Honda XLV750R

1984 HONDA XLV750R, first one of these I’ve ever seen, showing 18000km (12,000miles), very clean and original overall, has been painted as a Rothmans Replica and finish a little untidy in places. Starts and sounds superb, original exhausts fitted. One of the original ‘Adventure’ bikes. The XLV750R (Honda type designation: RD01) was Honda’s first dual-sport motorcycle with two non-parallel cylinders. It has an air/oil-cooled V-twin engine with hydraulic valve tappets and a shaft drive. Those two construction features make the XLV a very low maintenance motorcycle. Other technical highlights at the time of introduction were the dry sump lubrication system (with the main frame acting as an oil tank), the three valves per cylinder (two inlet valves / one exhaust valve), the two spark plugs per cylinder and the crankshaft with off-set pins. The bike will be serviced and come with 12 month’s MOT. This bike has been imported from the Continent and will be UK registered on an age related number plate upon sale. The registration transfer paperwork can take 2 – 3 weeks depending on timescales from DVLA.. , White
