Soichiro Honda called two-strokes “stink wheels". His engineers built one anyway – after hours, in secret, under the codename Project 335. They bought a Husqvarna as the target. They raced the prototype in disguise in 1971, and it broke down — and the press recognised it anyway. Two years later the bike reached America. Then Honda’s own factory team refused the works racers and demanded showroom bikes instead. #OneLungRacing #2Stroke #Elsinore #CR250M #HondaElsinore #Honda #VintageMX #Motocross #TwoStroke #MotorcycleHistory #GaryJones #ClassicHonda #70sMotocross #DirtBike #VintageMotocross #MXHistory #SoichiroHonda #RestoMod #MotoHistory #BikeLife #TwoStrokeLife #ClassicMotorcycle #Braap
