Beats the hell out of Nascar

I rode an XR 650 R across the entire United States 11,000 miles on the Trans-America trail. Trust me, this bike is so rediculously AWESOME!!!! My XR 650 R is a daily driver and goes over 100+ MPH with mods. I can't say enough about this legendary motorcycle. They are AMAZING!! And as far as comfort, yeah its nowhere near as comfortable as a BMW but when you've been riding a dirt bike for many years all I use is a beaded seat cover and I'm good for 400+ miles on or off-road!!!!

I rode a few times with Andy in high school. He was crazy fast back then. Huge props to his racing accomplishments :)

Spent the hole day riding the xr650r. The engine produces so much trackable and usable torque. Its no wonder it wins races.

The XR 650R is an incredible desert racer. It has won every professional desert race its entered . It remains one of the few stock dirt bikes that can touch 100 mph

Wow... this is frickin awesome. These guys are nuts... 110 MPH, flat out, offroad... that's crazy.

This whole movie is just pure magic! This scene and story r incredible I feel like I’m there!!!

So epic... XR650R just crushes the desert.

the fact that these bikes and guys reach over 100mph in places is crazy and testament to the riders bravery,bikes reliability and the tuners that develop the bikes. the fact these start out as a fairly wheezy xr650 shows how versatile the xr is. great bikes with a range for full on desert racing at the top level down to begginers who need a smooth motor with enough power to have fun yet not be intimidating. nice vid

Im 16 years late, but i finally bought my first XR650R. its the first bike ive been on in years and boy is it exhilarating.

So epic. This gives me chills

SO absolutely gnarly!

I used to love seeing Scott summer’s kick butt on a XR in the Baja!

hey, I have the dvd, its great, actually its a movie that they made about the baja 1000 look for it, the title of the dvd is DUST TO GLORY. good luck..

Mouse steady gaining ground. At age 47 I wanna run baja

About 41 hp stone stock (in California, anyway), 50+ uncorked, 60+ with the power-up kit. Some guys get more than that. It just depends how much you want to spend! I hope Honda will put that excellent motor in a dualsport bike soon, but for racing, the 450s are lighter and just as fast. Much higher maintenance, though. Race teams can afford it. Not me! Mine handles freeways and mountain trails, no problem. Keep the oil changed, and the valves adjusted, and they'll last for years. KING!

i remember this in the movie, its a great movie, i recommend it.

Those guys are very impressive!

thats a good movie ive watched it like 100 times no joke

i recomend you watch the entire documentary film , you will enjoy it ! the 1x bike made it first, but in this section of the race the underdog proved how good of a rider he is to the people that bumped him

okay, where is next video in this event? dying to see the end!! come on ppl!

wow ENFIN Une vraie moto la xr 650 r

my dad a 2001 and its street legal with the baja kit and 5 gallon tank and one industries kit and he has been trying to sell it and wont wait for less than a year for me to turn 18 and buy it... i love riding it. when we got this 650 it had a 15 tooth sprocket in front and a 44 in the front. it was way too fast so we dropped 1 tooth on the front sprocket and that was still too fast so we dropped another and it is still pretty fast. especially for the singletrack we ride. solution was an xr400r

Lo mejor de honda las legendarias XR

You are absolutely right about the XR. It is a blast to ride. But the thing is if you are riding track the 450, any brand, kicks it but because of weight and power. I have the 450 for track but if I could (hopefully on day) I would have both.

Just bought one. Best purchase ever.

From the documentary "Dust to Glory". Great movie. It follows the Baja 1000 in all forms of vehicles. The bikes are the best though! They follow one racer, Mouse, from start to finsh. he races the entire race alone. Albiet he has a great pit crew, Ricky Johnson from the glory days. If you can get it, watch it. It is on netflix and in all blockbusters.

Topvid! First time I saw it

that clip make me wanna cry... but because its soo awesome !"

Now THAT was some racing. Wow.

Me too. :) Gotta love Dust to Glory.....

XR 650 R, the most stable and confident feeling bike I ever ridden. The faster you go the more stable. Only minus, lots of vibration in the bars made my hands numb, but that didnt stop me from twisting the throttle. I haven been this excited about a bike since the '77 RM 125. Oh, anyone ride the KTM 950 se yet?

@kalmte123 they 'might' tune it slightly differently due to the added weight of a water jacket, but that can be easily adjusted for

amazing vid

Absolutely fucking insane. Love it.

What a bike...

that beach shot was effin doooope hahah

sick!

