The XBR500 was in a sense a modern motorcycle influenced by the past. Introduced in 1985, the new machine sought to capture the spirit of the great sporting singles of the past in a modern user-friendly machine. The new model drew heavily on their experience producing four-stroke trail bikes from the XL range, sharing the four radial valve cylinder head layout. The result was an economical engine capable delivering over 50 miles to the gallon and a top speed of 108 mph. The machine's styling was understated and placed the rider "within" the motorcycle.
This 1985 Honda XBR has been owned by the current vendor for the last 12 years and in his ownership it has been the daily machine for errands and the odd bike meet. It has been a great machine that has never let him down. Showing signs of use, but mostly original, it benefits from its original exhaust system, a current V5C, a host of old MOT certificates, receipts for parts, and a sales brochure.
