Honda Africa Twin XRV650 Ride & Chat

Riding some really nice twisty roads whilst discussing what I intend to do to the Honda Africa Twin XRV650 RD03 that was built by HRC in the late 1980s, this motorcycle defined the original 'Adventure Bike' and has become a bit of a cult classic with links to the Paris Dakar rally in its glorious heyday, but it still makes a great 'Big Trailie' bike that is an extremely capable all-rounder, not bad for a bike that is almost 35 years old...

Watch out for a full video giving a detailed overview of this bike, along with some of the others that are sitting in the barn, and I hope to cover some of the steps that are discussed in the video, restoring the bike back to its mechanical best when I get a chance.
