Honda TLR description
This little Reflex is a solid bike, but rough around the edges. This one is a 1986 model. Just a light-weight knock-around 4-stroke trail bike.
Currently starts and runs well, but is missing an exhaust pipe from the cylinder head back. I have the original header exhaust pipe, but the attaching flange has broken off. Might be able to repair it and be in business, but maybe not. I'm really not sure about all of that. Seat has a hole or two in it, missing a side cover, looks like someone might have used vacuum line instead of fuel line at some point, front tire seems to have a slow leak. Battery is older, but bike starts up and runs just fine. Front fender is broken at the rear. Missing a few attachment bolts for the rear rack/seat. Decompression lever is missing and at some point the PO rigged a wire as a pull for that - but the bike starts just fine as is. It's only a 200cc bike; the compression isn't really an issue. Tires have plenty of tread, but look to be older and may even be original. Not sure how old they are, but they'd ride for a while I imagine. I don't have a title on this bike, but "no title" isn't an option on eBay - so I've clicked "salvage". I'll make sure you get a detailed bill of sale to go with the bike. She's a project - no doubt. Tried to price it accordingly. Feel free to phone me up directly if you'd prefer to chat about the bike in person; my cell is 970/778.6061. I'm in western Colorado. |

NR750 owners should require approval
Mon, 14 Jun 2010Words can't express the absolute disbelief of this strangely attired guy trying to ride one of the rarest motorcycles every to grace tarmac. But this clip descends in to absurdity when the rider fumbles setting off on the Honda NR750 and drops the oval-pistoned beauty on its side. Did he stall it or is there a disc lock hidden within the pixilated video?
Bahrain track days
Tue, 17 Dec 2013A few months ago, expat (and ex racer) John Beddall made contact to ask if I fancied doing some track day instruction out in Bahrain. After thinking about it for two seconds, flights were booked and a plan was put in place to look after around forty riders for a day at the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC). Young Taylor Mac was also recruited to look after any tasty riders that I couldn’t deal with The Brits out there love their bikes, however, quite a few locals also turned up plus a few others from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar. Most were on high end Superbikes, like S1000s, Panigales and RSV4s but there was also a healthy number R6s and new 675Rs. Although this fabulous Hermann Tilke designed circuit is around ten years old incredibly it has never hosted a bike race. The highlight of the year there is F1 but being owned by the Bahrainian Royal family, there is no desperate need for the circuit to operate as a profitable business. The track reminded me of Qatar but much more interesting as some great undulations have been built into its desert location. We shared the track with Supercars on the day (20mins on/20mins off) and as you might imagine it was betty swollocks for seven hours in the 30 plus temperatures. As usual there was a few offs with poor old RS1000 Aprilia mounted Andy breaking his femur early in the day. Two other buddies appeared to swap bikes mid air in another incident but fortunately escaped unhurt.In the evening everyone stayed for an al fresco dinner in the paddock with the craic going on for hours as the Fosters kept flowing. All in all it was a brilliant trip and it has left me thinking there could be cost effective ways of getting Brits out there for track days next winter. I'll keep you posted.Cape Town next to make my racing comeback at the Killarney 8 hour on a CBR150 Honda. Hopefully I can manage the beast, I'll post a full report next week.
Another Cruiser?
Sun, 09 Nov 2008In a county gone mad with cruisers, from outrageous T.V. customs to 250cc Honda Rebels, the cruiser is the largest segment of the American motorcycle market. Interesting then, that despite a seeming glut in the cruiser supply, and receding sales figures from major OEMs in the past year, that new cruiser models keep coming.
