OK, let me start off by saying this XL is only available for purchase
by the manliest of men (or women). My friend, if it was possible for a
dirt bike to sprout chest hair and a five o'clock shadow, this Honda
would look like Tom Selleck. It is just that manly.
It was never intended to ride down a grass filled ditch in your LBZ
baggy gear looking like a spode. It wasn't meant to do 3-foot long pop
wheelies in front of your hillbilly friends in your cousin's back yard
while everyone drinks Budweiser. No, that's what a 50 is for. If
that's the kind of bike you're looking for, then just do us all a
favor and stop reading right now. This bike has been to hell and back,
twice, and has the scars to prove it. So if you can't handle being
seen behind the bars of this biblical, fire breathing, dragon slaying
hero because it has a few purple hearts, move on.
This bike was engineered by 3rd degree ninja pirate super-warriors in
the highest mountains of Japan to serve the needs of the man that
cheats death on a daily basis. They didn't even consider superfluous
Nancy boy, contradictory decor in the form of Monster, Red Bull, Spy,
Oakley, FMF, and Pro Circuit stickers plastered all over the bike.
This bike looks legit because it is.
This brute comes with the things us testosterone-fueled super action
junkies need. It has a 600cc to fly down the trail or to outrun the
cops and has a 6-speed transmission so you know grandma won't be
taking off with it when you're not looking. It's saved my bacon more
than once. It's got special blood/gore resistant grippy seat cover. It
even has a first-aid kit in the back. You know what the first aid kit
has in it? A pint of whiskey, a stitch-your-own-wound kit and a hunk
of leather to bite down on when you're operating on yourself. (NOTE: I
cut myself fighting a streetbiker who looked at me funny and used the
first aid kit, a replacement kit is available for an additional $100
and comes with Gentleman's Jack.)
My price on this bad boy is an incredibly low $2000 but I'll entertain
reasonable offers. And by reasonable, I mean don't walk up and tell me
you'll give me $500 for it. That's liable to earn you a Burmese-
roundhouse-sphincter-kick with a follow up three fingered eye-jab.
Would it hurt? Hell yeah. Let's just say you won't be the prettiest
guy at the Coldplay concert anymore.
There's only 25,000 miles on this hellcat from Planet Kickass since
purchased in 83'. Trust me, it will outlive you and the offspring that
will carry your name. It will live on as a monument to your machismo.
Now, go look in the mirror and tell me what you see. If it's a rugged,
no holds barred, super brute he-man macho Chuck Norris stunt double,
then reply to this ad. I might be out hang-gliding or BASE jumping or
just chilling with my lady, but leave a message and I'll get back to
you. And when I do, we'll talk about a price over a nice glass of
Schmidt while we listen to Johnny Cash.

No llama reference, so I'll say not Deeney. Besides, I think his XR is
already gone.

An XL600 is actually a good bit more powerful (and less dirt worthy)
than his old XR650L.

I think that guy stole the ad text almost verbatim from a KX125 ad
someone linked to a few weeks ago. Read that ad with a KX125 in mind
and it gets even funnier...
That's just damn good advertising. We're talking about it, aren't we?
