daily drive it on a 40 min commute 🤙🏾
Alberto Bones I got a 98 plated too and it’s a dream!
I have an XR 400 titled great bikes
I sold it back in May, bought a new naked bike. I miss that xr so much, I want a new dual sport but I cant let go of getting an old xr again 😑

C'est beau comme c'est violent ce 600 XR ! Ça ARRACHE !
Just came across this video wow no way does she ride that XR600 wow she is an awesome rider
I believe it's a guy riding. Different clothes
The nature and the beast.
I enjoyed this yes! Carry spares damn , like that noisey rear brake , tons of torque uncorked the exhaust was great , years ago had the 78 XR-500 I loaded the bike full of White Bro's parts true jeckl&Hyde was ah blast
the best enduro I never had!
Amo esa moto XR600...!!! Saludos desde Argentina...!!!🇦🇷
Un saludo a la Argentina! Gracias 🤙
Glad to own one, those Bikes are nearly indestructible.
when I was 16 I bought an 82 xl500. love those honda big thumper sounds
now I'm 52 and have an xr250!!
My friend had one in the 90s,it was a beast
I have a Honda xr100r from 2002 and It is still completely stock
Great vid, that's XR riding!, such lovely sounding, tractable, well balanced bikes for their size. I cried when mine was stolen.
It is a real pity that your XR was stolen. 😬 Thank you for the comment. 💪🏁
had a husqvarna wr450 2 cycle back in the early 80's . and as you see here a handful of torque is a beautiful thing .
It is 💪💪
My brother had one and I liked riding it but hated starting it. It looks so twitchy and marshmallowy in the video. I remember really liking the smooth power.
Yes, i lern it long time, i remember when her kick me back😬 But if you know, it Is easy and you dont need battery in this bike. 😁👍
Short and sweet no words needed. Perfect vid. Xr600r owner
I appreciate it. Thank you. 🏁✌
Love these old bikes.
I owned a 1988 XR 600 R in 1989! Very good bike! Many thanks for this video - you're a cool driver!
I appreciate it, thank you Floda. ✌️
Now that's a MANLY bike. 600cc air cooled, wire operated clutch, no bullshit.
I ride a Husqvarna 510, which is also pretty rad, but I'd swap it for an XR600 of a good shape
Straight across the green on the 18th hole. Good man.
Xrs are the best trail bikes ever i have a 1985 xr100 got when i was 12 my first bike still looks great needs the head rebuilt
Got a 1989 xr 600 in my garage can't wait to ride it again.
Got a 95 in the barn. Not run it for 4yrs,
Hope she starts.
I've owned 2 of these bought a brand new one in 1995 then an 88' I'm thinking the only diff was 2 into 2 exhaust and rear drum vs disc. Heavy bikes but they never ever let me down!
👍
really good driver its OMG mennn what a monster XR!!!
The Little Red Pig 🐷 so awesome. No music thanks for that the motor is music to my ears 😊
Thank you for your comment ! 💪
King of the 3mph wheelies.
De belles images, bien filmées puis bien montées 👌
Had a 85 xr600, used to do a lot of desert riding in southern California and Mexico. That thing was bulletproof. I would love to ride that bike one more time.
It is not imposible. Great comment, thanks. 🤘
Everyone says its the one bike they should not have sold.Me included.
XR territory right there!
Things are so fun... I am an xr fan also! Such a fun trail bike... I wish I could have another one😭
Wow where your riding just like the enduros I used to be takin to in Wales by a bloke who rode a XR 600 in the mid 80s. remembering that exhaust note love it the guy who took me was a bouncer he was 6ft,6 and about 20 stone so a big bloke I think his bike was raised at the back but the way the bloke in the video gets on it means he must be over 6ft because I remember Russell's bike being bloody massive...just love that brap,brap,deep raspberry note built like a tank...up and down that hill at 2.19 brilliant loved it massive smile...
Hello, great comment! Rider has 6,2ft 😀👍
Great action !! Wow you have fun spots to ride! Those hill climbs ! 😀😀
Great vid i like the XR600 a lot i have a XR400R im rebuilding but want a 600 next
I have experience with both motorcycles and both are great. 🤘
@@topridefilms6359 one of the best xr 600 videos , 400vs 600 is better?
@@topridefilms6359 please, tell us more about the difference in power and handling more in depth
Always loved the look of the XR 600.
Cool video. What a great old beast that won many titles in its day. Australian Safari 10 times from memory.
I've got a 2000 xr650r, baja special with the high output kit dealer installed. I love it.
I ride it a lot. It keeps up to the modern day 450. I live in the rocky mountains of Alberta. I've never thought to myself, this bike needs more power. I have never bogged it down on any hill. Torque! Guys sometimes give me a hard time that it's an enduro bike, but they don't know that the 2000 650R was the baja Honda race bike, undefeated... until of course I destroy them with it... bone stock
Great video. Looks like Pennsylvania where I grew up riding. I have an xr650l all done in 85 colors .
Miss my 83 xr350r hopped it down into a creek like that one time and the cam broke right in half. Super fun bike to ride shoulda held on to it. 🙃
XR.... some of the best Honda ever made
💪💪
nice video and beautiful landscapes. old Honda enduro bikes are unbeatable! with my old honda Xl 1984 I crossed on and off road all over Europe. There have been few small mechanical failures. We have always managed to repair in a short time and we have always returned home safely ... :)
It also tempts me to travel with this motorcycle, great comment. Thanks
@@topridefilms6359 It is not suitable for highways but there are certainly no limits to itineraries and routes.
I have been to Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Estonia and many other countries and it has always brought me home.
On my channel there are some travel films.
thanks for the comment. We have the same passion. best regards from Italy! :)
Your so lucky they look a great bike

I had a 94! Most dependable bike I ever owned! Injured and had to sell! Now Honda no longer makes them! I wish I never sold that bike. Riding again now but missing my XR for sure!!!!!
I keep my fingers crossed. 😉
@@topridefilms6359 I'm searching for one! Hit me back if you have any leads on a good one!!!!!
I bought one of those in 1988. I sold it to buy a DR650 to ride on the road. I sure miss the snappy torque.
Great riding and excellent video bro. I love that bike. Have always wanted a 600, since the 80s, when I was a teen. Have owned a 200, 250, 400, and a 650R. There never seems to be a 600 for sale, when I get the urge to buy a bike lol. I ride the 650 at the moment, but like the 400 better. I would say a 600 would be perfect for me. Awesome area to ride around as well👍
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you to get the XR600 🤞😀
@@topridefilms6359 still haven't found my Eleanor yet, lol. Only have the XR650R left now.
