The next step in my 2023 Honda XR650L build was one I'd originally assumed that I would not like. To my surprise it ended up making me realize that the XR650L is a FAR BETTER adventure bike for my purposes than the old Gen3 or Gen2 KLR650 ever could've been. Ride along on this adventure with my dad and I, and you'll see why!
