81 Yamaha XV 920 RH discussion forum:20 years of ownership |

| I have found my XV920RH to be stone reliable. An easy bike to ride, up to 8/10ths. Very good handling, for a sport touring bike. A bit short of breath at higher rpm, flexible powerband below 5500 rpm. Routine maintenance isn´t too bad. I haven´t had the need to take the bike to a shop for "professional" service yet (19,000 mi). Primative by contemporary standards,but,it does what´s expected of it and it´s enjoyable to ride. A drawback is that because of the rareness of the VX920RHs,in the U.S., finding parts(tail light lens, exhaust system and chain boots) will be very difficult,if and when I need them. I am an avid mountain biker, you won´t believe where I have been able to go on the ZXV920RH, on several occasions. Long travel (120mm each end), very adjustable suspension and flexible engine make me wonder what dual purpose tires would do for the bike. |
