Don't expect to be riding an RN01...ever. The existing ones are getting compacted apparently. That's insane.

there are alot of ppl who would spend waaaay over top dollar to have one of those rigs

Great interview!
I agree; it was a successful adventure for Honda, and it was certainly good for the sport.

Yeah, read that too. Actually, I was surprised to see the team go as long as they did. When they signed Fairclough, I thought, well, maybe they're here for good.....wrong! A good point was made about the patents they have on internally geared transmissions for bicycle applications. If they're not going to use them, they sould sell/license those patents to people like Hayes.

Not suprising. Is a crying shame though.

They crush a lot of stuff (for a lot of reasons). I've seen a couple of neat things come over here to AHM for testing and evaluation....only to get sent for compacting- even after me begging on my knees not too waving my checkbook with a platinum card taped to it.

Me thinks they'll save one for the Museum.
At least I hope they do.

RIP RN01

they'll def save one. but im sure the rest are dust in the wind
