Honda XL500R Motorcycle Review - XR500

This is my 1982 Honda XL500R Enduro Motorcycle, with a 1978 XR500 motor. The Honda XL500R is a great all-around motorcycle, fun on a dirt road, and light and narow enough to zip through city traffic, and fast enough for short runs on the freeway, though The XL500R does get a bet buzzy at high speeds. The Honda XL500R has a vibration damper in the engine, but you still feel some vibration. I really love this motorcycle. It's a lot of fun, has a great torquey engine, and can commute, play in the dirt, or do wheelies. Watch the HD video to learn more about the Honda XL500R and how to kick start it. The XR500 motor works great in this bike with the XL500R electrics and carb, and high-compression Wiseco piston. It revs quick and goes fast enough for me.
