Description
It’s been at least 10 months since I’ve taken the Honda XR650 out on the trails. In this video, we kick things off with some drone shots and trail riding before sitting down to talk about what it feels like getting back on an iconic air-cooled dual sport, how it compares after riding modern bikes, and what's next for the XR.
