Up for auction is my Honda TL125S 'Ihatovo' model.  I believe these bikes were only manufactured for the Japanese market (happy to be corrected if I'm wrong) as continuation of the TL125 'Bials' and TL125S trials bikes that were available in Australia from around 1973 to 1978ish. The Ihatovo model had air forks, upgraded rear shocks and CDI ignition.  This bike was imported into Australia in 2007 and will come with the import approval.
I purchased this bike early in 2017 from an enthusiast that purchased the bike from the importing dealer back in 2007 (original receipts will come with the bike).  This bike is surplus to my needs as ended up purchasing an original unmolested TL125S with 493 original kms from the same gentleman at the time which just couldn't pass up albeit at far greater cost.
The bike is complete including all functioning road gear including lights, blinkers, horn and speedo.  I have also fitted set of  NOS model correct mirrors, NOS headlight grill and NOS blinker lenses since purchased it.  The bike runs and started second kick for me this morning after not being started for several months.  I took it for short ride with no issues but it could do with tune up.  Tyres look to be original but still have fantastic tread.  You will need to check your own state rules to find out of this bike is eligible for historic/club rego or even full rego as it doesn't have ADR compliance.
On the negative side, the petrol tank had internal rust when purchased it so put KBS chemical cleaning kit and liner through it, but it has pin hole under one of the decals on right side of tank.  I do have another can of KBS liner that might thicken the liner sufficiently to stop it leaking, but haven't tried it.  So the bike will also come with non-leaking TL125S tank from one of my other TLs that is fine other than ding in the left hand side (see second last photo).  The muffler also has couple of rust holes as pictured (see last photo) but should be an easy fix for someone with welding skills.  On the positive side, the original plastic side covers have zero cracks or breaks which is very unusual for TL125s.  You can purchase new reproduction tank on eBay for $260 from guy on the Qld Sunshine Coast if that's the way you want to go.  The original tool bag and tool kit are also included.
Please view photos carefully as they form part of the description.  I'm happy to answer any questions mobile 0407 981025.  Inspection is welcome on the NSW far north coast but if you bid and win, the result is final regardless of whether you change your mind after the auction ends.  Please don't bid if you have less than 10 positive feedback unless you phone me first and prove your authenticity.
Pick up is on NSW far north coast (approx. 15 minutes south of Gold Coast airport).  I'm happy to assist with arranging motorcycle transport company but at YOUR cost.  Payment is to be via electronic bank deposit or cash on delivery if you pick up within days of auction ending.  No PayPal unless you are willing to pay the PayPal fees (approx. 3% of total amount).
Good luck and happy bidding!
