charlie prescott Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hi Guy's, You "ARE" So right, of course Honda could do it, and a lot easier than you think!! They have a load of there stuff built by Chinese subsidiaries of there's don't they. And I bet somewhere in China, the jigs for a TLR, are sat in the corner of a huge factory. Jialing probably. They just need encouragement to be persuaded to make them. Someone like Comerfords in the 1960s, Could do the same today, or even Honda UK themselves. Regards Charlie.

ishy Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 After the stop no stop debate thought it might be a good topic to revive again, I still think no matter what bike you ride the style of the event is what draws the punter.

charlie prescott Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Hi Guy's. I still agree with my last statment, Honda ,and others could still build a NEW Twinshock, from there China based factories at the right price, New TLR's No problem. And they could be a lot cheaper than a NEW mono bike. Regards Charlie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie prescott Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) Hi Guy, Yes That's what I mean ,just like that bike.This has a Jon Bliss frame? And to buy the tubes £100 max. Wheels and plastics look like they come from a £560 bike and the forks. Engine unit,from one of the cheap mono bikes ,you can buy these units as stand alone too. JH 125 bike parts then ,230 engine, looks like? Yes I have all these parts, when I get time to build the bike up. I also have pit bike hubs £30 each new? Just proves how cheap a bike could be built if there was interest .You do the maths! Perhaps there should be a class for these type of bikes, for the novice first time buyer, and simple sections? I know it has been said before but, we must keep trying. Edit to update. Regards Charlie.
