The 2026 Honda XR650L is expected to continue its legacy as a reliable and versatile dual-sport motorcycle. While specific details are yet to be officially announced, it's likely to retain its core characteristics, including the air-cooled, 644cc single-cylinder engine known for its robust construction and ample low-end torque. The XR650L's long-travel suspension, 21-inch front wheel, and rugged frame are designed to handle a variety of terrains, from paved roads to challenging off-road trails. Expect updates to comply with the latest emissions standards, potentially incorporating fuel injection for improved efficiency and performance. The 2026 model may also feature minor refinements to ergonomics and styling, while maintaining the classic XR650L's simple and functional design.
