Is the new 2002 250R and the new 2002 600EX that are on the website atvtire.com for real. I don't think it is, but when you really want something any thing is possible.


was looking for a 400ex, maybe not now

 

I don't see Honda manufacturing a 2 stroke ATV in the future due to emission restrictions of some of the states. The 600EX is a possibility.

 

I didn't see them at the site.

 

Hey Born2Race click on the world, and then click on Spy ATV Photos (on the left column). Hope you find it. Good pictures

 

I think the 600 is possible, but unless honda has some type of new super clean 2 stroke the 250r will never happen....unless of course the 250 is a 4 stroke motor, but what sense would that make?

Honda has already put a press release on thier site that specifically says that after 2001 Honda will no longer mass produce any form of two stokes. I think the 250r is out of the question.

American Honda reports record motorcycle and ATV sales for 2000



Torrance, CA — American Honda Motor Company's Motorcycle Division reported today year-end retail sales of 174,376 motorcycles, an increase of 44,743 motorcycles over 1999. Honda's motorcycles sales in the US were strong enough to easily capture the number one market share position at 26.5%. In a year that saw motorcycle industry sales grow 27.3%, Honda sales grew at an unprecedented rate of 34.5%.

"We are very pleased that riders are enjoying our products in such record numbers," said Ray Blank, motorcycle division vice president. "'Performance First' means that we give our customers products that inspire and excite them. We have the most diverse lineup in the industry, with more to come. 2001 will be another incredible year for Honda customers."

American Honda's ATV sales also soared in 2000, ending the year at 211,152, an increase of 29.6%. Once again Honda exceeded the ATV industry's healthy growth rate of 18.8%, strengthening Honda's already dominant number one market share position of 32.6%.

As the industry's sales leader, Honda's US sales are on track to support parent company Honda Motor's worldwide sales goal of 7M motorcycles by March 2004, a substantial increase over Honda's 2000 sales of approximately 5.16M motorcycles.

Honda leads the motorcycle industry on other fronts as well. As the world's leader in four-stroke technology, Honda is committed to producing motorcycles, scooters and ATVs that utilize low emission, fuel efficient four-stroke engine designs.

Further to this pledge, American Honda announced today that beginning with the 2002 model year, Honda would only mass-produce four-stroke powered on and off road motorcycles, ATVs and scooters for the US market.

"Honda is, above all, an engine company," said Blank. "Our four-stroke engine designs will set new industry standards for quiet, efficient, power. And four-strokes are a responsible answer to environmental issues."
