I remember going on one of those corporate hospitality, try lots of motoring bits and bobs, many years ago and had an absolute blast in one of these. In a pathetic attempt to regain my youth I recently fancied buying one - only to find that they only made them across a couple of years in the late eighties. Er, why? I get that others have entered the market, but the Pilot seemed to me to capture the raw, single-seater, two-stroker madness better than the rest - oh, and didn't come with a mortgage application requirement!

Thanks James - I do remember the issue with the 3 wheelers but didn't realise that had extended through to the Pilots. Thank goodness Honda don't make any other dangerous vehicles, well aside the Fireblade. Oh and the CBR600. oh, better add the rest of the sportsbike line up - and the powerboats/quads etc etc. Mmmm... think I've spotted the flaw in their cunning plan.

Thanks bigblock - I have seen only a very few for sale and certainly the link you provided seems to have the best/cleanest. Need to save up!

Saw those Sticky, thanks. I had a advice from a top bloke who is into his off road buggies - he said aim for the CVT drive and 100hp/ton - not sure which makes I need to hone in on - anybody help?
