that bike looks a hundred times better with paint.
I thought Factory Honda
- Thread starter Motionboy2
- Start date
My biggest question is whether the bike sounding like it has a handfull of nuts and bolts loose in the monocoque is mandatory. You could hear those bikes coming from miles away at WVA. It sounded like they were going to start losing parts any moment.
Personally I like a quiet bike.

No problem! Just spray a little expandable foam in there and tada, all problems are solvedSpasticJack said:
hopefully you could get with some sort of honda finance plan....HRDTLBRO said:Ahh...Good to know. So the Honda bike will only be around the $18,000 mark, rather than $180,000? Wonder what ep cost would be?

What do you think Minnaar is?Acadian said:they are going to start making robots?
I'm just glad I'm not married, I don't have to explain to the wife why my new bike needs to be financed.binary visions said:

You know, guys looking to get their wife's approval could always say they want to buy a Honda for X thousand dollars; she doesn't have to know it's a downhill bike instead of a car or a motorcycle until it's too late...
They already DO make a Robot! I'm on the waiting list for one right now....Acadian said:they are going to start making robots?

I am happy that I am married so the wife can help pay for the bikesssaddict said:I'm just glad I'm not married, I don't have to explain to the wife why my new bike needs to be financed.
they should call it the CR0.
Okay, maybe you all missed my post the last time this was brought up BUT
Honda had me fill out a questionere regarding what I thought of their DH bike, would I buy it, how much would I pay for it etc etc. They ARE doing market research and ARE considering bringing it to the market.

Secrecy- Am I the only one that saw the thread that said that the gearbox in it is patented, meaning that anybody can go on line and see the full specs on it?
Change the suspension and switch to a "convetional" g-box and you just knocked off about a gizzillion dollars off of what it would take to build that thing. At the races where I have seen it, it looked as though they were overhauling the fork, shock, and trani daily, if not more often. Def did not appear to be anywhere close to consummer level.
People have been questioning the durability of non-Rohloff hubs as g-boxes, but I don't think it will be a problem, if they decide to go that route. Once the stress of being the center of the wheel has been removed... who knows. Maybe Shimano will end up hooking Honda up with something new. Who knows.
Playing the groundless speculation game is fun!!!
Anybody else have a conspiracy theory they want to share???

Seriously this bike is a work of art. It's just awesome looking. I would love to own this one... The yellow.... :heart:
surely they gonna start running out of non-drive side 2002 XTR crank arms ?
Cripes! You're right... I can see the headlines:rockracing said:surely they gonna start running out of non-drive side 2002 XTR crank arms ?
Honda loses millions in R&D endeavor, declares bankruptcy. Cites crank arm shortage as the cause.
