Overview
1996 Honda Africa Twin RD07 — Clean, Original, and Ready to Ride
If you’re looking for a genuinely tidy example of a legendary adventure bike, this 1996 Africa Twin RD07 deserves attention.

Notable Features and Pricing
Condition & Presentation
Finished in the classic early-’90s paint scheme, the bike retains its factory character. There are a couple of small paint chips consistent with age, but importantly there are no dents in the fuel tank, which is often where these bikes show their history. Overall, it’s a well-preserved machine that hasn’t been heavily modified or abused.
Performance Upgrades
The bike is fitted with a stainless steel performance exhaust from GPR Exhaust Systems. This upgrade significantly improves breathing compared to the restrictive factory muffler, giving the V-twin a more responsive feel and a stronger exhaust note without compromising reliability.
Mechanical Condition
Mechanically, the bike starts, runs, and rides exactly as it should. It has been fully serviced and test ridden, with recent maintenance including:
New chain and sprockets
Near new Dunlop tyres (approximately 90% tread)
It also comes complete with the owner’s manual.
Heritage & Provenance
The Africa Twin lineage traces directly back to Honda’s Dakar racing success. The production model was inspired by the factory race bike that dominated the Paris-Dakar Rally, winning four times in the late 1980s.
This particular generation has also gained cult status among enthusiasts, helped in part by riders like Adam Riemann, who rebuilt and rode his own Africa Twin—nicknamed the “Warhorse”—across multiple continents, showcasing the platform’s durability and capability.
Rarity in Australia
An important note for collectors: this RD07 model was not officially sold in Australia by Honda, making clean imported examples like this increasingly desirable among adventure and vintage motorcycle enthusiasts.
