Honda Motorcycle unveiled eight world premieres at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show 2009 on October 21. The CB1100 was developed for discriminating adults as a new standard Naked model featuring an aircooled inline four-cylinder engine. “Generosity” was a keyword of this model’s development, and rather than aiming strictly for high-spec performance, its riding feel and eye-catching styling, both at stop and on the move, were also all carefully considered. The CB1300 BOL D’OR features a more upright riding position and a newly redesigned rear cowl adorned with new left and right side split grab rails. A Combined-ABS version is also available. The EV-CUB delivers ample power through the electric motors integrated into both its wheels and the batteries mounted in its aluminum frame. The EVE-neo is an EV concept model designed for business use, such as post and delivery services. Its symbolic design combines a clean, modern New Value image and rugged, reliable styling.

Read the full review at: www.motorcycle.com Since the 1980s when Japanese V-Twins began in earnest to whittle away from Harley-Davidson’s customer base, a lot of discussion has evolved into what is now a perennial debate about who makes a better cruiser. It’s been a four-against-one prize match, and HD has more than held its own, but that doesn’t stop the Japanese from making motorcycles more and more like the original… Read the entire shootout at: www.motorcycle.com
Full Review: www.motorcycle.com The Honda Gold Wing is a veritable icon among touring motorcycles, offering an unrivaled blend of two-up luxury conveyance and a level of sporting prowess unheard of from a 900-pound bike. It’s a combo of capabilities that hasn’t been matched by any other touring bike. More than 640000 GLs have been sold since its introduction way back in 1975, becoming an American-made motorcycle in 1980 with the GL1100 model that was built in Marysville, Ohio… www.motorcycle.com

To demonstrate the reliability of the Cub, the presentors dry to destroy it, using several methods: Mess up the egine: By draining all the oil and replacing it with normal cooking oil, the engine should crack up. Fortunate for the CUB it still manage to work even after riding a couple of miles. Overload: In the next effort to destroy the CUB, it was overloaded with 200 kilograms, which it could withstand flawlessly. Drastic measures: In the final attempt to kill the CUB, it was thrown of a 22 meters tall building. When the CUB collapses it hit the ground with a staggering 54 Mph speed. Although part of the framework and the wheels get severely damaged, the true measure of its quality is to try to get the engine running… it may not surprise you that after inserting the ignition key and gently applying the kickstarter, this incredible strong vehicle starts without a cough. In a final statement the presentor says that it would probably only gets destroyed by using C4 plastic explosive.

A raw footage ride along with Cycle World Magazine Road Test Editor Don Canet for a full session at the Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa press intro staged at the Assen Circuit, home to the Dutch TT. Note the tire’s quick warm up characteristics (tire warmers were not used) as Don heads out in the cool conditions and light drizzle. Once a feel for the bike and level of grip has been acquired, the pace heats. Always good fun putting it to your fellow International moto journalist while on the track!
Question: Vintage motorcycles to restore, bobber style. Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha ?
I’m in the market for a vintage motorcycle. I really like the bobber-look, minimal frame & solo seat. I’m not looking for a ton of power as I only ride around town (never on the freeway!). I currently own a Honda CT70 that goes 50 on flat ground,but a bit more power and slightly larger frame would be ideal. (I don’t think you can really call the CT70 a “motorcycle”).
I’ve found a few different bikes in my price range by various makes. Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha. Which is the best? Is one better than the other in terms of reliability, quality, value, service,and parts availability?
I’m currently looking at a 1975 Kawasaki 175 Enduro and a 1979 Yamaha XS 650. Thanks for any insight you can offer on these bikes and the value of the manufacturers.

Answer by tom T
if you can get a 75 enduro completely redone would be worth as much as the 650 good luck
Question: Can a 234cc Honda Nighthawk “250″ be legally ridden on a freeway in Texas?
Texas law defines a “motor driven cycle” as any motorcycle with less than a 250cc engine, and these are not allowed on freeways. But most “250s” sold by manufacturers have displacements of from 234-249cc. Does Texas have some sort of official designation where bikes in that range are considered to be “motor driven cycles” or are they considered to be “motorcycles” (250cc+). Has anyone ever gotten a ticket for riding a “250″, like a 234cc Honda Nighthawk CBR250 on a freeway in Texas?
Answer:
Answer by Yes I am here!!
that 250 would be legal.
Question: How can I beat the Honda Goldwing stigma?
I have already removed all visible “Honda” and “Goldwing” badges and labels on my GL 1500, and placed “Harley-Davidson” badges and stickers on my bike. I know I won’t fool a real biker, but I just want to impress ordinary people and not be embarrassed about driving a Goldwing. What else do you recommend?
