Honda RTL360

One of my fave bikes has to be the works Honda RTL360 of Eddy Lejeune. I remember seeing him on it (or maybe it was a 250?) a couple of times when he rode in the Scottish Six Days Trial. A geat bike and a great rider. Did a bit of an internet search and discovered, somewhat surprisingly, that a works ex-Lejeune 360 is now owned by a very lucky French chap. I say 'surprisingly' because I understood that it was Honda company policy to 'crush' works bikes when they were no longer being used. Having said that, back in the '90s, I heard of another works RTL (a 250) that had escaped the crusher and was available for around £10k. Much prefer the fire-engine red 360 though. Perhaps the most desirable trials bike of all time.
