Honda’s Cumulative Global Motorcycle Production Reaches 200 Million Units

2008-11-15T09:15:52Z

Tokyo, Oct 30, 2008 - (ACN Newswire) - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. announced that Honda’s cumulative worldwide motorcycle production reached the 200 million-unit milestone at the end of September 2008. Honda achieved this milestone in the 60th year since the company began motorcycle production in 1949 with the Dream D-type.

The history of Honda’s motorcycle business began with the start of mass-production of the Dream D-type in 1949. Production outside of Japan began at Honda’s motorcycle plant in Belgium in 1963, and since then Honda has been expanding its local production to many countries around the world based on Honda’s commitment to “build products close to the customer.” Honda first cultivates new markets and establishes a business foundation with motorcycles, which later serves as the foundation of automobile business. Honda currently produces motorcycles at 32 plants in 22 countries around the world. Moreover, Honda established local motorcycle R&D operations in the U.S., Germany, Italy, Thailand, China, and India dedicating its effort to develop motorcycles that meet the needs of local customers.

Honda’s annual worldwide motorcycle sales exceeded 10 million units in 2004, and 2007 sales reached 13.47 million units, a 7% increase from 2006. Honda envisions sales of more than 18 million units in 2010. Toward this end, Honda will continue offering products which fulfill the diversifying needs of customers around the world.

100 posts on Honda Motorcycle blog

2008-11-15T11:49:29Z

I discovered today that I already have 100 posts on the Honda Motorcycle blog and 198 comments, from you, my dear reader! Maybe 100 posts is not much, but this was a long year for me. Plenty of bikers meetings, riding trips, pictures, interviews and most importantly - a very good time riding my 2 Hondas.

I think that unfortunately now, that the riding season is over, the blog might become a little more boring. I’m adding motorcycle specs, special offers on accessories and riding apparel. Some YouTube movies.

But don’t worry, I just need a little warmer weather to get back to the good stuff. I can’t wait for the next season, and I can assure you it’s going to be a hell of the ride!

Funniest Harley Commercial ever

2008-11-13T18:33:24Z

As I said, although I still ride my bike to the office (some sub-zero temperatures in the morning make my days a nightmare) I switched quite heavily to watching Youtube stuff. And this Harley commercial is fantastic. The husband needs to hide when the Harley guy comes :))

And as the commercial says, RESCPECT to Harley riders!

What do you have to do to be noticed in traffic?

Hot Motorcycle Transformation

2008-11-04T21:24:40Z

I’m not sure if I’ve posted before this video, but I remember seeing it last year as well. It’s that time of the year when real rides are replaced by virtual rides on youtube.

Here we go:

2008-11-01T21:35:40Z

As winter is coming close, I would do almost anything to cut the non-backing period. What do you think about some heated gear? For example: Firstgear 65 Watt Heated Liner Jacket

I’m copy pasting the spec below:
Available in sizes for both men and women, Firstgear’s heated jacket liners are wired to work with Firstgear heated gloves. They fit comfortably, operate efficiently, and most importantly, maintain a safe and temperate riding experience. To top it off, a state-of-the-art Heat-troller is also available to vary the output of most other brands of heated apparel better than the original equipment.

So instead of winterizing your motorcycle, keep it on the road by keeping yourself warm with tried-and-true, Firstgear, Warm & Safe heated apparel. Firstgear’s “no one left behind” policy ensures that riders of any model motorcycle can take advantage of the warming effects of heated apparel by choosing between either the 65- or 90-watt versions.

Good for low-amperage bikes or passengers not requiring as much heat as the rider, the 65-watt units minimizes the draw on the bike’s charging system. Features: The Firstgear Heated Liner Jacket is available in 90-watt and 65-watt versions. Designed to be plugged into a DC power source or battery pack. Heat-trollers available to provide you with multiple ways to control the heat output in your heated gear. Exclusive dual-zone heating system allows you to use the single or the dual Heat-troller without rewiring the liner. Liner rated at 110 watts at 12.8 volts. Designed to be worn over a single layer of clothing, a t-shirt or other lightweight garment.

A protective outer jacket should always be worn over it. Built to be temperature neutral, so that you can wear your liner all day and not have to change clothing when you need heat Lightweight soft nylon shell for minimum bulk, non-coasted finish for maximum breathability Form fitting, snug fit for optimum heat transfer to body Heating pads on front, upper and lower back, sleeves and collar for full heat coverage Integrated glove plugs and pants plug stow in their own zippered pockets when not in use Flex panels and action back allow a full range of movement for any activity Fleece inner collar to wick away moisture Packs into its own zippered pouch; included.

2009 Honda ST1300P - Features & Benefits

2008-10-30T18:37:39Z

Law enforcement agencies can now experience what other Honda riders have known all along: Nothing matches Honda’s legendary performance, quality and reliability.

