perce Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Looks tidy. I had one of these new in 1981, pulled my arms out & had the turning circle of a super tanker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I had a new TLR250 in Feb 86,that had very good brakes,pretty good when wet too. Shame the engine fell apart after 22 trials... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm as jon said the Hondas were good & the grimecas on the fantics/beta etc weren't bad though not like the Hondas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, had a brand new 241 Clubman - the mono with drums in 1987. Brakes were fine when dry,rubbish in the wet... Big end went on that after 18 months.Have never had any luck with new bikes,bought a well abused Yam TY250R after that - couldn't break it ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
