Does anyone think this bike will actually pan out and make it to the US?

They just took out the engine in one of their dirt bikes.

That's exactly what I was thinking...., would that be a DH, or a "freeride" bike?

Same as above

Replying to myself, but the actual design at the "headtube" if you can call it that, is taken almost
exactly from the "one piece" looking design of the dirt bikes, and what about that seat? If there is
a point for that extra weight someone point it out to me.

cyclingnews said that Honda was developing the bike to test reliability for its motorcycles.
Hmmm.... Maybe they want to turn the tables on C-dale, who built a really lame motorcycle.

I remember the very first dual suspension bike I ever saw, in the 70's: it was a yamaha BMX bike.
pogo'd worse than a pogo stick. Greg
