XR650R



Chris Haines only uses the best, including Honda's best motorcycles, like the original "King of Baja" the venerable XR650R. That's all any desert-riding enthusiast ever has to know about the XR650R, multi-time champ of the Baja 1000 (Chris' win last November was his 13th!), without a doubt, the toughest tests of man and machine this side of the Dakar Rally. Potent power, supple handling, nasty-terrain-swallowing suspension, bulletproof ruggedness—the XR's got it all in spades. Looking for the toughest off-road bike on the market? Then look no further than the King.
