big john Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) Talking of expence, No one has mentioned the lovely Seeley that is curently on ebay Item number: 120241326557 what a great bike, but what does everyone think of the 'Seeley' is it a bit of an exotic/limited edition or is this a piece of Honda History ?? also what do think this will go for ?? I cannot comment on the condition of any particular motorcycle advertised for sale whether that be on e-bay or elsewhere, however the Seeley Honda Trials 200 (TL200E) produced by Colin Seeley International was indeed sanctioned by Honda UK. Honda Racing Service Centre (RSC, now HRC) provided a fair number of components to allow Seeley to produce the machine. The frames and swinging arms were made in England and a set of "state of the art" Marzocchi forks and yolks were used. A substantial proportion of the completed product was Honda. It of course is a fair arguement, is a Seeley really a Honda, well as it was agreed that a Honda trials bike was too much hassle for Honda to do themselves, why not contract it out to Seeley to do the job for them? I would say it is a worthy component of Honda trials history, can't ignore it! Edited to add: Colin Seeley himself told me last year that the company didn't actually make any money on the sale of the Seeley Honda trials machine, I think the list price was about Edited April 5, 2008 by Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickymicky Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I cant think of a single part which is shared by both bikes. Everything is different. Engine,Frame,Forks Wheels,all completely different. The Seeley was produced 3 or 4 years before the TLR from memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy m Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) The book stayed at # 127. Sold my Seeley recently as I had been looking at it for too long and not riding it so it had to go. I wonder how long before Tommy Sandham does a reprint. Hey BJ if you hear on the grapevine give me a shout so as I can get my copy on the bay before they plummet.

mattylad Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I have on very good authority that a new book about Hondas is well under way. Just have to wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
