XR600
Hello guys. Hope you can help - I'm a regular on the XT forum, but not really been in here
I have been offered a really nice XR600 for a great price. I won't say too much, but the bike has been used for green-laning. It is a 1988 model without a single spot or corrosion, and just 16,000 miles on the clock. It is just over 1500GBP.
Does this make a good basis for an overlander? I am planning a bit of light touring in Spain and POortugal this summer, as a shakedown for my Atlandtic Loop trip this autumn.
How much do I need to budget for improvements? How are the bikes different from a 3AJ twin-headlamp Tenere? What are the known weak points? I have had a look around the web and even the late '80's XRs look amazingly modern to me...
*ANY* opinions or viewpoints would be gratefully received. If you have any pics of a prepped XR600 please email them to me.
Thanks, and happy riding, Honda people!
