I was watching the Imax film Super Speedway today on Mojo HD. Toward the end of the film there's a scene of Mario riding through the pits 8)

This movie was shot over 4 years in the mid 90's.

They look like honda cubs, i.e. EZ90's, there is quite a market for those, 90cc 2 stroke fully automatic, honda sold them for about 5 years or so, maybe 91-96? I remember being at a supercross and the intermission act was 10+ guys racing around the track on those.

You can't see them in the screen grab I posted, but as Mario rides along that fence, there's a TON of those. The red Elite in the pic and the black one that he's riding are the only two bikes that aren't those.
