Just picked up a 2006 Honda XR650R!! Basically new, completely stock
So freaking stoked to get back in the dirt with some nice hardware... Anyone here have one? Mods? Whats the best aftermarket exhaust?

When picking out your exhaust remember spark arrestors are mandatory at Ganaraska now.
Thanks, yes I will be getting something with a spark arrestor... I thought they were mandatory for years at the Ganny? I have never seen anyone checked however
Getting back into dirt on an XR650R?! That thing is a weapon and will launch you sub-orbital! :DQuote:

I would have bought a CRF450X had I been able to find one in my price range in the same shape. Bring on the roost!
Congrats! Pics please.Quote:

The treeline was way too close to bother with third, but I'll tell you this, it felt like a tall 400 in terms of weight and handling.
It's too much dirt bike for me, but exciting and a challenge!
Picture is crap, I will have to figure out how to post better onesAttachment 28127
