"As New" 2003 Honda XR400R Comes Out of Storage

In 2014, a 2003 Honda XR400R came up for sale. The unusual bike had a dozen hours of actual use since new. Told it had fuel stabilizer in the tank, we did not start the bike, drained the carburetor bowl and put the motorcycle in safe, dry storage. Our youngest son, Jacob, was busy with his growing family and career. Nine years passed. This video is the Honda XR400R coming out of storage to be run for the first time.
