I bought a Honda today. Had to trailer it home since it wasn't streetable, and there are two dime-sized dents on the left side, but within 6 hours my neighbor and I added a chrome tailpipe, a complete cold air intake with a genuine K&N filter, rebuilt the carb, did an ignition tune up, painted the whole thing flat black, and the total amount of money spent was under $75 including TTL. Wish it had air conditioning but at least it has cruise control and good tires. Needs an alignment pretty bad but it runs pretty sweet.

Curious? I'll give you a hint; its RWD. (and no its not a dirt bike )

Discuss. I'm going to bed. I'll post pics tomorrow.

A bike? RWD carbd honda confuses me.

A cheap Fd up s2k sounds about right as well though.

Only one carb and one tailpipe rules out almost all of their multicylinder bikes. And I don't expect mowers to have that much aftermarket. So, I'm going to say... shifter kart.

my bad, you are right. I seem to remember someone having said that the S2000 was Honda's first RWD car. (Obviously the NSX came first, but here it was an Acura).

I got my Honda history wrong... apologies due to everyone involved.

One of them Jazz scooter things? Or like someone said, a Ruckus. Has to be transport i'm guessing, due to the whole TTL thing.

The little fold-out Scooter that came as an accessory to a Honda City?

edit: called a Motocompo.

Unless I'm missing a semantic twist here, I think that this rules out ATV's carb'd bikes and karts. I'm voting lawn mower

Due to the $75 include TTL it has to be a lawnmower or ATC since you I'm pretty sure you couldn't register anything in any state for that little. But I seriously hope its an odyssey

Cruise control kills any idea of a 2 wheeled vehicle, doesn't it?

I guess a mower of some type (self propelled could count as cruise control)

I registered my last two cars combined for like......80. It can be done. Do you even need to register a lawnmower or ATC/V?
