I just bought the new April DIRT WHEELS Magazine and they have a picture of a 3 cylinder Honda EX with 120 HP with optional turbo. I think this is an april`s fool. What are your response.
Thank you REG

If you look closly, the front and rear fenders do not match the rest of the red on the body of the quad. Go to hondas website,its the body off the new jet-ski they are comming out with. The front bumber is a raptor one and why would they put a seat like that on a quad?Its off the jet ski also. And it has mirrors! Also what caught my eye was no where on the quad does it says"honda" it says 750 EX and thats it not sportrax or honda.

Also, look at the hand grips. They are tiny, and there are no levers on it.

I swear on a bunch of transmission damaged Raptors stacked up to heaven, the 750EX is for real.

Hey guys - How much did the article say that thing weighs? The motor itself weighs more than what the article says the total weight of the quad is!...(300 and some odd pounds)
