knobbyrtx212

Just found some more info' suggesting it may be British ! Now I'm really confused ! "They were designed and assembled in Britain, from parts manufacturedin Belarus, Taiwan, Japan, U.K., Germany, India, and Latvia. They made both twinshock and mono/disc brake bikes." "They are definitely British but never seem to have caught on." "I found a website the other day for RTX, it was an american importer of these British bikes, never heard of them before." Still need more info' If anyone know's anything. Nick.

I found it here:- http://www.bikerenews.com/Links/Motorcycle...ufacturers.html

I found this little snippet whilst trying to find some info' - "RTX Motorcycles - Designed and developed in England as a leisure bike, the RTX has quickly acquired a loyal following as a low cost, reliable, fun motorcycle. While best known for their Trials bikes, RTX also produces models for Enduro and Moto-Cross in both a 125cc and 212cc." So....................they are British. And I guess this was written a few years ago. I would love to know if the frame is british !!! Please, maybe someone know's of a person who has worked on these bikes, someone who has saved manuals, or service data, specifications................. Thanks, Nick.

Thanks for your information "r2wtrials". Looks like I'm Going to be busy this winter, turning the RTX into a Lampkin beating machine. :-) For a moment you nearly described ME - "terrible, heavy, tall, no power and crap brakes" :-) My shopping list is growing, FAST:- Honda 125 engine, Carb, Ign' etc, Disc brake front end, The good thing is when you see me performing like a trials god, you will know it's all rider skill, not the machine. Only kidding, but at least I can blame the bike every time I fall off, usually every ten minute's. Seriously, thank's for all the info' so far, keep it coming, every bit is useful to me. I'm starting to see why there is hardly any info' on the web now. No point in contacting John Bliss then if he does not build them !

Thanks Nigel, much appreciated, I've found an address and telephone number for them, Cotswold Motorcycles Unit 9 Beaumont Business Centre Beaumont Close Beaumont Rd Ind Est Banbury Oxon OX16 1TN Tel: 01295 276286 so I'll give them a try, when I locate the fault. (I've not found a website yet for them). If I have no luck with spare parts, I'll do as "PETEDAD" did, and fit a Honda cg125 engine, I like that idea, so if you read this "PETEDAD" would you consider letting me in on any secrets in doing the transplant, any hints you may have, and a picture or two would be great, I would love to see how it look's. Thanks in advance. (And I too will have a RTX212 engine for sale.) If anyone else has any further information on the RTX212, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Nick.

Hi there, Having been interested in the RTX212 for a while I eventualy have gone and bought one, I've not seen it yet, but I've bought it as a non-runner. I would appreciate any information on these bikes, and possibly somewhere I can get spares. Does anyone know if they are points ignition, or C.D.I. Thanks in advance. Nick.
