Hondas legendary 400cc Enduro model
Presented in good authentic condition
Recent overhaul, supplied with a V5C
The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. Honda have always tried to offer a bike to suit every need and the XL range of four stroke trail bikes was launched in the early 1970s in answer to the growing demand for dual purpose bikes, available in all capacities from 50cc through to 750cc. The XR models were developed for more serious competition use in Enduros and desert racing in the USA with the 400cc version proving to be a very popular bike due to its typical Honda build quality and reliable Radial Four Valve Combustion RFVC engine.
This XR400 is presented in good original condition and has been given a light restoration by the vendor. Run recently, he has fitted new wheel bearings, pads and discs, chain and sprockets and a new seat cover. Due to other projects and lack of spare time, it still needs some attention to the lights and instrument cluster to finish off before use. Not many XRs will have survived the rigors of competition use and whilst it is now over 20 years old, this bike can still provide an excellent green lane bike or amateur enduro mount. It comes supplied with a current V5C.
