    WOW!!! Words cant describe how sweet it is. I had been wondering what happened with that bike after revisiting your web site recently. Now I know. Nice Work.
    Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
    Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

    Check out my Tiger 3 wheeler Webpage..my quest for a TIGER MUSEUM started 2004 http://sites.google.com/site/tigerrotax/home

    Rides: TIGER Factory line up, Tricky Dicks Cagiva 200, 4- Franks 3 and 4 Wheelers

    Hope you're not the type that gets offended by this kind of question but, how much is Honda paying you for that? I'm sure we're all curious.

    Next time you talk to those guys at HOJ, tell them to stop discontinuing and destroying our precious OEM parts too.

    Edit: take that thing to a photographer first and get some high quality shots taken for some posters! You'd clean up on ebay! Put me down for one right now.

    Lets just say Honda has alot of money, and when i first started building this 250R i thought they would bury me with it , I told everyone i would never sell. I will just leave it at that , Im sure honda does not want me throwing around business dealings with them they have been very good to me .

    Fair enough. I was serious about the posters and pleading for parts though.
