🏍️ Bike of the Week 🏍️
Honda TLR 200 has been through the workshop and ready for a trials weekend. Service done, fresh fork oil, new clutch fitted, and a new carburettor installed. Properly sorted and ready to work.
Quick history:
The Honda TLR200 landed in the early 1980s as a lightweight, four-stroke trials bike, evolving from the TL125 and drawing from the tough XR200 engine platform. Built around 1983, it was aimed at riders who wanted reliability and control over outright competition performance. With its torquey 195cc air-cooled single, low seat height, and trials-focused geometry, it handled technical terrain with ease while staying approachable. It never ruled top-level competition, but earned a reputation for durability and versatility — now a true cult classic in the trials world.
