In 1986, Honda offered two trials machines to the public. The “RTL” was built by HRC and was the version for riders who were looking to compete and didn’t mind spending plenty in the process. But Honda also offered the “TLR”, which was the easier to buy (and easier to ride) option. The latter was solely built for the 1986 model year, though some leftovers were sold as ’87s.
The TLR200 (also known as the Reflex) used a XR200 engine (194cc 4-stroke producing 13.4 hp) but obviously in a different frame. It came with lights and (unlike most trials bikes) an actual seat so that it could be street legal in the US – it also had a street legal exhaust. The Reflex featured 33mm forks, a 6-speed transmission, and a wet weight of 198 pounds.
This example (VIN: JH2MD0918GK000738) has 2,200 miles and it’s offered on a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name. It’s got a few new parts and some rock chips/scratches from use but overall it looks pretty good. It’s still got the original grips and while it has new tubes/tires, the seller will include the original tires if you wish. A recent service included a new battery, spark plug, fork seals, exhaust gasket, chain, chain slider, and an oil change/carb clean.
