Already be seen,but someone post this picture of his brochure he got in the 80's to his local dealer.In quebec.....

That is way cool...because I can see the front and the back! Ive just seen the picture but not the whole brochure like that.

Can someone in Canada go and ask Honda dealers that were around in 1987 if they sold any '87 R's? Or even look in their records from Honda or 1987 to see if they got or sold any?

Tell them its a research project...BECAUSE IT IS!

Awesome...maybe showing them a picture of that brochure will get attention. I can see these dealers saying oh they stopped making them in '87.

In this thread I spoke with Honda Canada personally it was was confirmed they sold them; they had records of them being sold at various dealers.

They happen to know those dealers?

They must have some kind of records as you'd think Honda would know if they sold them because the money has to go somewhere. Most likely each individual sale would have been logged. Especially since they gave me a ballpark figure of about 100 or less sold per model.

Not to be pessimistic, but it is highly unlikely the dealers or import brokers would keep records longer than whatever the tax law requires.

Your best bet may be to contact the Manitoba, Ontario, or Quebec (got French?) departments of vehicle registration. I think they keep records forever. In the 1980's all trikes in Manitoba ridden on Crown land had to be registered with the province and have license plates and massive decals like the snowmobiles required. If a 1987 model was ever registered they would likely still have those records. However, I doubt they would ever tell you a ser# or an owners name, so it will be hard to prove anything, but it might give you a lead.

That's a great idea. I don't think the dealers would have kept records but I think Honda did and that's where I got the information. I'll see what I can dig up when I get a chance.
