I saw a honda 600 in the junkard sat. only 99k, but had rust like the
mileage was 99 million.It was the sport model.I actually rode in one
once.The owners manuel was like new.We could not figure how to open the
hood. The stick shift comes out from under the dash. Had the keys and many
good parts.I heard this was air cooled w/ a motercycle engine , but dont
know for sure. I remember when these were new. They advertised in hot rod
mag.The line was would you rather have 400 horsepower, or Mary, Jane and
Rachel. Showed a guy with chicks hanging off him while he was leaning on
his new honda 600 sport. A 400 horspower chevelle ss 396 was in the
background. Both were red, and the ss had cool white stripes.I remember
that they sold a bunch,and saw them frequently.I was in high school, and
one remembers stupid things like this ,then.
