He would later sell his first NSX but that was not the end as he later revealed in Honda’s latest video that he currently owns 2 NSXs in his garage. Besides the couple of NSXs, he also owns four pristine, low-mileage DC2 Integra Type Rs, an S2000 Club Racer, and a Honda Cub bike.
Bryan bought the Cub bike sight unseen from online auction website, Bring a Trailer. He was inspired by Honda founder Soichiro Honda both as a fan and an engineer. The Cub bike was essentially a motorized bicycle kit with the engine and the petrol tank all made from army surplus parts following the end of World War II.
