Honda Go KartsWhere are all the honda go karts?
Honda Go Karts division would be able to answer this question, but as many ask I will attempt my best guess:The price.In 1989 & 1990 there were plenty of high performance honda go karts available for thousands less than the $5995.00 retail price of the Honda Go kart.
Honda go karts had a difficult time selling the Pilot Honda Go kart and had new Pilots still in their warehouses until 1993. I believe if Honda made new Go karts the price would be above $10,000. These were highly engineered karts and most of the hardware only fits the Pilot Honda Go Kart drifter.
What are the prices on a used honda go kart?
Prices are highest in areas that have a lot of riding areas (West & East Coast). I have seen Honda Go karts for sale in the Midwest for $1000 to $2000 less than the prices on either coast.
Prices range from $4500 to $7000 for original equipped Honda Go kart odyssey depending on condition, on the West coast.
What is considered a "good "condition honda go karts?
I consider the general appearance of the Honda Go kart dune buggy when making this decision. No rust, no bent frame or roll cage, original tires and wheels, the surfaces of the clutch and rear pulley should be smooth ,no grooves(the clutch runs around $350.00 and the pulley is around $450.00). The plastic should be in good condition(all the plastic for the Honda Go Cart runs over a $1000.00).
I prefer Honda Go Cart that are not modified-that way I can do the work myself and don't have to wonder if the previous owner knew what he was doing. If any of the above are not in this condition the price should reflect the repair cost.

Honda Go Kart
In short, the Honda Go kart does everything the FL350 does, just better. The water cooled engine allows you to ride for 2 hours without stopping. With an air cooled engine you have to let it cool at least every 45 minutes.
The independent suspension on the Honda Go kart provides for a very well handling machine and the ride is much smoother. I have found the Pilot to be much more reliable than the FL350. Honda really over engineered the Pilot.
I have owned my first Pilot since 1992 and have rolled it at least 30 separate times with damage only to the tie rods,A-arms and roll cage(all easily repaired or replaced).
No frame,engine or transmission damage has occurred from this. The Honda Go Cart Odyssey's trailing arm suspension would never stand up to the abuse I have put my Pilot through.?Don't get me wrong ,the FL350 is a very capable machine that sells for thousands less than the Pilot Honda Go Cart and is still a lot of fun for the money.
