The '''[[Honda]] XL185S''' was a single cylinder, [[four-stroke]] Trail [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Honda]] between 1979 and 1983. It could reach a top speed of 71 mph (115 km/h). Claimed [[horsepower]] was 15.69 HP (11.7 KW) @ 8000 RPM. 
==Engine==
The engine was a [[air cooled]] single cylinder, four-stroke. A 63.0mm [[bore]] x 57.8mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 180.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a overhead cams (ohc).  Mechanically, its engine is similar to Honda ATC 185 ATV. This engine was used as a basis for the version supplied by [[Honda Racing Corporation#History|Honda RSC]] to [[Colin Seeley]] for the hand-built [[Colin Seeley#Road bikes and others|Seeley TL200]] [[Motorcycle trials|trials]] bike.<ref>[http://davestestsandarticles.weebly.com/uploads/4/8/4/5/4845046/__whbknov80trials.pdf ''Which Bike''] UK magazine, November 1980. ''On the Rough. Little Big Uns, Honda TL200. "The Honda is built in this country by Colin Seeley International, the engines being supplied by RSC in Japan and built specially for trials. At £1280 the Honda reflects its hand built origins...''" Retrieved 2014-10-04</ref>
The engine has a [[compression release]], also called a decompressor valve, which is connected to the kick starter with a cable, to ease starting.
==Drive==
The bike has a 5-speed transmission. 
==Chassis==
It came with a 2.75-21 front [[tire]] and a 4.10-18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via expanding brake in the front and a expanding brake in the rear. The XL185S was fitted with a 1.85 Gallon (7.00 Liters) fuel tank.
