The ex-Takuma Sato
2004 Honda Dylan 125cc Paddock Scooter
Registration no. RO04 EZG
Frame no. ZDCJF10A04F071697

Designed by Honda R&D Europe, the Dylan is an up-to-the-minute, 'Twist 'n Go' street-smart urban scooter, characterised by racy design and powered by a cutting-edge, water-cooled, low-emissions, four-stroke engine producing a healthy 14bhp. Other noteworthy features include a motorcycle-type front fork, electric starter, belt drive transmission, linked disc brakes and an under-seat luggage compartment with ample space for a helmet. This Honda Dylan was Takuma Sato's paddock scooter during the 2004 Grand Prix season, when the Japanese driver scored 34 points for BAR-Honda, with one podium finish, ending up 8th in the Drivers' Championship. The current vendor purchased the Dylan at Bonhams' Stafford sale in October 2010 (Lot 235) since when it has seen little use. Finished in black with 'Lucky Strike' sponsor's logos, the machine is presented in generally good condition, although in need of some cosmetic tidying and a new battery. It comes complete with owner's manual, service booklet, sundry maintenance invoices, 'smart water' anti-theft, expired MoT certificate (May 2009), Swansea V5C and copies of Dutch registration papers. Prospective purchasers should be aware that should an exported motorcycle come with a V5 or V5C they will have to apply to the DVLA to have the original registration number reallocated. No reserve.
