    You can still buy engines from Honda if im not mistaken (maybe not the 350X in the last few years). The ad states the guy got it off another guy who bought it new.

    Some tech schools also may have engines laying around that were donated to them...but they would royally screwed if they were to sell the engines and get caught.

    A few months ago I search the net for colleges that had small engine classes, after I found one I looked on the colleges web site and found emails to the instructors of the small engine classes. I emailed quite a few and only heard back from a couple. One still had brand new atc 250r liquid engines that they practice on, and I think one had some new 110 motors, but I got the same story from both of them, the motors can't be sold or put on the market because of the agreement with honda back in the late 80s. They were told that if Honda gave them the engines that they either had to throw them away or be donated to another school. I encourage everone to look into local high schools and local colleges and see if they might have some of these engines laying around they'd give away. It would be best to talk to a janator, slip him $200 and you'd be on your way with 5 brand new 250r motors.
