 Geeze. We've been hearing rumors for several years now. Some of the bonfire boasting emanated from well-connected dirt bikers and others from pro riders and even a few factory mechanics. But finally in the 2009 model year, we are greeted with yet the same old air-cooled iron sled. While the reliability of the big bore Honda XR650L is a tough bike to beat, many were hoping for far more from factory Honda. Building the bike strictly by rumor, one might at least expect a supermoto-inspired machine. Even with an air-cooled powerplant, the new skin might be considered cool. But mind you, these rumors were the least enthusiastic of the lot. And after the emergence of the world economic situation, these rumors seemed far more viable than the longstanding version of what the 650L would become. Essentially, from as far back as maybe 2005, the new dual sport bike would be built upon the mighty water-cooled XR650R powerplant and blessed with the CRF name. This fantasy would earn the name of its little sister, the CRF230L. The mighty big bore street legal dirt bike would be called the CRF650L.

Imagine if you will, a family with twin brothers, the 2007 Honda CRF450R and
CRF450X. These brothers, however, are fraternal twins, not identical twins. Although
bonded to each other with inseparable genetic ties, they are still and all quite
unique from one another. Let's also suppose these brothers are both excellent
athletes, uniquely gifted. However, one eventually chooses to pursue the sport
of football, while the other takes up basketball. And while these two sports are
entirely different, each of these two brothers excels in his own chosen venue,
and the twins quickly emerge as superstars.

With dozens of off-road championships to its credit, the Honda XR650R is the undisputed
king of the desert from the tip of the Baja 1000 on up to the off-road desert racing scenes of Nevada
and California, thanks to its lightweight aluminum frame, off-road race-bred
suspension and massively powerful liquid-cooled 650cc XR engine.
