Take a look: Ian Ridley's Honda

Trials Take A Look

You wont find many of these bikes around and thats because theres only one!

This is a special Honda RTL twinshock built by Mark Seward Racing (MRS) for northern enthusiast Ian Ridley. Mark operates from his Cornish base providing a bespoke service in trials machinery and has an impressive CV in building tasty machines.

The Honda RTL is a pretty exclusive beast anyway and even more rare in this form. Mark has built a custom frame (with SWM influence) and steel tube swinging arm - into which has been slotted the air-cooled overhead cam motor.

The RTL front end has been bolted in with drum brakes front and rear. The custom exhaust system really sets the bike off as does the one-off tank unit and of course the colour system.

Ian wanted a unique machine that rides as well as it looks and MRS have duly delivered...
