Honda Displayed More Than Electric Concept Motorcycles at the Tokyo Motor Show

OK, what is this? Number 6 or 7? It's pretty interesting, actually. Honda put on display several petrol-powered motorcycles as well as the nifty EV-Cub. A lovely, wish we had it in the US, Red-White-Blue CBR1000RR (pictured at left). It's not actually gorgeous or anything, just very well done and it makes up for some of the so-called 'piecemeal' look of the fairing. The real beauty, though is certainly the CB1100 'Customize Concept' - the usual, "will it be produced or not" bike - and they had a VFR1200F as well. Another, we-will-not-get-it-in-the- US beast of a road burner has to be the 2010 CB1300 Super Touring. It could be an excellent sport-tourer as is, but the front fairing should be changed a bit, and it could use some more modern features (though I do not have specifications yet). It would be nice to see it compared to the ST1300...Anyway, have a look - pretty pictures follow the link - very shiny.

2009 Tokyo Motor Show Shows Electric Motorcycles

At the Tokyo Motor Show in Japan - yes, another post on this - we have seen some rather creative new electric motorcycle models. Yamaha and Honda seem to be leading the way here, but there are some others in the field now. Have a look - as there are mostly just pictures - and see what may be at your dealer in the future.

Honda Also to Show Electric Scooter and Electric Cub at Tokyo Motor Show

Honda has promised to enter the electric two-wheeled market within 2 years back in December of 2008. Well, they have done it, but no details have been released as to where it will be sold. The new electric Honda EV-Cub is quite lovely to look at, but the EVE-neo scooter looks much more normal. In either case, we are about to have a plethora of electric motorcycles to choose from...amazing!
