Any Thoughts On Xr650R

[bjorge]

I have a dream of building my own bike: A lightweight, quick one for the ultimate back road trips. The XR650R ticks tve boxes but I also think it may be a handfull maintenance wise.



One showed up in the ads a few days ago, so I got started again... needs a smaller front tyre, tighter & less travel suspension and replace the ugly parts. I really hate the looks of offroad bikes.



Waddyathink? Anyone tried one?
...it even has a leccy starter...😱
