Street legal XR in Oklahoma

Hello all,

I have had my 01 xr650r for a bit over a year now. Got it tagged now, but still don't ride it much. Anyone wanting to know the tricks to getting an R tagged here, drop me a line.

Also in Okla...
I ride a 04 BMW 1150 GS, selling it..
Is the XR650R over kill for fire roads, 2 track?
How far would you ride it on back roads to get to where you were going??

Thanks,,,

I have a buddy in Kansas who love his BRP for exactly that sort of riding. My only suggestion is that the BRP has the worst seat I've ever parked my rear end on. The Renazco is arse heaven ...

I agree on the stock seat being a torture device. I don't mind the hard seats on my YZ's because I spend most of my time on the pegs anyways, but the XR kills me. I have a soft foam coming and will try that and see if I can stand it. I am a Corbin dealer.. anyone heard how their seat for the XR is?

If I am going to ride in tight woods, I will be on my YZ250. The XR feels too top heavy, but for open stuff and dirt roads etc. it is about perfect. As far as how far I would ride it... with the stock seat, not too far!

My situation is similar. I use my XR for desert stuff and long runs. And I have a Cal plated KDX200 a friend of was a Kawi Supercross mechanic went completely through for me and it barks. I tried the Guts soft foam seat and it wasn't significantly better IMHO. At that time Renazco was offering $100 off to locals. I think he stopped. I got a used seat off eBay for $10 and dropped it off with him. I wouldn't be in a hurry to get it back if you get my meaning.

Well, I installed the soft foam yesterday, and rode the pig in to the shop today. Only about a fifteen mile trip... The seat is notably softer than the stocker, and I will leave it at that for a while. If any locals have the Corbin or the Renzaco(?) I would like a test sit before I throw out more coin.
