Honda XLV 750 R
Now this is new to me, I must admit. Searching for a second-hand XRV750 Africa Twin I stumbled upon this one, a XLV750R, made in 1984. You guys are the ones to know, I reckon: It is a bike clamied to be produced to beat BMW in early 80's Paris-Dakar. It is shaft-driven, has 3 valves per cylinder, and the twin engine produces a healthy 61 bhp @ 7000 rpm. This is a new aquaintance to me.
Question is: Is it any good? Yes it's old, but the guy who's selling claim he has had it from new, taking really good care of it (it certainly has the looks of good caretaking) and it has only some 36000 km's on the odo. Considering the price he is asking it might just be a bargain I'm looking at here.
Anyone who can help with some additional information and/or experience reports? I couldn't find any by searching the hub - but then again I might be spelling it all wrong...
Really looking forward to your replies!
Take care out there
