I've heard they were heavy and sluggish but damn they were pretty.

It has a drum rear, I thought 87 were both disc front and rear.

Another over priced Honda, were they ever that good???...I see the guy with the twinshock is still trying to get 6.5k for it in another ongoing auction

Well spotted Ishy and 100% correct 1987 twin disc model - front & rear

Looks good in the picture.

It says in the ad the front end is off a later Mont

Yeah but it has still got a drum on the back, it should be a disk if it was what he says it is.

The 87 model had drums F&R - I think it was the pink one. 88 was the first to have disc brakes. Nice touch putting Mont forks on it though.

[KevRTL]

Montesaman you know your stuff.

The 1987 Honda RTL model was pink and had front and rear drum brakes.

But the Rothmans colours are just the business and really sets these bikes off

The first twin disc model was 1988 and I have one

If you read the sale it includes the original front forks and drum front wheel which can be swopped over in 10 mins

Trickey beggars to ride.
See, at the time there were produced the Trials job was changing.

Average bod would be better of with a TY 250
But in the right hands a proper tool

'Pretty' too as Dan said.

Plus a nice piece of Jap engineering

It's been on ebay for ages now, has it ever occured to him that he might be asking a tad too much for it??
