Seeing this bike in such mint condition makes me so happy. I have a 1990 xt600e that I've been riding around and now I realize that this bike is a treasure just like it's other 600 brothers.

Awesome, Mr Honda were ever you are, Thanks for all the Great Bikes!

As a 49 year-old man I remember these bikes I always liked them but I never realize how special they would become. I'm now a proud owner of an 08 XR650L that is mint with 5000 miles and I absolutely love it.

Beautiful… 1986, what a year for Honda’s CR500’s VFR1000’s XR600’s

Bought one bran spanking new. Loved it. Took a lot of 3 day dirt road trips all over Washington state with it.

My brother bought this bike when he was 16. He bought it in 2001 and it was also in mint condition. He loved riding wheelies around town with that bike. He paid $1600 for it back then. Man we miss that bike.

In the 80's I bought an 83 XL600 from a man named Lee Hughes in the CA Bay Area. He was a dirt-riding legend. Honda gave him the bike for a story, and he rode further north than any motorcycle had ever gone before him, and made it to within a few hundred miles of the North Pole. The bike was on display for a while, then Lee sold it to me. Man, I wish I still had her. She ran perfectly for years.

Can’t beat Honda’s 1986 lineup! From their three wheelers to their dirt bikes they were just flat out awesome! I have one of these in my garage with 14k miles on it and still runs like a top!

It seems like every 1986 dirt bike, three Wheeler, motorcycle, quad looks amazing

Stunning beautiful example of the era of the big 600!! Back in 92 I had an XR 600 R a 1987 dual carb with an Al Baker 630 kit Supertrapp exhaust and oversized headers KN Filter man this thing was a beastie!! Love this channel for all the right things motorcycles heaven!! Keep up the good work guys!! 😎😎😎

Had a xl250s xl 125r and an xl 185 with a 125 motor in it, ALL were awesome machines that never failed me in the 80s 90s

My first new bike. Bought it when I joined the ARMY.

I'm in love. That's one of my all time favorite bikes. I wish I could afford it but I'm between jobs right now. This sucks. What a dream come true that would be to own this absolutely stunning machine. I remember back in Jr high a friend had one and I drooled over it for a long time until he sold it. I can hardly watch this video.

The XR lineup stood the test of time. And they can take a serious beating. And they always kick over.

love my 1983 model so much...had it for 13 years...love from norway

Have to love the red, white and blue paint.

Nice with the special red engine

I have the same bike and I'm doing everything I can to bring her back to life!.it really is a struggle finding parts for tho... it does fire 1st kick normally so I like that!

That red engine sets it off 👌

I had an XL 500R 1982 Just a bullet proof beast. I now have an 04 XR 400R. Honda really are at the pinnacle of dual purpose bikes.

Gorgeous bike, the colors are awesome, looks factory fresh.

Have to ageee Kapn. 1 of my all time fsvorites too. The color combo is unbeatable.

Best bike ever! I have owned 4 of these one 87 with silver rims and I’m on my 3rd 86 with the gold rims. I regret selling the others.

Just got this same bike about 2 weeks ago 15k miles in amazing shape runs beautifully I love these things

That’s a cream puff !! Sounds amazing and wheelies very nice ! Wow !!🔥

The 80's dual sport the best ever made easy to work on bulletproof and goes anywhere you want it to go

When those came out everybody wanted one including me

what a piece of machine !!!!! I only knew her in photos, that bike is a beauty, it's my kid's dream!!!!! GOD bless you Bro, greetings from ARGEN-CHINA 😂😂😎

BEST Looking Bike Honda ever Made !!!!!

That's the most beautiful motorcycle I've ever seen...damn

Badass! First bike my dad let me ride, and my dad passed one of these on to me, same one, my has dual carbs

Thanks for the memories, I owned one of those your right all around the High Water mark for sure 👍

I had one...... Damn i loved that bike😢

Nice bike AND I got my tickets for your CR500 raffle today !! Looking forward to Nov 20’now ! Have a great day

Always like the red-orange 85 XL350 and Xr350 more. But this comes after. Xr250L's are also special.

That bike is incredible. Thanks.

Stunning is right ! Beautiful bike

Great bike Ken!! Rare and absolutely amazing!!!

Kaplan America is the most fun channel on YT. God bless the usa! 😂

Wow your packing a revolver, sweet. Nice bike as well.... .

Had an 86. Was an awesome bike went good even stock but after $1300 worth of mods it was an absolute BLAST to ride. 70 mph wheelies included

Wow, beautiful bike, I love the red white and blue paint.

She's an absolute beauty ken cheers!

A smooth little ticker with a boundful of power ! Nice ! ✌🏻

Such a classic bike. 👍😎

Pristine XL but I cringe when I see your “brass knuckles” potentially hitting the side plate 😧 Living the dream at the museum that’s for sure. Thanks for the videos

This bike is one of my most coveted bikes honda made.

