Tlr250r

So how many folks know anything about this 1986 Honda air cooled 244 cc 4 stroke, six speed box monoshock bike?

My pages are here:-

I'm curious about how many were made and where they are? I guess there are about 40 now in the UK. I've yet to see and hear for sure if there is a 1987 H model too. She weighs about the same as an RTL, which I've ridden. Mine is far more forgiving though and a joy to ride. The torque curve is sooo flat. Great! I have a history from Ian Smith's Motorcycle Reports on TLs's and RTL300s etc including and out of interest Shinja Kazama's ride on a TL230R up Everest in 1983 to the southern column of Pumo Ri at 23,435 ft. Further up than Annie Seel (who I rode with in Morocco) who reached Mt Everest North face

5305 m on August 17-2003. See http://www.rallyprincess.com/annie_en.html half way down page.

Only TL history I may be able to get that isn't in the public domain as such would be from Marland Whaley who I haven't seen for years from the days when I rode my Beamish with him in California. Back then he was world No 10 and US number one just after his factory Honda days. He was riding a Mont when I was there.

Any other TLR (G and H model) history/info appreciated.
