(281) 506-1300 — or tap below for pricing on this XR650L.
The 2025 Honda XR650L is a carbureted dual-sport motorcycle built around a 644cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine that has proven itself since 1993. Available in White at Honda of Houston for $6,999, this street-legal single pairs 13 inches of ground clearance with over 11 inches of suspension travel at both ends, making it one of the few new motorcycles equally capable on pavement and unimproved trails right out of the crate.
About the XR650L
The XR650L is Honda's longest-running dual-sport platform, essentially unchanged since 1993. The 644cc air-cooled single is still carbureted, still kicks out reliable midrange torque, and still uses a five-speed manual in an era when most of the dual-sport market has moved to fuel injection and electronics. That's the point. With 13 inches of ground clearance, 11 inches or more of suspension travel at both ends, and a curb weight of 346 pounds, it's sized for real off-road use while remaining street-legal. The Suzuki DR650 and Kawasaki KLR650 are the direct comparisons, and buyers choosing among the three are choosing a philosophy more than a spec sheet.
Houston-Area Fit
Street-legal to Sam Houston National Forest and back without a trailer, or ride surface streets to Crosby for a day at Xtreme Off Road Park. The 13 inches of ground clearance handle Houston's post-rain road debris and flooded underpasses better than anything short of a lifted truck. Right now, with temps in the 70s and humidity still low, this is the window for all-day rides before summer pushes departure times to dawn. The 2.8-gallon tank is the one limitation to plan around on longer runs, but for mixed-surface riding within an hour of the dealership, the XR650L covers ground that pure street bikes and pure dirt bikes can't.

Yes, the XR650L is a dual-sport motorcycle and is fully street-legal. It comes equipped with lights, mirrors, and a horn from the factory. You will need to register and title it with the Texas DMV, carry liability insurance, and hold a Class M motorcycle endorsement on your Texas driver's license.
