1985 Honda XL600R review from Canada
"The best big bore dualie on the market. Period"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Cracked stator, carbs, rubber wheel dampeners, chain, valves.
General comments?
Bike threw a chain, damaged the stator (slowly).
Exhaust valve burnt on me.
All-in all a very good bike; way ahead of its time.
