Really appreciate all the pos feedback guys! Will be working on a new video in coming weeks. Stoked to be able to share the thump with fellow xr lovers worldwide 🤙🤙
Pretty Hectic Riding Brother! The Old XR's are @ Home in the Bush!! Great to see Someone riding the bike to its Full Potential!! I don't think too many KTM Riders would be going around you in an Enduro or Pony Express! -Cheers 👍🍺
This riding was just great. Thankyou. That distinctive sound of an XR is just too good. God dam I miss mine, they cost a small fortune to buy now. Wish I never let it go
Correct, in Europe too. But that's a lot for a decades old dirt bike. So there has to be something about it! Any same age European enduro bike costs you half that or less. I sure do like my 2001 road legal XR400R. Regards from The Netherlands @@corneliusthecrowtamer1937
I just picked up a 98 xr 400r- and I love this vid, and how lucky to have such a killer course to ride! I cant wait to get out! Keep these vids coming dude!
Great bike. I love the throaty exhaust. I know I'm in the minority in the dirt bike world, I would love Honda to put their resources into a real air-cooled aluminum-framed great suspension lightweight simple dirt bike.
AWESOME VIDEO!!!! long live all of the old XR’s! You, sir can ride!!!! I’d love to see someone who discounts the old four strokes stay with you , let alone do it with such finesse. Fine job , my friend! Ride on, ride red!!
Great video. The 98 is my favorite year. Long live the king of the mountains. Even today, these are very competitive bikes, especially with a few tweaks.
I miss my XR400. Just a fun bike all the way around. They should have updated it with an electric start and kept making them. They should have also made a street legal version in the US too.
All you have to do to make it an E-start is swap the bottom end for a 400ex lower end, and remove air filter from air box to store the battery. But then again if you want e-start, maybe you should consider an atv. If you cant kick the pig over, then it’s definitely not the bike for you. Jus sayin….
@@mxcook134 K&N “sock” filter gets thrown on pumper carb, but then again if you know how to properly jet the “Pig” for elevation, you can also throw it on the stock carb. I can go more in-depth if you’d like? 🏁
Sounds mint as mate, great vid.! 👌 I picked up a 2002 1 owner bike with 5940klms a few weeks ago, I had one 10 yrs ago and loved it then and have totally enjoyed throwing a leg over this one again, ride hard mate 👊🇦🇺
Just picked up a 98 XR400....its my first foray into dirt bikes (coming from a Harley fat bob and 72 CB750) and super excited to learn how to ride on dirt and to get the most out of the bike. Great riding!
How many miles and how much? Hope it's doing you good. I'm currently on a '15 yz250, but I don't race and I'm on a race bike... Needing something more all round and most likely plated to get some more seat time. Considering xr400r, drz400, and xr650l.
excellent always wanted one of these bikes. have owned 3 400ex over the years but havent gotten the bike yet. knowing how capable a trx400ex is on the trails..the xr just has to be the king
Bought mine new late 98 still got it, don't ride it much now ,got a dr650 for the same reason they are simple and reliable. the best part about an XR 400 is passing KTM riders, they hate it.
that was some fucken amazing riding. say what you will, but no 2 stroke will ever match the deep roar that thing belts out. I'm currently working on my 1979 Honda XL-500s that I've just installed a 97' XR-400R front end on. great video!
Just got a 99 2 weeks ago for 500 waiting on a throttle cable and it should ride ive started it. had it together last night kicked over for a few second then died so im thinking the carb needs tuned and cables need replaced found a airbox and skid pl8 for 70 bucks almost there
Got the first ride in today she rips. Upon tear down was missing pilot jet ordered a tuning kit off amazon. Had the throttle cables replicated at a local shop after a swing and a miss online. For only 650 in so far not a bad bike got to get the plastics kit and maybe do a full teardown and wreanch rabbit now that i have a runner. Shes leaking oil out the stator wire if anyones seen and dealt with this curious to what you found
I always rode 2 stroke mx bikes, still do. The only 4 stroke bike back in the day I had any respect for were the XR's. I have a 400 EX quad basically the same XR 400 engine in it but electric start. I wonder if my 400 EX engine would fit in an XR 400 frame.

Waiting for that next XR400 video 😃

98 400r here and love it. People dont know how good the bike is even 26 years later.
if you know, you know 🤫
Best bike on the planet
U mean second best. Xr600r is this bike but for big boys lol.
Maybe 4th
I’d say if your a 4 stroke guy xr400 or the 250 is the best woods bike ever made but if your a 2 stroke guy you just can’t beat the kdx200 or the 220
@@justinlloyd9342 I ride a yz125 in the woods
@@justinlloyd9342 I've got both an xr600 and kdx200. The only two bikes I'll ever need
I love my Honda XR400R. Greatest bike ever built for the woods.
I can’t count how many miles I’ve put on my 99. Not just a woods bike, it’s taken me across some of the best stretches of desert in Arizona.
Quality riding quality filming and quality setting... also quality sounds.. right on!!
This riding was just great. Thankyou. That distinctive sound of an XR is just too good. God dam I miss mine, they cost a small fortune to buy now. Wish I never let it go
??? They're only $2500-4500, it's not that bad
Correct, in Europe too.
But that's a lot for a decades old dirt bike.
So there has to be something about it!
Any same age European enduro bike costs you half that or less.
I sure do like my 2001 road legal XR400R.

