    Yikes, I am not that impressed with the design, I feel like I won't purchase it.

    At 49CCs I think it will likely compete more with the go-ped than Spyders and Rykers..... Jim

    Eww... it looks like a roto-tiller, a mountain bike, and an aardvark all put together.

    Sorry, I couldn't resist. No offense to those who might swing that way... to each their own...

    I dunno, kinda clunky in the front and lean in the back . . . I’m thinking it looks more like a mechanical wart-hog (maybe the next generation’s version of a transformer).

    I was very happy with the Hondas I owned, but that one wouldn't get a second look from me.


    Not to mention that I can't picture putting my lard butt on that little thing!!!

I reckon it looks like the 'rider' might hafta kneel on the seat or floor boards to avoid having that rear tire do some pretty painful surgery every time it hits a bump!!

    The REAL Honda Gyro is a conventional trike configuration with 2 drive wheels up the back, only the whole front section tilts, & they've been around for a while! They first hit the streets in about 1982, and I think that some versions are still being sold:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Gyro

    The real Honda Gyro's & variants are a lot more sedate looking than the Asook modified version; they are pretty agile & cheap to run, so they have been fairly popular as '1 person scooters' &/or 'light delivery vehicles' in Japanese cities - I've heard tell that some cities have more of them running around than NY has bike messengers!

    Have a 1985 in my barn, made in 84-85-86 and sold in US. They are still sold in many far east countries very interesting design typical trike but boy can you lean these in a corner. Yes 49cc 2 cycle engine, 2 sp automatic, true automatic you can't shift it. I like mine but very hard to get parts as Honda has changed the engine over the years and the old one is not supported very well. If you are interested there are some forums online, I use hondaspree.net. farmer54 Frank

    This will never nor was it meant to be exported. They were designed to be small delivery vehicles used in the middle of a busy city. In Tokyo, Osaka and many other large cities lunch meals are normal delivered to the place of employment for employees and inter city deliveries of all kinds are made where this vehicle can go between traffic and through narrow alley ways.


    Was never intended to even slightly compete in the motorcycle industry. A lot of misunderstanding and misinterpretation here.
