Honda re-joins the fray in Flat Track Twins finally

[Vincenthdfan]

Spy shots of the brand new Honda flat tracker. This is pretty significant since they havent been in the twins game for a long, long time.

Many of you may remember back in the Bubba Shobert and Ricky Graham days, they were on top of their game and Honda just pulled the plug on the whole program.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out this time around. I'm not a huge Honda fan boy but any new blood will be good for the sport...it certainly needs something to revive it.

Africa twin based engine?

Sure looks similar, yes. Definitely a vertical twin versus their older v-twins they used to use.

Honda does this periodically. They get involved till they win a season or two then pull out and concentrate their efforts on another venue.
Good to see another competitor though.

Someone needs to challenge the Indians.

Yamaha has actually given them a good run for the money with the Estenson Racing Team. KTM is starting to get stronger too...
