2008 Wildfire. It looks like a pickup truck, but it's licensed, titled, inspected and insured as a motorcycle. This originally came with a 250cc motor, but I had the motor out of a 1993 Honda VLX 600 motorcycle installed.
Here's a link to a video of the Wildfire running that was recorded on May 12, 2016: https://youtu.be/HJVu38tBAGc The Wildfire has a 4 speed transmission plus reverse. After installing the motor, I had a custom exhaust installed with dual fish tail pipes coming out the back. Note: Those are NOT real sidepipes under the doors, they are just there for looks. The "new" exhaust comes out under the middle of the rear tailgate. The motor is under the seat. This is a rear wheel drive trike with a drive shaft connecting the motor to the rear end. In order to give it a little more stability plus a cooler look, I replaced the skinny 12" rear tires with 10" wide profile tires. I used wheel spacers to make the 10" wheels and wide tires fit because of the size of the rear brake drums. I installed an AM/FM/CD player. This also has a factory roof vent. Both sides and the rear gate flip down to make it a flatbed if you wish (which can be seen in the parade picture with Elmo). I have over $7,500 invested in this Wildfire. We used the Wildfire to participate in parades to promote our non-profit pet rescue organization, and it certainly got a lot of attention! It's currently registered in PA (as a motorcycle) and insured (very inexpensive to insure). Note: The body is NOT perfect. It has its share of bumps, scrapes, faded paint, etc. If you want something creative and fun that grabs a ton of attention, this might be just what you're looking for. Two of the pictures show the 600cc motor installed (top pic of motor under the seat, and bottom pic taken from under the Wildfire). The Wildfire passed PA State Inspection. It is fully licensed, titled, inspected and insured as a motorcycle in PA. The Wildfire is advertised locally and subject to prior sale without notice. The ad on ebay will be removed immediately if sold locally. This Wildfire is being sold as is, without any expressed warranty or guarantee. |

Honda and Yamaha Pledge Support to Typhoon Victims in Philippines
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Honda and Yamaha each offered aid to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan which struck the Philippines earlier this month. Initial estimates put the death tool at over 10,000 but Philippine President Benigno Aquino says the actual number maybe closer to 2,500. Still, the United Nations says more than 11 million people were affected by the typhoon, with about 673,000 displaced from their homes.
Natural Habitats
Sat, 26 Jan 2013SAM Christmas has been a professional photographer for the last 3 years and is the man behind Natural Habitats, a collection of photos covering the growing UK custom scene, showing bikes and their builders at home. Sam's clients include the likes of Honda, Dainese, Google, Polo Jeans and Edwin denim but Natural Habitats is a personal project that took one and a half years to complete. I got to meet Sam when the exhibition opened in Shoreditch on Thursday evening.
Things I wouldn't like to race: Part 1
Mon, 25 Jul 2011Now I know that Mike Hailwood raced a 6-cylinder Honda but that's no excuse for this CBX I spotted at the Bikers Days Spa Classic. The 1047cc, inline 6 cylinder, 24 Valve, DOHC Honda might be a feat of engineering brilliance but it looks like it would be a right handful on track. I've added a picture of an oil tanker to give you an idea of just how long the CBX's wheelbase really is.