I had one of these bikes as well loved it

I resurrected one of those. Didn't make any money but I broke even and enjoyed the process. I have a 94 XR 250L that still has the original chain and sprockets.

Never seen anything like that here in Oz looks trick. Reminds me of the old red motor Elsinore.

Absolutely Stunning! 😍

Sweet bike looks like my old 83 XR 500 R And the white /blue reminds me of the 83 CB1100F brings back nothing but kickass Memories

Bought a xl600r new. I loved everything about this bike except starting it.

Would give anything to have this bike and I really like my 2006 WR 450 I just completely restored but I can't afford it ...wish before I bought my WR you had this awesome honda

Just bought the exact same bike in 7 out of 10, all very minut stuff, 700 bucks, and it’s definitely a wheelie monster and rides like a Cadillac

I put 40k on my xl600r it's my first bike I bought in college still own it and now that I'm "adult" i will rebuild the beast for a trip around the world :) definitely need a full engine rebuild suspension and everything else hahaha but Damm what a amazing machine

The american flag matches the honda color perfect.

2 up pegs on the swing arm. That's awesome. Too young to know this big new

I bought a new 86- XR600 , and raced a few hare scrambles w it, out in the open i would tear up every 250 racing , was heavy to race though...

I had a transalp 600 didn't use it for a while but being a trusted honda new battery fresh fuel started up straight away the old ones are the best no doubt about it

Beautiful bike!

Beautiful machine

The best Honda models for me.... Glx 50 cub 90 cr 250 and 500 xr 600 and this beauty XLR 600...better than Yamaha s XT 600....ΓΕΙΑ ΣΑΣ from Greece with love 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷💪🕉️🍄🙏

Won't piss off the neighbors in the morning

Just gorgeous

Amazing bike man

Beautiful

❤ love it

by far the best looking xl

Perfect 👍

Wonderful year of honda

Priceless UNOBTANIUM 😍🇬🇧🙏

"Pure Unobtanium right there!" I dare anybody to find another great one!....Mr Kaplan America if it were put to a vote, My vote goes to hanging it up on the wall in your Museum!...I mean I know its meant to be ridden hard and all the time right!?...put it on the wall...cuz that gas tank!...What a cool piece though...Never even seen one of those...love it...

Still the best street and trail ever made !

Man, I'd like to have that 650l, but I just got a 2022 KLR !

After mods I ran a 13.0 1/4 mile at 100 mph at Epping NH.

sweet ride , had an 86 xl600r from 88-2000 then Family came and bikes went, now just picked up another same bike but last owner removed the kick auto decomp and just used the manual . so far been able to fire it up 3 times in a month . Any clue where to find that cable and what length it would be? thanks in advance cant wait to get back out and rip on it . Motor is all new inside and redy to go just cant do the hand decomp with only two left fingers that work lol. Thanks again and love that clean runner

Your killing me Ken !!! My Brother in law has a 74 rd350 in our barn if your interested.

I just bought that same bike yesterday same condition

propper bike hi from ireland,

My buddy has one that is super motard. Actually does the canyons alot quicker than you'd think

A dual sport would be fun.

Now where talkin👌 such great motorcycles.

She’s a beauty 😍

LUXURYUS BIKE KAPLAN THE BEST

OMG that square gauge!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Did Jeff Casteen build and DYNO mini Sprint engines for the guys at the old whip city mini Sprint car track in Westfield mass? Years ago I had the opportunity to rip a 750 GSXR mini Sprint and a 1000 GSXR mini Sprint on a freshly shaved sod field and I'm pretty sure it was Jeff who did the engines... I could be wrong 'cause I'm getting pretty old but I'm not as old as Caplan America LOL

Awesome thanks for sharing just wondering what brand tires you got on there? 😎🇺🇸✌🏽

It would go good with my 1985 xl250r

Dam that is nice

I have one. I love it so much i will never sell it.

I have an 83 600r, still rips

I just found one of these literally brand new the owner kept it in his house covered in a tarp, all original with 100 miles have all the papers to it

Hey Jen I got a question so I just got a 82 xl500r it’s badass but it backfires pretty bad what could cause that? It has a 130 main jet and its bite to 0.25. Thanks

I almost had one with 16000km on the clock for $3000 AU dollars 7 year's ago. Miss out on it buy 5 minutes guy called up before me 😭

👌👌👌👌

Cops ever bust your balls riding around out there? That was half my childhood....running and hiding from them.

i have 4extra 86 xl600r tanks. im about to bring one of them to life, but i need all the parts.

Looks like we know where their inspiration came from on the Africa Twin
