Hey there, This is my bike, imported from the US in 1992:   I bought it a couple of weeks ago for only $1072,- and it has about 18k+ miles on it.  The fairing, screen, foot peg and front brakelever are slightly damaged  |

Thank you very much! Holland is what I call home  It has about 16k+ miles on it. It is not as good looking as it looks on the pic. But that's oke. Damage happens when you ride it. But that's gonna take a while, because I don't have my motorcycle license yet.... But that won't take to long  |

You stole it if it's in good shape. Apparently RWB 700S's are popular in Holland, OhCrap has one too.

To me this version is the best looking of all.
They are very hard to find, especially with low mileage.
Most bikes are Black/Red.

Wasn't the RWB also known as the 'Rothman' model in Europe?

Not officially.
But the colors do match the Rothmans colors.
I believe Rothmans started a sponsorship for the works Honda Team in 1985.
That's why Honda made the 1986 rwb edition. (I think)

Yeah baby yeah! I passed my theoretical exam for my motorcycle license! It's a test with 50 questions and I only made 3 mistakes! (you're allowed to make 6 mistakes)  Example:    |

Well... Next week there's the Lowlands festival.
Right after that I'm going to Russia for 2 weeks.
Then I'll have a week off (vacation's are tiring, lol)
And then I'm going to Chicago for a week.
And then, if I can't find work (I work freelance), I'll have time to start with "vehicle control" lessons and do that exam.
Immediately followed by "Traffic participation" and the exam as well.

Unless you know its history, I would change all fluids. Engine oil- 10w40 recommended in the manual (many here use 15w40), Fork oil- ATF recommended by the manual. Brake and clutch fluid- dot 3 brake fluid. rear end oil- I believe 80w90 is recommended.
