Out of my memory (I disconnected from the TA world in May 2004  ), I think it had a certain popularity in Greece.

I wasn't aware that this meant-for-Japan version had been sold in any other European country. 

Greetings,

It was never sold in The Netherlands, but I know about the existence. Two members of the Dutch Transalpclub drove two XL400V's from Japan over land back home to Amsterdam.

That's a great link for the history of the bike, especially the description of the main points of difference between the model series.

I recently got a XL400V in very bad shape and I am tring to get her back into life again. I am however going to install an XL 650 V engine.


Who has attempted such to share their experience

Thanks
