Honda Wildfire description
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. |

A Weighty Issue
Mon, 03 Nov 2008For as long as I can remember, motorcycle manufacturers have been playing fast and loose with regard to what they claim for the weight of their bikes. The “dry weights” they foisted upon us had little basis in reality. The “dry” part of that claim meant that listed weights on a spec chart were the result of all fluids being MIA from the bike, including necessities like engine oil, coolant and fork fluid (not to mention fuel), but even that didn’t fully explain the overly optimistic specs.

Bradl, the runaway favorite to take home MotoGP rookie of the year honors this season, took his Honda RC213V out for a spin on San Franciscio’s Treasure Island before going for a ride down the city’s iconic Lombard St., no doubt using the steep, winding road as practice for Laguna Seca’s Corkscrew.
