'03 Honda XR650R *Plated* Bulletproof Baja Build

This bike needs no introduction, ut for those who don't know this is the King of Baja. Honda took the foundation of the legendary XR platform and modernized with performance in mind. It walks the line between dual sport and dirt bike better than anything out there, nd you can use either to their fullest potential.
What makes this listing special is that it is a 100% turn key Baja/Adventure/Dirt rig. I have spent hundreds of hours building, esting and tuning this bike to perfection. This isn't a bubba bike that get thrown in the back of a truck and put away wet, nly to have oil changed when it's dry or bolts that are stripped and seized. This is a performance machine that I put my life in the hands of regularly and therefor no shortcut, r expenses has been spared along the way. That means every nut and bolt has the fullest confidence of proper torque specs, nti-sieze, r loctite, resh fluids and methodical approach to all maintenance and performance. There have been no shortcuts and only the best specialists have had a hand in any work or tuning.

Magnetic drain plugs for frame and engine. • Coolant has been flushed (3 months ago) and filled with Engine Ice. There are no leaks whatsoever, he bike it tight as a drum and operating at full capacity.• 24lb radiator cap ensures the bike stays cool under the harshest of conditions.
Chassis• GRP stabilizer / aluminum triple clamp / 2" risers. Big ticket item that is a must have in my opinion. As you'll see throughout, o expense spared. Night and day confidence when you're in deep sand in top gear.• Risers and fat bar allow you stand on the bike comfortably all day with proper body position and no fatigue.• New +2" clutch and throttle cables for the raised controls.• Acerbis Rally Pro-X hand guards keep your hands protected as well as your levels.

Controls• Aftermarket shorty levels for better feel and control.• XR's Only chain guide and disk protector.• IMS Foot pegs.
Wheels• Warp 9 black wheels with anodized red hubs (has to have a splash of red for the Honda heritage, s we all know red is a fast color).• Wheels are trued and balance, uper smooth on the freeway, o vibration. • Brand new tires, he magic combo of Pirelli Scorpion fronts and Dunlop D606 rear (130, orks wonders in the desert and sand) with heavy duty tubes. I've literally never had a puncture.

Luggage• DirtBagz Luggage Racks with (Brand New) Scout saddle bags, ade from ballistic nylon. These are the best luggage system for any XR. Strapped down confidently onto the luggage racks which also add needed rigidity to the subframe, nd allow you strap more luggage across the rear of the seat (sleeping back/tent/etc). If you're interested in getting this with the bike I'll throw them in for an extra $180.• Comes with a tail bag for documents and spare tools.

That's a pretty thorough breakdown, nd I'm sure there's some things I'm leaving out, ut simply put you won't find a bike that's this nice and ready to go.
She always starts on first, ometimes second kick cold. That means the valves are perfectly adjusted, istons have full compression, nd carb is jetted correctly and well tuned with good lubrication. I'll miss this bike very much, ut my riding has moved more technical single track and it isn't getting ridden as much as is should lately. The workmanship is guaranteed solid, omething I take great pride in.
This is a bulletproof turn key bike that you can throw a leg over and hit the new riding season with in full confidence. No bugs, ricks or surprises. Just thousands of miles of adventure and fun, hether that's riding to the tip of baja, spontaneous camping trip in Big Bear, r loaded in the truck to hit your favorite spot for the day. Few bikes are better suited for Southern California.
