Africa Twin (old model)

Post by stevew » Wed Mar 15, 2017 1:11 pm

Found this on the Honda Owners Club forum. No price or location but thought i'd pop it here just in case.

Hi All,

I have got a XRV 750Y Africa Twin 2003, Black & Gold, it has not been ridden for about a year and has been in my garage as i have brought a new CRF 1000 Africa Twin last year. It does need some TLC but has had a complete referb in 2010 new rims engine overhaul ect, but it will need and new exhaust but been a fantastic bike since i had it in 2004. I'm not going to get time to put into getting back up to where it should be, so this is the reason i'm reluctantly going to sell it, and want to reachout to fellow Honda Owners as i know you will give it the love and attention it needs.

If anyone one is interested please let me know.

The trouble is, you need a bloody stepladder to get on them.

:lol: You aren't alone. that's why my last Harley had to go.

Rode back from the New Forest with my Son, and he went inside the house. A few minutes later he came out again to find out why I hadn't followed him in.

I was still sat on the bike with my knees locked! 8-)

I once got to the toll booth's at Dartford crossing, been riding a long time at night in the rain, and could not move, hands stuck to the bars. Nearly dropped the bike, the lady had seen it all before 'take your time young man'. Was 2000, I was on my first maxi, a Majesty 250. It took a long time to hand over the 30p.
