probably been discussed before or one of those thing everyone knows but me but, what does the letters mean after the motor size on the honda trikes? I thought S would mean suspension but the 185s doesnt have a suspension right? Did honda just throw a letter after enging size just to deferentiate a R from a big red etc? Just curious, thought I'd ask the pros. thanks Jim

Here's what they stand for:

S= Super
X= Xtreme
M= Macho
R= Racing
E= Extra
ES= Extra Super
SX= Super Xtreme

Thats what I think, Lol, I don't think thats what they mean, but kind of funny.

I think "ES" means "electric start".

Just guessing.

Actually it was just over a year ago, man how time flies!!!! I found the thread by searching for: "electric+start+stand"

Here is that thread:
