those honda bikes were all destroyed by honda when the team was dissolved. they got crushed like old cars to keep their tech. a secret.

mtnbykr05 (Dec 16, 2007 at 20:34)

They were destroyed yes, but not to keep their tech a secret. They completely revealed exactly how it works. Like a derailleur and a cassette in a box. Check it out on mtbcut.tv

Actually all of the bikes were not destroyed. Many of the Japanese employees still have them, as well as Minnaar and Matti. Honda claimed they were detroyed to stop people trying to get one.
