Yeh Tecate Craze, same dream here! Have owned a number of Honda Odysseys since the 70s but nothing as nice as this Pilot, it looks so well built and by the looks like a of it a lot of $$$$$$ have been spent on this machine. In stock form they where loads of fun but this little rocket I would die for!!! :beer

I rode a pilot with a snowmobile engine, that things was ridiculasly fast, my 250r trike felt like a go-cart compared to it.

5 grand sounds like a hell of a deal for one of them!

5 grand for a nice pilot is a steal

We seen 2 of them that were very nice at Little Sahara this weekend. I would sure like to go ride the dunes on one and see how they perform and just try to roll it to see if it is pssible.

yea i know :eek: this thing is super clean with a 500 rotax in it, or a 400 bored and stroked to a 417, i cant remember lol it has some balls tho, if i had 5 grand i would sirously buy it, but i will be building a off road kart this winter with an yamaha sx650 street bike motor, its a 4 stroke but should be good :)
