Hi all out there,just wondered if anybody knows any info on dating my honda seeley tl200.It is a bit of a mystery what year it is ,and what exactly is the model,i assume it is a tl200,as engine says RS200,and it looks like an early frame.But frame no is in the 1100 area,ie sht1100,so if anybody knows of a web site or book that can help i would be very grateful,keep ridin,revandgo. :

Many thanks john,so who would have built the bike,are you saying seeley made the frame,but honda built the bike,any more info would be much appreciated,thanks gary.

Not much to add there , John. Early frames were weak, breaking where the square tube meets the headstock. This was addressed on later frames with an extra plate on the square tube under the headstock. At the same time they beefed up the rather thin plates on the frame that the swinging arm goes through. A lovely little bike , with lots of character!
