Honda Africa Twin XRV750 RD07A

Post by Loggy »

FOR SALE:

My beloved XRV750 RD07A in the fastest R/W/B colours. Year 2000 with 79,000mls on the clock. DO NOT let this put you off, this bike runs great and the engine is sweet. She returns 55MPG and starts first push of the starter despite having the chokes blanked off. I am only selling this bike as I haven't got the room for it because I have just bought another bike. I would love to keep it as it's a great looking bike, a classic and attracts a lot of attention. However, I keep it in a friends garage as I don't have one and putting two bikes in her garage is not an option so it has to go... :(

I've added up what I've spent on it over the four years getting it sorted and it adds up to over £1,900... I've got LOTS of history and receipts for it going back to when it was still a young upstart. Lot's of old MOT's. Spare key and original owners manual etc. I've serviced it myself every 4,000mls and all parts are genuine HONDA parts with receipts. Engine oil I've used is Motorex 10w/40 Semi Synth.

Now I will try and remember what it's had in my ownership. ALL PARTS GENUINE HONDA except chain, exhaust and rear sprocket.

[/ul]


I'm sure I've forgot stuff!!!

As you can see I've spent a lot of time and money on this bike since I've had it. She isn't mint and is showing signs of her age and mileage, however she is still in fantastic, near original condition. Engine cases are good. Some surface rust on frame - nothing to worry about. A few cracks in plastics here and there. Always gets a good look over by fellow bikers and still looks "modern" 16 years later. She goes well and the engine is a peach. I've got some spares that will come with the bike, like front caliper seals ect. Trip Computer works perfectly. Sounds great with the Arrows on and returns 55MPG. Like I said, really don't want to sell, but I need the use of my friends garage and don't want to antagonise her by taking it over with two bikes. The MOT ran out on 10th June and is currently on SORN. Needs a new battery. UK buyers only please.

The price I'm looking for is £1,800 ono.

If you're interested then please PM me and I will give you my number.

Beautiful bike, if I had room and could justify another bike I'd have it in a heartbeat.

Spokes look better than my month old 2500 miles on the clock 2016 Africa Twin!
