Extensive restoration and maintenance by the vendor
Low mileage motorbike with documented history
The Plus
Here's a bike that pioneered the dual-sport genre, equally at home on and off-road, and made every journey as exciting as the Dakar. The Honda XL600 is an icon of the 80s, evoking the spirit of adventure like no other motorbike before or since.
The 600LM was the final version, available from 1985 and equipped with a larger fuel tank - for longer off-road excursions - and an electric starter.
Just looking at this 600LM conjures up images of the Dakar and journeys where roads don't exist. This is a very low mileage bike - with a documented history - and has benefited from extensive servicing and maintenance by the vendor.
The result is a motorbike in very good condition. It is, appreciably, as good as new, with the exception of a stainless steel exhaust. Wherever the road takes you, this magnificent bike is ready to take you there.
