Take a look: You need to take more than one look at this Honda TLR250
By John Dickinson on 11th Jul 18
French Honda trials enthusiast Olivier Barjon made the trip over to England for the recent Bultaco Revival Nostalgia trial along with pal Jean Caillou, both Honda mounted.
Olivier has an enviable collection of Honda trials bikes and chose this understated model to bring to Cumbria. On first glance it is a nicely prepped TLR250 but it is a little bit more than that.
Olivier tells us that the frame is actually just about the only TLR250 part!
The engine is actually a limited edition Honda RSC unit that breathes through a special exhaust. There are many Mitani accessories and the swinging arm is aluminium as is the special exhaust.
You can also spot the neatly mounted oil cooler that points to something a bit special. Olivier says that while it might not draw many second glances, it is a real nice bike to ride...
