Well done that Boxhead. We'll have to do a gentle off-road session with
my SL125.

Incidentally, did you know that the SL was considered by Honda to be a
smaller version of the Motosport, to the extent that they had a single
brochure covering both bikes?

There's a idea - got to be very gentle though as I don't want to risk
the unobtanium bits on it.

It's actually the other way round - the Motosport is a follow-up to the
earlier SL250/350 models and as such, still has an 'SL' chassis number.

Does that mean you have some red Marzocchi Stradas for sale?

No, someone else presumably removed them a long time ago, unless this
bike came with Konis fitted from the factory.
