    1997 rd07a africa twin

    its a sad day but i have decided that its finally time to part company with one of the two beloveds in my life and to be totally honest its going to be cheaper to let the bike go !!!!
    So im offering it out to you guys on the forum first to see if there is any interest.
    Its 1997 rd07a with 47000m on the clock, its tidy but not perfect and has been used but well loved. The output shaft is good and she has recently had new
    chain and sprockets
    braided hoses front and rear and i think i still have the originals to go with it too
    facet fuel pump
    scot oiler
    heated grips
    fairly new conti attack tyres
    a hand built stainless nrp full system exhaust- which is a thing of beauty to hear
    choke plungers converted to metal
    charge light fitted to fairing
    brake pads all round
    forks serviced and 2"spacers fitted to stiffen up the front end
    hagon rear shock
    brand new original honda indicators to replace hideous carbon look crap(front and rear)
    linkage bearings
    steering head bearings and grease nipples fitted
    datataged
    mot and tax untill late oct/nov
    also it has oil and filter change every year no matter what it does
    so if anyone is looking for an honest bike that i can say has never once let me down then give me a shout, as i say , its clean but not perfect and i really dont want to let it go but will do if someone offers me £2500. I will try to post piccies but may not happen.
    If anyone wants to know more then either pm me or give me a bell 07805229530
    cheers rich

    Hi Rich,
    I am interested, looks in good condition for the miles and year. I am tied up with work commitments for the next 2 weeks, so please bear me in mind if she hasn't sold before then. Has she got full service history, how many owners?
    Cheers,
    Mark.

    Re: 1997 rd07a africa twin

    hi mark, cheers for getting in touch, firstly i have cocked up the mileage, its 47000m not 42000m as i put, i have altered it now so i can only apologise to you for that, 15hours at work and cant even remember a number!!!
    it has 7 former keepers and in all honesty i cant speak for how any one of them has kept her as the only service history she came with is a bout five stamps in the honda book. i am a buyers worst nightmare as i dont believe in paying someone to do a job that i can do better myself.
    i have done the valve clearances and balanced the carbs and in my opinion it is cheaper to just do the oil and filters every year and keep your peace of mind. as with everyone, you are more than welcome to come and see her whenever you can but i need her to go so if someone is willing to part with the ticky licky then i will part with the bike.
    hope you understand
    rich
