Out of the box: Discuss all other Adventure bikes here > Honda XLV750R
Restoration in progress... almost finished the legend!
Two Plugs:
Finally, it happened... the XLV750R on which I have been working for the last 5-6 years (with some delay... started in 2006) is now close to be finished. The engine has run for the very first time... with a red jerry can as temporally fueltank.. and it did run sooo smooth!
A few minor things remain as last final frontier:
- Re-installing the fuel tank and fuel hoses
- Re-installing all the body panels and saddle
- And... carefully run-in the newly reassembled engine, taking it easy for the first 1.000-1.500 km!
I'm planning to have a 'first flight' by the end of this month / early August.
I'm going to make a finall report here as soon as the bike is back on the road.
Hopefully, it will look like this brochure after its completion:
And... like the RF version I already own:
Athanman:
So far so good my dear friend. Looking forward to see your project completed. ;)

After 5 years with lots of delay, today it was the big moment... The '83 Honda XLV750R RD01 is back home and I have done the first miles on it!
Some pics to share, together with my original '85 black Honda XV750R RF:
Enjoy!
