Honda's long line of successful off-road models commenced in 1972 with the launch of the SL250 trail bike, though the nomenclature soon changed to the more familiar XL250. The XL's single-cylinder four-stroke engine was typically Honda, being an all-alloy, four-valve unit, and this was housed in a robust cradle-type frame. The company's first proper trials machine - the TL125 of 1973 - was constructed along similar lines, and under the guidance of off-road maestro and many-time Trials Champion, Sammy Miller, was developed into a competitive mount for the clubman. Production continued until mid-1978. As well as helping develop the production TL125, Miller also offered his own 'H-Boy' frame kit, which as its name suggests had increased ground clearance while at the same time being lighter than the stock offering. Around 750 Miller Hi-Boy frames were made between 1974 and 1980.
