1989 Honda Pilot Fl400r Restored Walk around and test drive

[@ironjohn5914]

I had one and drove the neighbors nuts but boy oh boy was it fun to ride it all around!!!

[@mismutt88]

We just restored the one I had as a kid, they have a unique sound! And they drift like a dream!!

[@xxdfoster]

Thing looks so gloriously dangerous and I love it

[@redin575]

Your sound is jacked

[@frankyalvarez7160]

The mic isnt made for loud sounds, it does that to protect the mic from damage.

[@amanteapasionado6836]

Those things are so sick, i wish Honda would make them again. Maybe put a CBR600RR motor in it this time to really get them moving.

[@shoominati23]

Put a CR500 engine in it!

[@danielbeavers8701]

The cbr motor would be a little to heavy for this set up. But if they made some adjustments it would be a beast. But I think they should just come out with a improved version with the 400 2 stroke maby put a 500 2 stroke and make a smaller lighter one with the 450 4 stroke then the cbr 600. That way you have 2 from each with different power options. I guess some people would argue that it wouldn't sale well because of the side by sides. But I think they would sale better if you made them the same basic way without all the extras that make a side by side so exspinsive. The side by sides are out of reach for a lot of people who could pick up one of these

@@shoominati23 Damn right, keep it two-stroke!!!! The CR500 is perfect for it!!

[@omarkhamis5028]

this is the best buggy, I love them in the sand dunes.

[@bud385]

Yeah, I've Always LOVED the Honda Pilots from the Very First time I saw one at the Dunes in the Late 80's & you're right, with the right Power plant SO MUCH FUN in the Dunes!

[@AntipodianMusic]

I had one in the 80s. Honda should make these again. Refine it with modern tech and it would sell tons.

[@xsixinfantryx]

Ive always thought the same. They are so much funner than todays side-by-sides. If they made one today it would be pretty damn expensive though. In '89 they msrp'd for about $6000 im pretty sure, which is a little over $12000 in todays money. And if they upgraded it with enough crap to make them compete with the side-by-sides it'd be way higher than that im sure

[@Eastern_SA]

Is there a way to make it two seater. That would be perfect to ride with son.

[@Rolandyeslek]

It’s a shame the audio in this video sucks because those 400 sound amazing

[@oscarperezgonzalez9203]

Hi i recently Aquire one nothing but frame no wheels no suspension do u know were i can find all those parts

[@zayedmazrouei3309]

i want to buy one but i dont know were to buy it

[@moimayamahaetmesnounours]

It's an electric starter ? The 1982 Honda fl250 had a rope starter

[@xsixinfantryx]

I dont think they got electric start until the odyssey fl350r, which came out between your 250 and the pilot fl400r in this video. I dont know too much about the 250, i never had that one. The odyssey and pilot were completely different animals than the 250, i do know that though. These things are so much more fun than the side-by-sides

This guy related to Ralph Spoilsport?

Now say how rare are these?

Boa tarde. Sou valdeci. Brasil Estado do Rio Grande Do Sul. Você gostaria de compartilhar comigo esse projeto. Pois eu gostei muito. Esse projeto é pequeno, leve e de baixo custo. E também tem o fator , peso versos potência. Onde eu posso colocar um motor de 250 cc ou outro motor de 400 cc. É

Use synthetic 2 stroke oil. Little smoke

[@chriswesney]

That is probably the nicest Pilot in the world...Why would you restore it?

[@MrScaredshiftless]

Our customer had one when he was a child.

[@randyrowe4886]

That 20:1 is a joke. I guess back then the oil wasn't like today. 32:1 is what most guys run. Awesome example though. I bet you asked 6 or 7 grand though. Probably got it.

[@Bansheemyk2001]

Probably the douchiest video I've ever seen. Nice machine though!

Look like it would kill a rzr 800

@@thomaswettstein8180 And it STILL smokes too much "dumbass". I have one. It doesn't smoke even half that bad. It's either too rich or needs top end work but whatever the cause it DOES smoke way too much..........dumbass.

[@matthewpowell8284]

Yeah that's def excessive smoke

[@AntipodianMusic]

I'm a mechanic and looks like too much oil in the fuel mix.
