[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 99127, member: 18302"] It was a good bike for it's day, and I almost bought one new in '84. It certainly does not perform up to today's standards, especially the suspension. My buddy had an '84 (first year of the front disc, last year of the dual carbs). Performance wise, the motor is fine. The XR350R has a short wheel base and a steep steering head angle, so it turns quick for a 4 stroke but would not equal my '84 KDX200 in the tight woods due to the Honda's weight. The XR350R motor is fun, but noted for running hot, so change the oil frequently. The short wheelbase and a high center of gravity hurts hill climbing ability, even though the motor would be a nice hill climber in a different chassis. Would make a very good budget dual sport conversion. [/QUOTE]
