SailRedemption 133 Posted July 19, 2023 This is a thread for sharing what you recently bought or received. Doesn't have to be Honda or ATV related for that matter! If you got something cool let's hear and see about it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SailRedemption 133 Posted July 19, 2023 I recently, right before I came to work, picked up this Honda rarity. It's a 1989 Honda XL600V Transalp locally from a gentleman that had hundreds of old motorcycles from the 70s and 80s. He used to have a moto shop and retired and sold most of his stock parts to David Silver of David Silver Spares. I plan on doing a portion of the Trans American Trail with a buddy of mine who will start in CA and come east in Sept. I'm giving it a refresh with new bearings and fork seals, fluids, etc. Anyways here it is! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spock 42 Posted July 19, 2023 Those are cool bikes, good find! I got to try out one of those when they were new in the mid-80's. The shop I worked at was a Honda dealership in Vancouver, BC that provided bikes for the TV/movie business active around there. I think the show it was used on could have been MacGyver, they beat on those bikes pretty hard, even doing some scary jumps I heard, haha! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SailRedemption 133 Posted July 19, 2023 That's cool! Yes it's definitely unique and has style in my opinion. Only think better is the Honda XR650v Africa twin. Really neat bike too. They are almost identical,but the AT is a little more off-road than the TA but not that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spock 42 Posted July 19, 2023 Pretty impressive machines, a friend owns one of the new 1000 models - it's more of a street bike that's super comfy than an off roader. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted August 14, 2023 Ha! Purdy slick ideer..... Um..... This don't belong here cuz it's not a purchase, but is new... Well..... Anyways... Here's also a better loseup of the hairline crack .... Like before... Never even heard of this happening... Ifs it's due to the quality of county water.... I can see why it corroded... Which reminds me filter check time.... And here's that crack.... Deltas sending me a brand new complete replacement... I can't say enough good things about customer support.
