have you seen the tl 305 that is on lewisport

were these bikes works or just a kit

it's a shame that it's in the usa because it could be hard getting to sweden

good price though $1650

Those kits still come up for sale on e-bay too, usually in the US or Australia.

Those TL Hondas are nice looking bikes but bloody hell they're heavy

Sorry to evangelise again but I think the TL250 is a good handling trials bike that gets amazing traction, I will concede tho' that thay are heavy and the rider will have to work harder than anyone else in the trial!.

Putting my money where my mouth is my TL is staying in the garage tommorow and I'm using a Fantic!!

Powroll do still do the pistons as a straight bore job, mine has an earlier 280 Powroll piston which works well, I have heard the 305 takes away alot of the bottom end smoothness.

got me a TLR250, in real good shape except some dents in the tank for

Met a bloke at a trail a few weeks agao with TL125 )different I know) who had bought it in a box for

I thought when riding a TL250 just how similar it was to a pre-65 bike I had at around the same time.

Same here. Some interesting comparisons were made to my existing TL-250 when I finished my Ariel Ht5 project. Ironically, at 225 lbs the "Millerized" Ariel came in just lighter then the TL!

The main real difference is that the Ariel competes against other great lumps of machinery in the pre-65 class while the TL competed against TYs, Bultacos and SWM's in the "twinshock" class! Incredibly, the Honda could hold it's own in the right type of event...to a point.

It is still in good conditions, isn't it. Might re-condition the dents at the tank. I rode this bike in 250cc and competed with other Japanese twin shocks, OSSA, Bultaco & Cota at my area. A good pulling bike.

It did not feel that heavy comparing to those 2 stroke twin shocks, but a no good feeling of engine stop while you accelerate & de-accelarate.

i had a go on a honda tl 250 at sports equipe m/c,s in northwich when the great jack mathews had the shop,i think about 1976?.i had an ossa mk11 at the time,their was no comparison and if i remember the price for the honda was alot more than a tl 250.
