1984 Honda XL600R review from United States of America
"Every bike should handle riding over curbs and pedestrians this well"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Cams failed and ate through rocker arms due to the poor top-end lubrication common to these bikes.
Replaced the seat cover.
It was stolen and crashed.
General comments?
I bored it, and now it does second gear wheelies.
Every bike should handle riding over curbs and pedestrians this well.
A must for getting over potholes successfully around Washington DC.
Wooden brakes, but they stop the bike.
