Made in celebration of the legendary Dougie Lampkin’s iconic career, the 315R Dougie Lampkin Replica (known colloquially as the ‘DLR’) was a redesign of the popular trials machine by Honda.
The Montesa Honda 315R first entered the trials scene in late 1997 as a collaborative effort between the two motorcycle manufacturers – Honda bringing the reliability and decades of experience in high-revving motors, while Montesa brought their R&D from previous models such as the Cota to form a reliable, high-performance machine.
The 315R came in a lightweight package, featuring a function-over-form aluminum frame and a single-cylinder two-stroke engine that tipped the scales at just over 165 pounds! With numbers like that, it wasn’t long after that the tiny trials bike gained national recognition – with rider’s like Dougie Lampkin winning consecutive victories from the motorcycle’s debut in 1997 through to 2003.
To commemorate Lampkin’s success, Honda and Montesa developed a replica model that would be available to the public. Outfitted with unique features such as a special design on the tank and a less-restrictive exhaust, the DLR was a full-blown trials competition bike ready to compete straight from the manufacturer!
