Back at the Suzuka 8 Hours,a British rider came to our pit saying,“I want TSR-made parts!” That photo must be from that moment. Go on—take off and fly even further out into the world!

Bol Dor

Why does Honda put the name “Bol d’Or” on their bikes?No one really knows anymore.These days, people don’t ask,but back then it was a common question.They even used to ask why there was no “Suzuka” or “Le Mans,” too. Congratulations to Taiga for taking back-to-back wins at All […]
