Honda XR Series

The Honda XR series motorcycles are a range of single-cylinder four-stroke Honda off-road motorcycles that were designed in Japan and assembled all over the world. The series is gradually being replaced by the similar CRF series. Some of the XR series came in two versions, R and L. The R version bikes were designed for off-road riding; they had very few creature comforts, and tended to come standard with knobby off-road tires fitted. The R version bikes, without modification, generally were not street legal. The L version bikes were designed to be street legal dual sport models, with appropriate lighting, tires and other features needed to ride on public roads.

In its heyday, the XR series consisted of 10 models; however, currently only the dual-sport XR 650L remains. The rest of the XR line has been transitioned into the CRF line, however the 50, 70, and 80 pretty much remain unchanged from their XR heritage.
