Is there any weak spots on the tlr200s to look out for?
How do you tell a reflex from a trials tlr?
what sort of money would get a good one?

TLR200 has 35mm forks & gold alloy rims with red tank/seat/mudguards
Reflex has thinner 33mm forsk, steel rims & white tank/seat & mudguards.

Weakspots

Wheel rim corrosion on gold rims - look at previous posts - gold rims rot from inside & out.
Noisy top end - from lack of oil changes.
Worn 'splines' on output shaft where sprocket fits - check for movement on sprocket

There are guys out there who know a lot better than me what to look for - have a search through previous posts and you will find reflex & TLR pictures.

Otherwise its a Honda & is built to last not a Gas gas! - just wait on the comments
Then again its going to be 15years old or so & there is bound to be some wear.
