The Warhorse returns from a complete strip down! Witness the incredible transformation of the legendary 1992 Honda XRV750 Africa Twin, dubbed the Warhorse.
We meticulously powder-coat the frame, replace worn and broken parts, lubricate and grease every moving component, clean and check every electrical connector, hose and cable mechanism.
To preserve its original glory, we tracked down replacement fiberglass fairings, which were expertly spray painted to match the iconic 1992 RD04 Honda XRV750 Africa Twin colour scheme.
Join us as we prepare for the next epic chapter of Warhorse adventures, straddling this magnificent beast for an unforgettable journey across the Australian Outback. Don't miss out on the excitement and be part of this epic journey.

That's up next ... I wanted to ride the ol' girl around Australia in original form first. And we have now done exactly that - she has proven herself as the ultimate ADV legend, and so now I will treat her to a top-end rebuild, which she probably doesn't need but to this day I will never know how many km's she's actually done. The previous owner said they had to fix speedo drive when they purchased her from previous owner. She had 54'000km on the clock when I bought her but who knows, that should probably be more like 154'000km ... ? It doesn't matter, everyone will soon get to see inside the beating heart of the Warhorse!

Well, that escalated quickly ... so cool to read everyone's excitement for the return of the Warhorse. I got about 20 comment replies in and figured I'd just thank all of you with a few words here. I'm so grateful for the like-minded, passionate global community of riders we're forming here on my channel. And while I do have great relationships with KTM, Yamaha, BMW and so on, it's nice to be completely detached from any kind of manufacturer expectation when creating content with my very own motorcycle. I can tell everyone is on the same wavelength with this film, because there's very little in question, just genuine appreciation for what the Warhorse is. Thankyou all ... I look forward to crossing paths with you on the trail, or bumping into you at the bar. Adam.

Great video! recently got myself a 99 Honda Transalp (my dream bike) to adjust for some long distance adventure. I have a question about mods though, when setting up a bike for offroad, do you get wide fotpegs and a longer gear sticks to fit enduro boots to shift and break, or are you suppose to be able to ride the beauty on stock gear?

One very important tip for these engines: Geat a Superpinion front sprocket! These engines have a tendency to strip output shafts like crazy, which results in a very expensive and painful engine overhaul. With time the sprockets become loose and start stripping the splines on the output shaft. especially if the skinny mounting bracket breaks. Your shaft looks in perfect shape so that's not likely to happen soon, but eventually will. I stripped one on my 2001 Transalp 650 this year ( it shares the exact same output shaft and engine, just underbored) which has 95K km on the clock. After reading about the problem, I found out it was more common than you would think. The Superpinion sprockets are a good way of minimising the possibillity of this issue, not only because of the tight tolerances, but also because the mounting brackets are super thick! Look them up, they are not that expensive, and just keep it in mind for the next chain and sprockets set. Cheers!

"Every bolt you turn the bike becomes part of you" With every bolt comes a story of its history before you, owners, mechanics, mishaps, repairs and miles. Every fix of a problem when done properly gives you more faith in the old steed, more understanding and more depth that these machines are not just metal and bolts, rather the facilitators of our life's adventures, stories and triumphs. For the lucky few, we transcend being riders of bikes and become one, able to will our friends home when damaged, able to heal wounds with time and patience and grow as the caretakers of these wonderful parts of history. Equally our steeds heal us, taking us to soul enriching places and reminding us to live in the moment. Enormous love for your videos, very few can capture the passion of being born with the two wheel addiction as well as you do good sir.

The progression of taking an old bike and making it your new bike is always reward, albeit sometimes heart breaking in the process. Restored my 98 cr250 front to back and did the engine work myself. Unfortunately, doing the engine work myself resulted in a few big errors which ultimate caused the left side case to literally break in half on it's first ride. That happened to be on my birthday as well. What a gift, I actually cried after I got home for a moment. Thankfully my suspension guy was there to give me the number of a friend of his who hooked me up and got the engine sorted right, $250 in labor the $700 worth of parts. Still can't thank that guy enough. When I got that bike started and rode it for the first time, I was in heaven. Now i'm in the process of doing a frame up 95 cr250. The engine is strong this time so i'm gonna leave it be until I need to send it out, haha.

Looking for a KTM950 ADV S now to replace the Super Tenere. To rebuild, find parts, spanner and then ride these older bikes is just a joy. Have bought new before, the research and buying is a good buzz, but a year down the track I just feel a little empty.

Amazing…. In awe. My Favourite bit? The zip tie sewn together windscreen. Just so impressive the whole project and video. Thx

Rebuilt my XR650L this past winter and doing the final tuning after dragging it our of my barn after 15 years. It’s a pig but it’s my pig. Thanks for the great videos Adam!

An hour ago arrived back home from a proper ride. Gave the lady (XRV 750 Africa Twin RD07) an oil change with filter myself. This is the way.

My motorcycles have taken me places I’ve never imagined. All of them mean a lot to me. I don’t let any of them go even though technology overtakes us. That’s commitment.

I literally gave this video a stand ovation in my living room. What a journey this bike is taking us all on. You’re absolutely right. Brining an old bike back is a spiritual journey. The machine becomes an extension of who you are. I think I can confidently say that everyone here is waiting for the future of the warhorse.

I love that you used the old patched windshield. Nice work bro. She looks fantastic

Man I've been subscribed since the wheeling in front of the pyramids. This has been my favorite series so far. Can't wait to see the war horse charge out through Australia

I just bought my first ever rd04 1991 Afrika Twin with white, red and blue colours. I couldnt be more exited! Your videos with this bike made me want one and now I have it. Thank you for inspiration, I'm so in love with my bike!

My favourite shot was standing by the tent in the dark as the huge cruise liner went past, obvious to the adventure

The war horse looks fantastic. Great job well done. There are many adventures left on that bike without a doubt.

seeing the windshield come out was my favorite shot. 2nd favorite was the waterborne gas can. Like an IV dripping life back into the Warhoarse

Absolutely love the fact that you reused the damaged screen.

Sheesh that pipe sounds so good. Your film making and adventures are super inspiring, can't wait to see more and I agree, there's nothing more enjoyable than taking something old, used and forgotten and giving it new life and making it your own.

Love every second of the Warhorse story. Thank you for sharing this--inspires me to turn a wrench more than I otherwise would.

Definitely not up to the scale of the AT but I've spent the last year or so building up a 1999 Suzuki DR350 that I'm very proud of. Did all of it on my own and learned as I went, from full race tech goldvalce rebuild to converting from AC to DC...it is a dirt model.. full LED lighting including off-road lighting, lowered footpegs, raised bars, new seat, and a light adventure/dual sport tank and rear bag setup. Came off a brand new Beta 300 I had up until last year but honestly love riding what I've built. I've enjoyed watching every one of the videos in this series. Thank you!!

Thanks for the great video, I really enjoyed watching this. Wish it was longer! The adventures across Australia are going to be epic. It is so satisfying to work on a bike and improve it, and make it your own. I totally agree with what you said in that video. Please keep the content coming!

If the warhorse had a voice, she would shout on top of her carburetor and say thanks for bringing me back to the world!! Im pretty sure she doesn't miss the shed. Writing with puffy eyes!
