Mr . SCH

Mr . SCHMITT . Absolutely , and there is a warning label on the ma chine to that effect . Mr . BARNARD . Warning labels on the machine ? Mr . SCHMITT . Yes , sir . Mr . BARNARD . Do all of you have the same warning labels ?

MITT . Typically , all the machines indicate very stressfully that it is an off - road unit not to be used on the pavement , no pas sengers , wear a helmet , don ' t drink or use drugs , and other things .

Mr . BARNARD . There was an indication this morning by one of the Commissioners that now that you are going to four - wheel vehi cles that you already have seen the error of your ways and now you are going to gradually , you know , get into four - wheel vehicles and way down yonder we won ' t see any more three - wheel ATV ' s . Is that the right interpretation of what you are doing ?

Mr . GLYNN . I think it is a wrong interpretation of what we are doing . Mr . BARNARD . I see .

Mr . GLYNN . In the very beginning we tested two - , three - , four - , actually up to five - wheel vehicles .

Mr . BARNARD . Five wheels ? Mr . GLYNN . Yes . They used two in the back and one in the front .

Mr . BARNARD . What about six ? One in the back and one in the front , you know ?

Mr . GLYNN . In any case , and through that testing process , they decided on three . But they realized , especially from a utility point of view , that four may also be a possibility . Then recently , we feel so much competition from Suzuki , so we have four - wheelers . And they are each vehicles that have a market . They appeal to different groups within that market . And so , yes , there is a growth in the four - wheelers and - -

Mr . BARNARD . But you are not calling that a recreational vehicle , are you ?

Mr . GLYNN . There are both . The ATV , whether it is a four or a three , has this kind of a broad versatility , so most all of them are used for both recreation and utility . Mr . CRAIG . Mr . Chairman ? Mr . BARNARD . I would be delighted to yield to the gentleman .

Mr . CRAIG . Specific to that question , that statement that was made this morning by one of the Commissioners that this was in dicative of your sensing a market and a problem - not a market , but a problem , and therefore , you are transitionalizing yourself out of three - wheelers and your response .

Could you tell me the difference in price between a 250R Honda , which I think is the top of the line in your three - wheeler , and the - I will get to it here the Odyssey 350 ? Can you tell me ap proximate retail price difference ?

Mr . GLYNN . The 250R is $ 2 , 298 , as I recall . The four - wheeler , the 350 you referred to , that is around $ 2 , 900 , but I am not that is my best judgment at this moment .

Mr . CRAIG . And the 125 is approximately what price ? Mr . GLYNN . Is that the 125M ? Mr . CRAIG . The 125M . Mr . GLYNN . I think that is $ 1 , 298 .