Best vid

+TrentOWNZ Even though KTM has ZERO Baja 1000 victories and Honda has 17 consecutive Baja victories!!! Funny man that's a good one :D

I have no F*^#!ing idea what was going on but that was awesome!!!

I hope that one day I will have one of these bike and have the opportunity to ride it on the beach

SWEET!!!!!!!

@rideredification no, the frame is the same. the engine on the r doesnt have the emissions equipment and the suspension is tuuned more for street riding. other than that, its "basically" the same machine. of course there are more details but i have no time to explain it all.

SPETTACOLO!!!

honda should bring an updated version soon. CRF just not for everyday use, or extended touring

@eelmcd Its a Baja 1000 movie called "dust to glory"

This movie rules............

Hondas kick ass

I had to sell my street legal XR650R. I thought I would move back to Cali, but it won't be soon. I have a DR650 now, and it's a fun bike for casual riding, and it's a better street bike, but it's no match for the big red pig in the dirt. Those things have guts!

It's from "Dust to Glory"

Dios debe de tener una moto de estas.

at 3:01 i really really thought he crash what a powerful ass BIKE

I have a KTM 640 and it will do 85 on fire roads pretty easily with somewhere around 60hp. I'm pretty sure that a Honda team bike is probably cranking out 70hp and at that point its not the bike doing it but the rider.

is awesome video

2:55 What a god

This is awesome!!! How did the story end though!?

Andy was just dandy....This video made me randy...drinkin' my summer shandy...

...well where can i watch stuff like this on tv?

They talk about possibly missing the check point, but it is a chance they were going to take to catch up with the leader. He has a freaking headset to talk to the helicopter, which would be able to see the checkpoint. Talk about a dirty, cheating team. Let the two race and see who comes out ahead. Andy kicked ass. I have watched this movie and clips more than any other movies or clips. It still gives me the chills. Racing kicks ass and always will. i am older now but still love to get out and ri

So glad I was able to see this battle play out on the big screen when it was released in theaters, the ultimate FU to the corporate overlords . Fucking gladiators 🙌 !

@Pwn00b Do you know how was the reason for Honda didnt make this incredible motorcycle?

i wanna go riding noww! D:

I'm so whett...Oh Andy....My body!!

AWSOME...F@CKIN AWSOME....

3:05 you can hear that 650 just roaring through the dirt.

esta movie esta pasada de lansa de llama dust to glory perrisisisisma la neta

Close....2004. 2007 was the race from Ensenada to Cabo San Lucas 1290 miles.

@crashedupderby they do but not a liquid cooled r version

when is the baja 1000???? i know its in the fall but exactly when does it start???

power

exactly

Хорошо валит )))

like it

My dad rides a XR250R but i'm on a ktm 200 exc. Both awesome bikes. what movie is this from?

what happened in the end? the b team came out on top rite?

Does anyone know what program is this extract from? I'd like to find the full version. So amazing.

It's to see if you'r bike or what ever you ride finish the race. Some people race in the Baja to see if they can finish the race even though they know the're not going to be the first rider or driver to finish the race. You have to have balls to race in the Baja.

110 mph!...are you mad, bro? Special rider with a special machine

I have the xr400r and the xr250r, after I saw this video Im thinking on geting the xr650r, it looks fucking owsome....

pretty impressive huh

Baja would swallow up a KLR, esp the 08. KLR's are nice for playing around and commuting, but you wouldn't want to race one offroad

i'm so sad...no more xr's are made

Man ! See him just fucking Tacing on the beach ! Thats awsome 110 mph :P SIC ! Awsome video

too bad honda doesnt make this bike anymore.

Where is the end of this?

I have the xr650l air colled i like to have the xr650r water colled :)

yeah right...

@Pwn00b it is a pretty bad reazon, because there isnt any similar motorcycle like this in any other mark inclusive. My 650r have a acerbis tank and y like to do travels for my large country. Thanks you.

awessssssssssssommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmme how did he not fall

You can watch it instantly on Netflix... Dust to Glory

haha your comment made me laugh so hard. so true

I have a Tornado XR250... my dream is to race on the baja 1000.

I want a fuel injected, cush drive version of this. A machine that could go anywhere

@ridecrazy11 how do u join?? its my dream to race in this

Dust to glory root9065

What show was this? Where can I find the whole thing?

I wish I could buy a nice XR650R

Yeah i miss the old 4stroke reliability , The suzuki DRZ400E is about it now . I'm thinking of getting a 2stroke 300cc because it's reliable

From 2:55... how in the world did he not fall?!