The best XR out of the whole lineup, in my opinion.
Have a 97 myself. Plated it, slapped a 6 gallon tank on it and get many smiles per gallon! Parts are so amazingly cheap as well.
That echo off in the woods. Memories! Thanks for the video!!

Best fast-paced woods bike ever.
Even my mighty KTM 500 stands no chance against you in those trees.
one of the best. I always had a better piece of mind on my XR ,not afraid to go anywhere . I miss those long trail rides.
King of the bush...phenomenal riding, thanks for sharing.
Well kept xr400 . I always wanted the 250 like this one back in the day
Thank You so much for this video! It's really well edited and features some ballsy riding...I really love the sound of the XR400 - What a bike
I had one and enjoyed it. However, if you dropped it was almost impossible to start. I was blown away yours started so easy!
I miss my XR400. Just a fun bike all the way around. They should have updated it with an electric start and kept making them. They should have also made a street legal version in the US too.
The electric start XR400s were mainly kept in Asia and Russia. Unfortunately were not released in the West :(
An XR400L would have been awesome.

Just sold my 98 that I bought brand new. Thing was a blast and totally bulletproof! Wish they still made them simple like this
Nice riding man you are killing it thru there

That is a very good dirt bike, I still got my HONDA XR400R and had it rebuilt with a bigger gas ⛽️ Tank.
Now to present the championship belt for the all time greatest 400cc dirt bike ever made! AND STILL!!! Honda XR400
Gotta love a great rider, well set up XR400 and trails most dream about. Keep the vids rollin
Great riding, nice forest and nice xr400
This thing sounds amazing.
Best XR vid on the tubes for sure. Thanks for posting
What a nice place to rip it up. Nice video.
That XR is so original - great to see and hear. Looks very similar to mine, which I have kept original.
Make more videos please!
A few months ago I bought a motorcycle, and it was precisely a 2002 xr400. I had never ridden one, it's great
You have to love an XR, classic thumpers.
Love the RAW sound. I ride a 2003. Great bike. You have the start down procedure to a 'T'
Damn I miss my xR4🥲
Greetings from Singapore
Looks like an awesome spot to rip!
Great video! Loved watching and hearing that XR rip around the woods.
cheers!
Good stuff! Love my xr400 1998. Keep on riding !🤟
Man great riding and great filming too totally awesome
Bought mine new late 98 still got it, don't ride it much now ,got a dr650 for the same reason they are simple and reliable. the best part about an XR 400 is passing KTM riders, they hate it.
Really nice riding. Always ahead of the bike.
I think I've found my next bike! Thanks, man! Nice vid!
Absolutely love it. Aaaand... still has the leather tool pouch on the tail 👌
Loved my 1996 XR-400 … only thing I wish it had was also an electric start. It was a bear trying to get it started after dropping it :-(
That’s a mean ass bike! Nice riding! 🤘🔥
Back when Honda built trail bikes not Mx bikes slightly modified for the trails or trail bikes best suited for novice riders (crf250f)

shredding a 1992 XR250L, but always looking for a 400R street legal!! Nice ride dude
This terrain looks fantastic too
Pero qué cosa hermosa !!! Por dios !! Conos suena !! Es música y ni hablar el piloto te vas al carajooo groso malllllllllll
🎉
I must’ve watched this video ten times already!
hon mention goes to the wheel pop and the paperbark puddle bit
Wow a very clean bike for the aged great video.. it actually encouraged me to buy one brought one a couple days ago 🤙
cheers brother, enjoy!

Good hands for a nice bike.

Fantastic! Well ridden!
When I am burried in work and dont have time to ride my 400, I come here for a dose of some woods and that distinctive bark
Best sounding 4 stroke in the world
Awesome riding mate, also in SE QLD myself. Thinking of selling my husaberg for a xr400
I use to own a 2013 husaberg 450 myself. The old xr's can definitely hold their own!

You are great biker 👏👏👍 riding with big bike looks like very easy 👏👏🏁
Thanks ✌️
Hey old bloke moto great vid and you can ride too damn! What muffler is that I reckon really bring out the thump in thumper
Honda should have never quit making those bikes. Just keep them the same every yr until the sun dies.
Nice exhaust sound!
Best bike ever to crawl this earth!
XRs for life!
That is fun to watch you are fast
1:34 wow nice skills. 👍👍👍👍
Man! Amazing riding!!!
