Honda Hybrid?

gnomad · 10-19-2008, 09:58 PM

Saw this today at the local Sonic Restaurant after taking my wife and mom out to eat. I didn't have time to really get any good pictures and I just had my cell phone camera but it really looked interesting. It has two seats up front in a roll cage type go kart enclosure. Looks like they did a nice job putting it all together.

Interesting...

It looks like it's powered by a V65 Sabre, plenty of power to drive the thing, but hard to picture that back tire lasting.

I saw a Can-Am Spyder last week for the first time out in traffic. A much better looking contraption than that sandrail/dunebuggy/trike motorcycle :)

If I were them, I would've gotten a sidecar.

It looks like a motorcycle rear ended a rail buggy. That ain't no vehicle that is an accident.

Hmmm, me's got a rail buggy me don't use, and an old Honda sitting in the yard, too. Wait, me's got an idea. lol

I too have been seeing a few Can Am spyders out and about. My kawa dealer also sells/services them. I had my Nomad up there getting a safety inspection couple weeks ago and a lady trailers her Can Am in for servie. She is raving about it and rightly so. Then when she went out to unload it the service manager told me ,,,,I hate to tell her at 12,000 miles the book calls for checking/adjusting the valves,,,, at 14 hrs of labor @ $84/hr. OUCH!!! Over $1100 for valve adjustment. Thought I wanted one till then. No way Jose. :-)

Wow, I have not looked at one of those closely, but 14 hours labor.That seems a bit much.A full tune-up must be upwards of two grand.
