This photo is from 2001, I believe. This is one of only a few photos that exist of Stewart's secret test session with Honda.

Honda wanted Stewart, so they brought out a factory 125 for him to try. He stayed with Kawasaki as we all know.

Photos were taken by Pete Fox.

Here is more info from Pete Fox on his IG account, his comment from that picture:

foxpetefox Lots of great feedback from my earlier post, so here's one more from that secret Stewart/Honda test session years ago. I believe my pics are the only photos in existence - everything that day was top secret. The Honda team brought out one of their amazing Factory 125s for James to try. They wanted the young prodigy bad, but so did Kawasaki. As we all know, he chose Green. Crazy to think of how every choice we all make in our lives effects our future... Who knows how this might have gone for Stewart if he has chosen Red? As a Moto fan, it's fun to think about...

Here is another pic

Here's a photo I took years ago I bet no one knew about. I found it in a box in the back of my closet yesterday.

I'm guessing these pics/comments from Pete Fox have since been deleted?

Nothing to be seen on his IG account currently...

Hmmm

No wonder he didn't pick the Honda. Suspensions way to soft.

if he would have gone RED, maybe they wouldn't have dumped him at the height of his career forcing him to a blue turd...

Flat tire, too

Too bad Honda couldn't make a fast 125 to save their life

I just cannot ever imagine Stewy on red. Even now, the #7 would so weird on a Honda.

Super cool pics though.
