Only 20 left on the road now. I bought one new when they came out. Commuted on it, and was in the TRF so it went green laning on Sundays as well. Had to get the gear selector fixed when it jammed in 2nd gear in the middle of nowhere, but it was a free Honda fix due to a design fault. Great bikes, loved the way the engine sounded like a bag of spanners on tickover but was silky smooth once the revs increased.
Had the mtx 125 bought it for £150 back in 2000 as a up the woods mess around discovered it still had a valid v5 ended up fully restoring it had wheels made as i could never find any that didn't need rebuilding cost me £300 but was worth every penny black rims Stainless spokes blue powered coated frame black plastics many replacement pistons lol but easy to work on loved that bike regret selling it to buy a car
Hello, Moi aussi une 83 J'ai adoré cette bécane !! Je collais les xt500 mais ne pouvait pas les dépasser Xt 500 mon 2eme amour L'xls 500 aussi très bien et la 250 xls de même plus sage mais sympas
Runs nicely and with 27bhp a bit pokier than the 12bhp 125 I had! Even so it was a great bike especially at 17 after a year on a 30mph 50cc!There’s also a 125 version unrestricted (JD05) with the ATAC putting out around 21bhp. Have to say though I wouldn’t ride without gloves on and I’d be inclined to test my lights and horn BEFORE I went out! 😉😁
Oh une 200 mtx mon grand frère en avait acheter une neuve super cette moto il avait serrer avec pendant la garantie Honda n avais rien voulu savoir il a dû payer de sa poche cylindre piston 3000 francs à l epoque en 83

Excellent little bike. You did a good job on it. Love the sound of the 2 stroke thumpers. Honda, the best bike going for a trailey. Enjoy it mate ✌🏼

Merci pour cette promenade dans ma jeunesse, j'avais la même en 1985.
Idem mais en 83 vraiment une super petite bécane vive comme l'eclair

Had both full power 125 and restricted uk model in both mbx and Mtx , mbx125 is much better in atac version than the mtx125 due to gearing
I doubt it makes 27bhp.. that’s like a rm125 lol, but still, nice bike !
@@chrismorse2617 does the mtx have shorter or longer gears?
@@okerhrh4139 they are rated at 20kw which is 27 hp.
@@Shabbe02 jag vill roka grass
i had exact same one, reminded me...
What's your mpg on this one ? thanks !
I know it's over a year later, but I don't suppose it's for sale, Chris?

Got that Chris. You can delete now
I have one that has 3k miles on it hasn’t been on road properly since 2005 but I’ve been through it cleaned the carb and it runs and rides fine

I got one 1 to but I want to sell it. How much do you think its worth?
All depends what it’s like and the country you are in
How much did you sell it for?
Around 800 euro but it wasn’t in the orginal state anymore
in belgium it goes for around €3700
