November 19, 200619 yr Cheers MT, I've just painted the frame and I'm in the process of putting it all back togethor in the next few days/weeks.The bike is in very good nick for it's age, I can only imagine that this is because the bike has lived it's life on road and not off so to speak, wheels and spokes are in very good condition, rear shocks and fork stantions are also very good, engine sounds sweet.....I've took off the lights and all the unwanted tack.....I'll bang on a few pics of before and after when it's done Hi, just looking at at TLR200 myself thats been brought in from Japan with all the electrics, battery etc still on it. How much trouble did you have in getting rf all the extra weight, did you need to replace the battery with anything? Any help really appreciated.
November 27, 200619 yr This is probably the best value I've found so far... It's an '81 Cota 200 I just bought. Equipped with Fox Shox and several tweaks for serious competition. Hadn't run for years and years, I cleaned the carb and it fired right up, sounds strong. Now even stone cold, starts on first kick. Everything needs work, but for about 48 quid I'm not complaining.
