Hey Folks - Can anyone tell me why i should buy a Pilot fl400r as apposed to buying a.n.other buggy as im in the uk and they are fetching between £3500 - £5500 each - Can you still get parts for these old girls? & if so where as i seem to hit a brick wall - i have loved these machines for years but never been able to afford one as a kid but i am now 6ft 2in and wonder if i will fit in one? - lastly how fast are they? - can anyone help? - Thanks Rich

G'Day Rich,contact leegb,he has a couple there and vast experience with them.You blokes could be right around the corner from each other ...Baz

Pilots are a good buggy for the price. Parts are available in the US but some are becoming harder to find. One source is www.servicehonda.com, don't know if they sell internationally.

At 6'2" you should fit fine. I am 6'6" do not have too much trouble squeezing in. My 68 year old dad who is also 6'6" can get in and out, but it is pretty tight for him.

Top speed is around 60 MPH give or take.

Hey Rich
i'm also in the UK.....pilots are the best buggies in the UK unless you want to spend £10,000 on a Rage machine....
i can source you a pilot from the US if you want and i also carry large amount of spare parts....i can also put you in contact with other part suppliers in the UK.
Email at pbalz@hotmail.com if your interested...

thanks
Pete

Guys thanks for the response! - i can see this could well be the buggy im looking for. Pete where are you based in the uk as i am very interested in a Pilot (are you a shop owner?) - Are Pilots any cheaper in the US than the UK - also is there any events for Pilots to enter in or any clubs to join for like minded fun seekers.

60mph!! sounds fun

Are there any common faults with Pilots that i would need to know?

Many Thanks Rich
