Notable Features and Pricing
RD07: A Thoughtful Evolution
The RD07 model succeeded the earlier RD04 and marked a comprehensive redesign. Honda introduced a new frame and updated bodywork, with a clear focus on improving balance and rideability. One of the most notable changes was lowering the center of gravity, which also brought the seat height down to a more manageable 33.8 inches making it more accessible without compromising its off road capability.
Condition and Features
This particular bike presents very well. The original paint remains intact, with only minor cosmetic wear specifically some scratches on the radiator shrouds as shown in photos while the fuel tank is clean and unmarked.
Mechanically, it’s in strong condition:
Shinko tyres with approximately 60% tread remaining
All electrics functioning as they should
Wheels in excellent shape
The bike has been fully serviced and test ridden, so it’s ready to go.
Dakar Heritage
The Africa Twin name carries serious weight, drawing inspiration from the NXR-750 race bike, which dominated the Paris Dakar Rally with four victories in the late 1980s. That DNA translates into a machine built for endurance, versatility, and real-world adventure.
Inspiration for Adventure
For a glimpse of what these bikes are capable of, check out Adam Riemann’s YouTube channel. He rebuilt his own 1992 Honda XRV750 Africa Twin—nicknamed “The Warhorse”—and rode it around the world, documenting the journey. It’s a testament to the platform’s durability and spirit.
