Yes, another case of Honda inventing a solution for a problem that didn’t exist. Fortunately it didn’t catch on :D

The MVX250 was sold by Honda Australia DownUnder when I was working in the spare parts business.
However, they were a ‘problem child’, seizing I seem to recall, and it was impossible to get spares from Japan for them.
Consequently, they VERY quickly developed a bad reputation, and didn’t sell at all well.
I think some owners managed to remedy the issues, and the odd one turns up at a VJMC gathering from time to time.
