Too bad Speed Energy is just on his helmet - don't think Quinn's primary sponsor, Honda Europe, will let it
be on the bike but it could happen. Quinn soloed and won the 534 mile Vegas to Reno race overall this year
by 14 minutes. Remember, no prerunning like Baja and against the best two and four wheel teams. He also
teamed with Kendall Norman to win the Baja 1000. The down side is that the bike doesn't turn worth a damn
in fast stuff - slow it down, square it up and gas on - not speedway style with this bike. Here's a video of the
winning class 50 team at this years Baja 1000 with Steve Williams on the same bike - yep, he's old & fast.
It seems Honda improved the cycle this year

Yes, somewhat better but suspension & handling package still needs improvement and that often
requires a complete geometric redesign. Hard for a modified motocrosser to compete with purpose
built cross country machines although Aprilia and Yamaha were successful last year. Kana Tuna
Machine is still the bike to beat.
