I am interested, I ve been looking for a good deal on these....
Thanks,

commute was good w/ this bike though i only did it a coupla times. high(er than a sportbike) to see further in traffic, corbin seat makes longer rides/commute better. torque does the rest for grins. though it has been regeared so it's not revving sky high on the freeway. helps w/ mileage too. still plenty of power to pull away.

tires stuck like glue.

recheck PM

What's the seat height with the lowering link in place?

[MackeyStingray]

[Beauregard]

bump for a good bike with a bullitt-proof motor.

[MackeyStingray]

thanks for the bump!! :thumbup definitely a well built motor. it's aircooled and very simple to work on. no need to mess w/ a cooling system ;) still has enough power for everything you'd need on the street...except squidly high-speed runs on 280...it can hold it's own on the freeway but it's happiest around town or in the goat trails and twisties.

Bump
I want it...don't have the cash right now though .:cry

[VeloceMoto]

This is a badass bike! I can vouch for the fun of XR650's. Probably the most fun street bike I've ever ridden (seriously)




Wanna trade for a GS500? :D

[MackeyStingray]

thanks for the interest!! :thumbup

sorry, need the cash for bills. wouldn't mind a bike but bills take precedent

would like to sell by end of the month

Stock XR650L seat height is 37". Lowering links usually lower the bike about 1-1.5". Raising the fork tubes in the triples about 3/4" helps too. Then of course going from 18/21" stock wheels and high profile tires to 17" low profile tires takes it down another 3" or so.

Stock = 37"
Link - 1.5"
17s -3"

So I'd guess it's about 33" or so as it sits. Of course these bikes are also designed to have about 4" of sag with the rider aboard, so that gets it down there.

I am inseam-challenged (28") and my XR650L 'tard WITHOUT a link and with the forks at stock height lets me almost flatfoot it with both feet.

I commute about 55 miles a day on the freeway on mine, rain or shine. It cruises at 65-75MPH just fine with 15F/43R gearing. I have almost 37,000 miles on mine.

[wickerman777]

Do you take financing:teeth

[redcliffs]

what's the tank capacity/mileage?

[MackeyStingray]

it has an oversized tank. i didn't calculate mileage but should be damn far.Do you take financinghaha, sorry. gotta be everything up front.

[redcliffs]

when's the bike registered to? (strange question, I know, but I have my reasons!)

[MackeyStingray]

registered till may

How hard is it to put passenger pegs on? Also is that seat lower than stock?

[MackeyStingray]

haven't tried. would need to fab something up and i'm not sure where'd you mount em...

it's a corbin seat + lowering link + lowered front so it sits lower than stock. michaeln posted more info on this a few posts up.

[slowpoke]

Are you looking for a new track bike?:confused

[MackeyStingray]

wish i were...bills and more bills
