Yeah that honda thing looks super heavy.  The gearbox looks pretty cool but also incredibly heavy.  I wonder how it works.

I have always thought these look weird:

Honda's G-cross was fucking baller. It's really too bad they discontinued the program but what was Honda's loss was a huge gain for Santa Cruz, Ironhorse and Intense (from a WC team standpoint)

Gordie if you want to see some insane bikes, hunt down pics from the big european bike show. I saw a HEAD bike with dual front brakes and dual FOX DHX 5 Air shocks.

I'll post some pics up if I can find them.

mainly cuz they had the best racer in the world at the time. no doubt the bike helped him push it more though.
