1989 Honda xrv650 Africa Twin with only 1 mile on the odometer. This bike is in museum quality condition. This is a very rare first generation Africa Twin, which was only produced for two years in the xrv650 version, and was never imported to the United States. The Honda xrv650 is historically a very important adventure touring motorcycle. Honda won the Paris Dakar Race four years in a row in the 80s with the race spec Africa Twin nxr750; upon their successful four wins Honda decided to release a consumer market version of their race bike which was released in 1988 as the xrv650 Africa Twin. The Africa twin is possibly the most reliable, versatile and proven adventure touring motorcycle ever produced during the 80s. The history of the Africa twin and its origins is a story about the perfect timing of overland rallies, business and technical brilliance. This particular Honda xrv650 Africa Twin was never started and has never had fuel put into the fuel tank. This bike has only 1 mile on the odometer, and is still in all original factory condition, and was beautifully preserved.
BODY:
The body work is in perfect condition; there are no paint flaws or cracks on any of the panels. The frame has the original white paint in perfect condition. All of the plastic and metal parts are in great conditioned. The bike still has the original tires and they are in good condition with no major cracks on the tires. The inside of the gas tank is perfect and still has the fresh machine oil smell since no fuel has ever been in the tank. basically this bike looks like a brand new bike at the dealer ship back in 1989.
MECHANICAL:
This bike never had any fuel in the tank or carburetors so it was never started. I did however check the engine oil, lubed the cylinders and turned the engine by a wrench to make sure the engine spins freely. I also checked the electrical system to make sure everything works as it should. The brakes were also tested and work as they should. All motorcycle checks were performed by an authorized inspector!
