I had a VT400 for quite a while. Sleeved version of the VT500. The Honda V Twins were lovely to ride. Laid mine down a few times though, still managed loads of flat out runs to Portsmouth and back in all weathers.
One of my neighbours had an Africa Twin but he'd had the VT500 before. He gave me the workshop manual for the Vt500, pretty sure I still have it. There's certainly some family similarities between the VT's and the Africa. Maybe less so with the 750's.
