Then there were two!

 Got lucky again this month and found another rare and unusual bike from the eighties.

This is the 1986 Honda fat cat TR200.



The mad eighties strikes again! 

Only made for two years these and the Yamaha Bw bikes represent a time when anything was a good idea...... Sort of.... Most of the time.

Here's my bike.




My winter projects are building up, better get cracking!

Yamaha BW350 big wheel.

 Found this seriously rare bike couple of weeks back.

This is the 350 engine version and is almost complete except for the generator coils (please get in touch if you have these! Lol).

Full nut n' bolt restoration and road registration intended, my winter project is here.

They only made these beauties for two years 1987 and 1988, they also came in a 200cc and and an 80cc.

Should look like this ....



Mine looks like this ....

V-twin delight

 Picked a 1999 Honda transalp 600 couple of weeks ago with only 1700 miles on it.

Poor thing spent some years outside.....




Its 50th anniversary model apparently, little bit of fresh fuel and a battery it soon came back to life and sounded sweet!
Winter project .... sorted.

Looking better already 🙂

Honda XLR250 resto/colour change

 My love of the early 80's XR's inspired me to restore this 250 in the colors of those great bikes.
