Personally i feel they are overrated, as they were never really the best in class during their time. I feel their slightly elevated price now is just because they are a 2t honda. Don't get me wrong, if you like the bike and want it basically because you want a 315, go for it, but if you have stumbled across it because maybe your budget limits you to an older bike, IMO there are better bikes at a more sensible price than these. The fact you say you are revisiting it, means you had one previously, but its a little unclear what your intentions are. Is it a 2nd bike, or is it going to be your daily driver. Ive a friend who struggled a lot to find gearbox parts for his 315, 5 years ago I had a 315R new in 2004 (last of the final batch) and didn't really get with it, so only kept it a year and bought a 4RT which suited me a lot better and still ride 4RT's 4 Years ago I bought a Yamaha TYZ, in excellent condition as I had always wanted one, but never bought one in the 1990's I love the TYZ and for me it's a far better bike to ride in a Trial than my new 315R ever was, I love riding it and it has a certain classic feel to it, whilst still being a good bike to ride It's been modified a bit (Ohlins rear shock/AJP front caliper and some frame mods to improve the headstock steering angles, plus footrest hangers) and now rides as well as my 4RT, on natural sections Edited March 4, 20224 yr by johnnyboxer
