Honda XLV 750
The Honda XLV750R was only in production for a few years, however it provided the basis and was the forerunner of the Transalp and Africa twin. The XLV750R was sold in Europe from 1983 -1986 The HONDA XLV 750 R has been sold from 1983 to 1986, as RD 01 type, as RD version first, presented in 'Salon de la Moto' in Paris in October 1982, and sold from July 1983, in RF version next, after some mechanical and aspect modifications, and sold from February 1985. The major difference between the two versions is the
painting , the RD version est 'rather flashy' in three colors : blue, white,
red, while the RF version is 'rather invisible' en two colors :
black + red or black + grey. In fact, the last bikes in RD version sold at
the beginning of 1985 have received some of the modifications
Why is it we always want what we
can't have? With the '85 riding season in full swing, our shop is literally
overflowing with high-tech two-wheelers, all of them highly desirable to a moto-maniac
like myself. The guy in the Toyota truck
enlightened me. When he wasn't pacing alongside, staring in open-mouthed
disbelief, he was giving me a vigorous thumbs-up. He wasn't the only one. The
radical look of the XLV was turning heads in rapid succession. I began to
imagine myself touring rural European countryside, looking positively
indestructible aboard the big Honda. So what if it's a little uncomfortable?
Honda's intention was to imitate the look of the bikes that race from Paris,
France, to Dakar, Africa, over a 6,500-mile on-and-off road route that requires
barrel-sized gas tanks and the raw courage of a Viking.
The rear shock absorber has a
remote two-position damping adjuster-one position for street and the other for
dirt that helps the rear end cope with the additional bumpiness of off-road
riding. Source youngie.com
