I discovered this last night. I knew Honda was making motorized bicycles back in the mid 1940s, but I didn't know they had one out in '84! This bike has some great features, friction drive, interesting security including a kill switch attached to a spoke lock, here's a good site to read about the lucky dude whom was able to find one:

Manufacturer specs are here:

This bike is killer! Anyone seen and/or own/ride one? Anyone know where I can get more info? Why did they stop making these? The whole set-up is so clean, great controls, indicator lights, and I love that the actuator "clutch" lever moves the whole engine in order to power the bike. If I'm reading correctly, the gas and oil are stored seperately, another fantastic feature. I want one!
