I mean reintroduce them like 10 years ago. An XR400 (400EX) and XR650 powerplant would have been perfect. The throtle and brakes are on the steering wheel. It is important to strap your hands to the wheel, so they wouldn't go flying out and get crushed in a rollover. My neighbor who is a cop, found one at an impound yard and paid $50 for it. He restored it to original mint condition, but sadly later sold it! I didn't buy it, because I could imagin a lot of upkeep issues.

Honda had CVT transmissions way back then! Maybe Honda learned something from the experience.....that put them off from ever using them again??????????

There was once a Pilot/Odyssey forum section in here.

A 400 2-stroke is a lot of engine! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1czL...eature=related

 

I'm old enough to remember those... They were a blast.

The last time I saw one was when I bought my BMW. It was also a Honda dealership, and one was in to be rejetted/carb rebuild.

You could tell that someone has had tons of fun with it.

 

Between my friends and I we have 9 of them - 6 250's and 3 350's. The 350's are smooth and powerful but don't fit down the trails. The 250's are bouncy but a ton on fun in tight trails. If you have the patience (it's long), here is another vid:

I have a nice FL250 Odyssey. It runs really good. I'm going to finish painting it, put a new belt on it & sell it.

 

those are cool. My uncle had one when I was a kid and we rode the crap out of it. I always thought it was just a weird looking go cart with big tires though.
