• r 00 Honda four strokes the Cowbell rtationaI Enduro. They're at it again! Two weeks after their 1-2-3 sweep of the Cal State National Enduro, Team Honda and their incredible four-stroke XR enduro bikes once again dominated. This week it was the Cowbell National Enduro on Mt. Baker, outside of . Bellingham, Washington. Don Sanford took the overall win aboard his modified Honda XR500 while teammate . Rick Munyon ran off with 250A class honors on his modified .XR250. That makes two events .in a row for the Team Honda four-strokers, one in the blistering desert and this time up near the timberline. And twice in 15 days they 've left the defending national champion in their wake. It was cold and wet as the riders made their early morning start. Almost immediately they found themselves in a forest so thick that they needed their headlights to help light the trail. But that didn't slow down Team Honda. Their sweet-sounding XR's snaked through the demanding, tight forest sections. Flew down fireroads and logging trails. Blasted over slippery rock-infested uphills. And danced cleanly to the bottom of log-strewn downhills. And when it was all over, they were on top once more. . The Revolution is off and running. The Honda XR FourStroke Revolution. Theres the explosive XR500, available in February. The lightweight XR185, available in December. And the dazzling XR250 that's just been released. All three of these potent new four-strokes are enduro-ready right off the showroom floor, which makes them trail-ready as well. And each XR has its own optional Genuine Honda High-Performance Kit. Whether you like to spend your off-road weekends keeping on time, or making time fly, the new 1979 Honda XR four-strokes are going to help you do it right.
