i own a xr650R make sure you get the "R" the "L" blows, it is imho a great all around bike for me, i ride mx tracks, off-road, and i race the M.R.A.N series which is basicly all tight technical shyt. i love this bike, i cant even explane how much i love it... if i had it all over to do again... 450x or a xr650r, id pick the "r" every time... great bike
