Indeed, this bike has a lot of torque, and it requires judicious application of the throttle!
I agree, the XR650L is well suited to cover the miles in the wide open spaces of Idaho, but it really needs a 4.7-gallon fuel tank to do it safely. I got about 55 mpg on this trip, which is quite acceptable, but the fuel pumps are few, and far between, in the rural areas of Idaho.
Do you have a preference regarding the color of the fuel tank?
