Honda was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937 and made their first motorcycle in 1949, within 10 years becoming the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world, going on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers, as well as millions of other power products. Honda always tried to offer a bike to suit every need but like the other Japanese manufacturers, they were late coming to the game with purpose built Trials bikes, an area dominated in the 1960s/70s by Spanish companies. The TL models, developed by Sammy Miller, were their first entries into this popular market based on the existing XL models. Whilst the quality of the engines was unquestionable, the frames sometimes were not up to European standards, with various specialists developing frame kits to improve the performance.

The Fraser Honda 250 is an example of the blend of British frame technology and Japanese mechanics, giving riders the best of both worlds. Built by David Fraser of Redditch, this HT250 uses the engine from a XL250S in one of his lightweight frames with custom made bodywork These bikes are now quite rare and highly sought after by collectors of vintage trials bikes and competitors in twin shock trials events. Road registered, it will be supplied with a current V5C.
