Honda TL-250

You are looking at one of the finest Honda TL-250's anywhere. The TL-250 was made for two years only. 1975 and 1976.   It was in the height of the interest in Trials riding.   Honda made a TL-125 for four years (1973-1976). but made the TL-250 for just two years. As with all 1976 TL-250 models. this bike is silver and "Shiny Orange" as the accent livery.   It is powered by a 248cc four-stroke motor with a rather modest 16 hp at 8. 00 rpm.   However. this bike is all about detail and finesse.   Its five-speed transmission is very unique to this motor.   The first three gears are very low and you really do not amount to much speed until you shift to fourth and fifth gears.   It is a wonderful "trials" bike and a wonderful "trail" riding bike as well.  About this bike  . . .  I purchased this Honda six years ago at the Mid-America motorcycle auction in Las Vegas.   What I clearly knew at that time is the detail and high level of attention that this TL-250 received in its restoration is among the best I have ever seen on anything. What I found out after my purchase and thru my visit with the owner/restorer was a resounding validation of my observations. For respect of privacy. I will not mention by name the owner/restorer. but certainly will do so when this bike sells to a new owner. Anyway. living in Colorado. this gentleman purchased a TL-250 brand new in the mid-70's and has been in love with them since.   He knows the TL-250 to the very last detail and is by nature and livelihood a craftsman.   With his knowledge and his skill. this gentleman must clearly be the foremost restorer of the Honda TL-250 model anywhere (my observation). With this bike comes a seven page overview description of the Honda TL-250. written by this gentleman. More impressively  .  there is an additional seven page description with a cover page of "Restoration Details" on this particular bike (vin: 3404). written by the same man.   This includes a complete overview of all the restoration work done AND every part and part number of any needed part that was used.   The paper detail that goes with this bike is just as impressive as the restoration. Of course. included is an owners manual as well as a shop manual. To top it off. this bike comes with a WA State title.   Very seldom will a purchaser have a TL with a title. If you have a keen interest in the Honda TL-250. or just a collector or a connoisseur of fine machinery. a serious look at this offering is strongly advised. Thank you !As a side note. I am selling my personal collection of 10 outstanding bikes  -  all in very high end condition.  Feel free to browse my other listings.
