I'm not sure that the statement "the XR series is currently being replaced by the CRF series" is completely true. While some models (like the XR100 and 200) seem to have been replaced by CRF counterparts, in reality, most models, such as the XR 250 and 400, may not be replaced for some time. CRF models have much greater performance and complexity, and require much more skill to operate.There is still a market for reliable, simple, air-cooled midsize four strokes such as the XR.
Agreed. Additionally, the XR line has substantially higher benchmarks for reliability, and much longer maintenance intervals.
At least in Australia, it's no-longer possible to buy a new XR (with the exception of the XR250L, which has a 2006 model available), unless you find a shop with one in stock (which is still possible, as it's a very popular bike here). Most of the XR line (including the XR 400R, which is generally considered the "best" XR, due to it's great power and light weight) were last updated in 2004, and aren't even listed on the honda australia website (as of feb 2007). The 250L hasn't got enough power for serious riding (much less than my XR250R), and is probably still available due to it's popularity as a farm bike (it's cheap and reliable). All the XR's that are suited to trail riding are gone.
For some reason the word "penis" was written in between the beginning of all paragraphs. Cleaned that little bit of vandalism upTheOldSoul 08:45, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
what about the older models like the 200? maybe recording the years of production would be a good idea--Motorbyclist (talk) 02:17, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
The XR650R is a dry sump which which was an error while comparing the XR650L and the XR650R correction--knorc (talk) 12:12, 12 March 2008 (PST)
