i had one back in november 0f 1980 had some honda conections back then they had lots of problems first ride smashed the botom of the pipe it was lower than the bottom of the frame honda gave me a diffrent pipe that didnt run so low two weeks later the gear box went bang again honda replaced all the gear box parts this happened a total of four times each time they sent the parts back to japan the last time they replaced the complete gear box all shafts input and out put , the selector drum all bearings ect the selector drum was to blame so i was told . the last straw for me was when the shock hose come of the shock id had two big crashes because of the gear box locking and the other when the rear shock hose went when the bike did go it was great winning all the club days i went in and two opens in c grade but to many dnfs forked the year for me
