Did you also know that the Honda engine which was the first engine that not
need smog equipment was designed by an American motorcycle mechanic? Detroit
was not interested in it and so he sold the concept to Japan. The first
Honda 600 cars were little two seaters with motorcycle engines. They were
first sold in motorcycle dealerships. I brought my first Honda motorcycle in
1968 and then had my own auto shop for over 10 years, specializing in the
repair of Honda Cars. I was considered a traitor because there was still
anger towards the Japanese from WW 11. This is 1973 in Northern CA.
I hear this again and again, Honda continues to make an excellent engine.
They continue to be ahead of the game. And no, I don't own a Honda motor. I
have a 2 cycle 3 HP that pollutes both the water and air.
