Honda XRV750 Africa Twin (1989-2003)

Big trail bike you really can take off road. The Honda XRV750 Africa Twin was one of the first Japanese monster trail / desert rally bikes and remains one of the best.

Running preproduction prototypes of your new car at the Nürburgring has become as de rigeur for auto manufacturers as putting an engine under the hood and a patch of rubber at each corner.

"No worries," I thought, forgetting what exactly I was driving, "I'll just get on the power and get it straightened out."
