Default NEW Honda at Winchester Bay.

Just got back from Winchester Bay and on Friday, there was a film crew there shooting a commercial with a NEW Red Sport Quad. They were all "Top Secret" acting, and asking people not to take any pictures. From what I heard, it was Tim Farr doing the riding. Never got a good look at it, but it apears to be the Real Deal.

It was there Thurs (sounds like Fri too!) ...don't ask...don't tell...it reminded me of the 250r, the way it sits low. They ran the whole place on knobbies, and no I don't have pictures.
I was sworn to secrecy for a look behind the veil.
I guess I've failed... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I talked to a guy that watched it jumping (Big Air), on one landing, Farr hit real hard on the rear wheels, bounced, but landed it anyway. The guy said that he thinks the shift lever broke. When we were there on Friday, they were working on it in the truck and rode it out with a tarp over it. Apparently, they couldn't fix it, and they never even uncovered it. They put it into the back of a Chevy PU, and drove it back, loaded it up and left.

All I could see was the rear fender, front fender, and the exhaust. The muffler was polished, either stainles or aluminum. The fenders were pointed, and looked a lot like the drawing. The guy that I talked to about the jump and hard landing, said that a buddy of his had gotten the whole thing on video. Don't know how to find him, sure would like to see that tape though.

From the front it looks a lot like the DVX, about the same as the drawing...but it looks like it sits a lot lower than anything else out there, similar to the 250R. I didn't get a good look at the suspension. The one down there was red w/black hood.
They had to pack up and find a new location because of all the jacka$$es riding in front of it as he was screaming around the bowls.
