An absolutely stunning 1981 Honda TL125 Ihatovo.
Honda first dipped its toe into the trials waters with the TL125 (known as the Bials – Bike for Trials -in Japan) in 1972. It was hugely successful and was the start of a long and illustrious history for Honda in the trials world.
In 1981 they introduced the Ihatovo. (Ihatovo is a word coined by the early twentieth century Japanese poet Kenji Miyazawa and means utopia). For the Ihatovo Honda made some engineering changes, namely the switch to CDi ignition from the earlier flywheel magneto, upside down shocks at the rear and a semi-air assisted front suspension system. Cosmetically the tank has a new design, the frame went from black to silver and the hubs from silver to black.
Like all the TL’s, the Ihatovo is a widely respected machine. Being trail bikes, over forty years old and only in production for a short time (3 years) they are hard to come by in decent condition. This one is considerably more than decent.
We haven't had many of these in but this is by some distance the most beautiful example. We have one other 1981 TL125 Ihatovo in the same container but this one is in a league of its own. It has had paint but that does not take away from the fact that the bike is absolutely stunning. Arrived March 2025. Historic therefore MOT & Tax exempt.
