Advice on buying a 1993 Honda XR600
-
One popped up close to me, I have wanted one for a long time. Thinking about turning it into a supermoto. They have like 46 hp stock but you should be able to get that up a bit right? Does anyone have experience with these machines?
Cheers

You won't need to, they will be wheelie monsters with the right gearing
-
@Nottsbiker Probably, internet said it only weighed 128kg (dry). That's not so bad is it?
-
@Irongamer727 There is no way they are that light. Aprilia RS125 is 130 Dry!
Impressive if they are though
-
Found an xr650r as well now. 20 hp more but weighs more as well. Supermoto wheels was included.
-
@Irongamer727 I want one of those too I’m too much of a cheepskate to actually buy one so if anyone is giving one away hit your boy up
-
@declan Leaning towards the Xr650 now since most are sold as supermotos. They're not very cheap though.
-
@Irongamer727 yeah but they last forever the 650s watercooled too so that’s an advantage although I prefer air cooled as there’s less to go wrong
-
Don't bother with the air cooled 600, get the 650r water-cooled, road legal Dakar racer
-
@Glynn123 what you got against air cooled boi?
-
@declan don't mind them but big tolerances to allow for the temperature variations kinda suck for tuning, also the water cooled R version is just a different bike all together, proper race machine.
-
@Glynn123 I do really like the water cooled engine for looks it’s one of those timeless designs imo
