Personally im a big fan of the XR650. I used to take mine up to the Badlands offroad park all the time and it was a great ride. Wasn't great coming off 30ft tabletops but it is a dual purpose so i didn't expect it to lol. Never had any issues busting down the highways cruising past people either.
This.. I am a bigger guy and the 650 fits me perfect and has plenty of power and tons of aftermarket to do w/e you would like to it.
My buddys XR650 made right at 70hp to the tire with big cams, carb work, exhaust, and a tune. Talk about a fun bike..

check state laws before you try converting to street legal because some states won't allow it no matter how pristine a job you do simply because the title says "off road use only"
In California specifically if you want a street legal XR650 I believe 2001 is the cutoff for them to be registered.
Plated ones hold their value extremely well because of this.
