                                I passed my test back in September and bought an RD04 Africa Twin. There is more than enough power to do anything you want with this bike. I also have a CBR600 as a second bike. I will always take the XRV over the CBR as it is so much more fun to ride.
I have done 5000 miles since passing my test and the bike has been faultless. It even survived a nasty crash after sliding on some black ice near Exeter and only needed a brake lever after going 250m on its side down the road. Picked it up and started first time.

Two up, it is fine, though be aware that the seat is one long seat and your pillion can slide about a bit!
I changed my screen for a tall one, and added some semi-off road tyres (mitas e-07) which makes the Twin into a fantastic off road bike. Mine kept its own against a CF250 up the devon greenlanes, and despite its weight will match anything on the rough stuff!

There are LOTS of superb accessories for the RD04 on german ebay which is good, as it seems that the likes of Touratech have forgotten that the original (and more off-road biased) 650 (RD03) and 750 (RD04) Africa twins ever existed which is a pain!. 

I plan to change the gearing a bit with different sprockets to make motorway mileage a bit better. Mine manages an average of 34MPG which is ok but not as good as the later RD07/A.                 ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[
                                After riding road bikes for 18 years I bought this bike for a West Africa tour and now I'll keep it for the rest of my life.

- Strong points -
Reliability
Engine behaviour
Balance
Fuel consumption/ autonomy
Avalability of spares and know-how
Value

- Weak points - 
It's heavy and the weight is highly located
A couple of horses more would be handy for long tarmac stretches
Front brakes power when loaded
Fuel switch

- How did I turn my Africa Twin even better -
Crash bars
Hand lever protectors
Wider and loger pegs
Analog voltmeter
Bracket and ignition key switched powered GPS
Headlight metallic mesh
25mm risers for the handlebar
Small steel plate welded to the side stand

                                Handles like a Harley, brakes like a bus but wouldn’t swop it for anything. One of the best bikes I’ve ever owned. Takes everything you throw at it and begs for more. Mine is named "Oliver - please sir can I have some more". Dead easy maintenance and simplistic design. Brilliant!                ]]></description>

                                A truly capable, year-round workhorse.  Excellent finish which remains very good after 9 winters use from new.  A commanding riding position with 250+ mile tank range.  Very reliable albeit it's suffered some of the usual (minor) failures but which are easy to remedy (fuel pump, speedo drive, regulator/rectifier).  Fairly simple to maintain & work on.  Good for long distance at a steady 75/80mph (60bhp is really quite adequate).  Returns 50 - 60 mpg depending on use.  Copes well with mild off-road use using TKC80 tyres. All in all, an excellent motorcycle and one to be kept.                 ]]></description>

                                Honda's true adventure bike, rugged and reliable really will go anywhere.
There's four models in the line-up, the original RD03650 RD04 750 RD07 750 RD07A 750. The later bikes have best spares situation but there's plenty of parts about.
A very strong engine backed up by a good chassis, many have reached 100,000 miles and still going strong. There are weak points such as corroded wheel rims, easily rectified with a rebuild. Fuel pump can fail, easily replaced with a Facet 40105 cheaply and fit & forget.
Plenty of after market parts about, such as crash bars and luggage systems.
Lots of informed help can be found on http.xrv.org.uk an enthusiasts forum.
The only big problem is finding one, we don't sell 'em, we keep 'em forever!                ]]></description>
