This is my look back at the evolution of Honda's iconic single-person UTVs.

The Pilots were awesome! I'm surprised they stopped making them.

OG UTV!!! So far ahead of its time. OCScottie built perhaps the trickest Honda Pilot on earth. I know he has pics to share.

My parents had the first red ones with full cage. They felt like rocket ships back then. Good video!

Another great video . I'm a huge fan of the EZ90s but there isn't much info available on them ,i'd be curious what you have in your notes on the honda ez90s

I've always wanted one of those 85' odyssey's or a pilot just to rip around the dunes. Classics for sure.

I have not written it up as a classic steel yet I may if Matthes is OK with it he’s not much of an ATV fan.

I remember Escape Country had what they call an Odyssey track that never got used and eventually they hooked it to the Marty Smith track.

Yea buddy! Remember that day at Argyle? we had such a blast.

I first built a Oddessy and thought i was gonna beat Pilots, boy was i mistaken! It was fun though, but i am paying for it now, its probably the reason my spine is so jacked up.

Check out this pic, i got to race on my home track Hollister Hills GP track from the Fox Dream On poster, see the turn in the bottom of the poster? Thats what i am railing. I lapped up to 4th place and caught the biggest air, the crowd was going nuts, i put on a good show that day. Cool

Get this, after the moto a lady came up to me and asked, "how does your wheelchair fit in there?" LOL

I rode one that was stretched with fox coilovers and an 800 sled motor. It walked away from my 450 while doing a wheelstand. They had trouble keeping the EGT down, but was such a hoot.
