Restoring my iconic Africa Twin 1992 Honda XRV750

The Warhorse returns from a complete strip down! Witness the incredible transformation of the legendary 1992 Honda XRV750 Africa Twin, dubbed the Warhorse.

We meticulously powder-coat the frame, replace worn and broken parts, lubricate and grease every moving component, clean and check every electrical connector, hose and cable mechanism.

To preserve its original glory, we tracked down replacement fiberglass fairings, which were expertly spray painted to match the iconic 1992 RD04 Honda XRV750 Africa Twin colour scheme.

Join us as we prepare for the next epic chapter of Warhorse adventures, straddling this magnificent beast for an unforgettable journey across the Australian Outback. Don't miss out on the excitement and be part of this epic journey.

No engine work?!
Edit: bro that video is sick

Doesn't matter how old your motorcycle was, the most important things is the availability of the spare parts.

Well, that escalated quickly ... so cool to read everyone's excitement for the return of the Warhorse. I got about 20 comment replies in and figured I'd just thank all of you with a few words here. I'm so grateful for the like-minded, passionate global community of riders we're forming here on my channel. And while I do have great relationships with KTM, Yamaha, BMW and so on, it's nice to be completely detached from any kind of manufacturer expectation when creating content with my very own motorcycle.
I can tell everyone is on the same wavelength with this film, because there's very little in question, just genuine appreciation for what the Warhorse is. Thankyou all ... I look forward to crossing paths with you on the trail, or bumping into you at the bar.

Adam.

Ah, the old good Africa Twin XRV-750. The world never thank enough to the designers who created it, to the engineers who build it and to the pilots who flew it over the sand dunes of Africa straight into our hearts.

"The only thing better than buying a new motorcycle isnfinding an old one and fixing it up." Honestly... as the newer bikes are so laden with dealer fix only stuff... i think this is more true than ever before.

Right from the start I was thinking, "I hope he keeps that stitched up screen" and I can't tell you how fkn happy I was to see you put it back on. Legend! I am ridiculously excited to see every episode of where you go with this. Hurry up fkn!

One very important tip for these engines:
Geat a Superpinion front sprocket! These engines have a tendency to strip output shafts like crazy, which results in a very expensive and painful engine overhaul. With time the sprockets become loose and start stripping the splines on the output shaft. especially if the skinny mounting bracket breaks. Your shaft looks in perfect shape so that's not likely to happen soon, but eventually will. I stripped one on my 2001 Transalp 650 this year ( it shares the exact same output shaft and engine, just underbored) which has 95K km on the clock. After reading about the problem, I found out it was more common than you would think. The Superpinion sprockets are a good way of minimising the possibillity of this issue, not only because of the tight tolerances, but also because the mounting brackets are super thick! Look them up, they are not that expensive, and just keep it in mind for the next chain and sprockets set. Cheers!

I love that you kept the old field repaired wind shield, some scars should be kept.

Your videos were so inspiring that you made a 26 years-old boy, buy a 1991 Africa Twin as a gift for himself. Cheers mate!

[jaisreeram]

This guy just single handedly broke some YT video makers "buying an all new one is the most joyful, passionate experience " type of videos. This is what reall passion will drive you.


Well done, and an inspiration brother ⚡️

Watching from America at this moment, I own a 17 I bought new. I lost my left arm in 09 and so happy that Honda has the DCT model. I recently finished the COBDR and most of the TAT on the Honda 450. I wish I could get a auto clutch so I could buy an older AT.

Thank you for another awesome video!

[empiresrikesfat]

Bringing the old Warhorse back to life!

[gqren]

I don’t too often comment on videos, but this one deserves recognition. How easy it would’ve been to just put it on the centre stand and forget about it. This is passion and respect. And so beautifully displayed, at that.

Thank you for your dedication, and for spending so much energy in documenting it along the way.

Good luck with the adventure as well as the new, exciting partnership!

[Heatsauce]

This brought tears to my eye, I'm so gald you used as much of the original part as you could especially the cracked wind screen. She looks great, let her fly. Thanks for the update on her.😀

Im speachless Bro. This is just Pure f....king Greetings from Poland

[zerodegreec]

This April I flew to Germany to purchase a 93 RD07, rode it through Western Europe (NL, B, Fr) and brought it home to Canada. The comment you make Adam, about it being someone else's bike until you have taken it apart is so true. I have not brought it down to the frame (Yet, this winter) but its such a magnificent machine... It is not easy to put it into words but your videos are doing the AT's justice. I cannot stop grinning on this bike. Keep it up, looking forward to the next adventure you post with it.

"...the greatest motorcycle ever made..."
Tears from Italy.
I had a 1990 Africa Twin.
Wonderful work.
He deserves it.

[fabricemaurin]

I am french, 72 years old. I do love my AT 750 type RD07A model 2002 . The best bike among the 30 i ever owned.

[sooyster]

Beautiful Beautiful restoration! And when you put that old patched-up windshield on, I almost cried.

[DirtZen]

How incredible that you found the old girl and brought her back to the glory days. A 15 minute video will never do justice to the amount of love, time and expertise that went into this build. Thank you for taking us along. Can't wait for more videos with the Warhorse, what a beautiful machine. Cheers! 👍✌
