Some great links there..
For people who have never seen a complete kit the last link shows the Mugen 360 is a lot more than just a head and barrel which is all a lot of the 360 Mugen's out there have

It would be interesting to know how many of the ME360 complete bikes were actually sold.

I had an NOS ME360 head for years and never could find a cylinder (pistons are available).  I finally sold it on eBay  a few years ago.
 :(

I have that pic of the Smith bike in the Fox Preparing Hondas for Motocross book.  Looks like RC frame because it has the brace from the swingarm pivot up under the tank that the Ohlins reservoirs are mounted to. Stock and Mugen ME360 do not have that brace.

Yeah it would be an RC with the Mugen motor, as i remember they tried a couple of different engines that year.

it was the $390 ME 250 kit I bought for my CR - made a huge difference.