Features & Benefits

Unique features

ABS model combines with Linked Braking System™ (LBS™) for a wide range of braking and steering control. ABS features an electric-motor-driven modulator that gives quick, precise braking-pressure adjustments and smooth ABS operation. The system incorporates an integrated electronic control unit (ECU) controller, self-diagnostics with an interactive ECU test function and automatic protection against system failure.
LBS uses a second master cylinder and a proportional control valve to couple the three-piston calipers of the dual-disc front and single-disc rear brakes for even better braking feel, while providing the peace of mind of LBS. Using the front brake lever activates the outer two pistons of the front calipers and the two outer pistons of the rear caliper. Rear-pedal engagement activates the center piston of the rear brake caliper and the center pistons of the front calipers, and a delay valve slows initial front brake response to minimize front-end dive.
A motor-driven adjustable windscreen offers 7.4 inches and 13 degrees of adjustability for greater wind protection and touring comfort. A thumb-operated pushbutton on the left handlebar operates the windscreen motor. An additional 2.3 inches of manual adjustment is possible by repositioning the windscreen on the mounting brackets.
New special patrol speedometer is graduated in 2-mph increments above 10 mph.
Adjustable three-position dual-density solo seat.
Handlebars raised 25mm and width increased 13.5mm for rider comfort.
Specialized brackets for lights, sirens, antenna mount and radio/electronic equipment.
Rear component cover for electronics weather protection.
Left and right lower engine guards have built-in brackets for mounting accessories.
Right-handlebar-mounted multifunction switch controls.
On/off headlight switch.
8mm side fairing air-deflector set.

Engine/Drivetrain

Compact, powerful 1261cc DOHC 90-degree V-4 produces 125 bhp at 8000 rpm and 85 lb./ft. of torque at 6000 rpm. Longitudinal engine-mounting eliminates an inefficient 90-degree turn in the power flow for improved drivetrain efficiency.
The ST1300P’s low overall center of gravity contributes to improved low-speed handling. The 360-degree crank contributes to a very broad powerband. Two engine counterbalancers virtually eliminate primary and secondary vibration. Both gear-driven counterbalancer shafts are installed in the lower crankcase to the left side of the crankshaft. The first shaft is driven directly by the crankshaft at a 2:1 ratio. The second shaft is positioned below the first and is driven in the opposite direction by the first balancer shaft’s drive gear. The combination of these two balancers assures a supremely comfortable ride.
Aluminum-composite cylinder sleeves are high-pressure-formed from sintered aluminum powder impregnated with ceramic and graphite. The composite sleeves provide better wear resistance and superior heat dissipation compared to conventional sleeves.
Large 31mm intake valves and 27mm exhaust valves feed a combustion chamber with a 10.8:1 compression ratio.
Direct shim-under-bucket valve actuation system ensures high-rpm durability and allows 16,000-mile valve-maintenance intervals.
Four 36mm throttle bodies.
High-pressure programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) delivers fuel at 50 psi into each injector.
Fuel is delivered through eight holes in each injector, producing a very fine spray and a highly combustible air/fuel charge for maximum combustion efficiency and power.
PGM-FI combines a sophisticated throttle sensor, advanced 3-D digital fuel-injection and ignition mapping and precisely metered fuel delivery to produce smooth and linear throttle response.
ECU-controlled closed-loop emissions control system utilizes two oxygen sensors to constantly deliver a precise air/fuel mixture, while two exhaust catalyzers further reduce emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen.
Auto-enriching system is integrated into PGM-FI module, optimizing the air/fuel mixture on cold starts and eliminating the need for a manual choke.
Four-into-two stainless-steel exhaust system features a pair of attractive, triangular-section 5.4-liter mufflers with stainless-steel heat shields.
Dampers on the transmission mainshaft, clutch and driveshaft reduce noise, vibration and driveline lash.
High-output 660-watt air-cooled alternator is relocated between the cylinder banks, contributing to a shorter and more compact engine design.
U-shaped aluminum radiator has excellent cooling capacity; a ring-type fan draws air through the radiator at low speeds to ensure stable operating temperatures for consistent performance and long engine life.
Sturdy eight-plate hydraulic clutch.
Five-speed transmission features gear ratios that allow for quicker acceleration and excellent roll-on performance.
Quiet and reliable shaft-drive system is virtually maintenance-free.

Chassis/Suspension

Rigid aluminum upper triple-clamp and a 45mm Honda Multi-Action System (HMAS) cartridge front fork provide excellent suspension control in a wide range of riding conditions.
The rear suspension incorporates a single shock, which mounts directly onto the swingarm. The shock offers 1.2 inches of spring preload adjustability.
Large 310mm stainless-steel floating front brake discs and 316mm rear disc for ultimate stopping power.
Wheels are three-spoke, U-section cast aluminum. The 5.0-inch-wide rear wheel sports a large, low-profile 170/60ZR-17 radial tire. The 3.5-inch-wide front wheel carries a 120/70ZR-18 radial tire.

Additional Features

Full-coverage bodywork offers superb wind and weather protection, low noise and superior high-speed aerodynamics.
Integrated lockable and detachable saddlebags hold 35 liters each. The saddlebags contain straps to limit bag opening to 90 degrees to better secure the contents. The straps are easily unbuckled when the bags are dismounted, permitting full access.
Rugged, plastic-covered body-protector stays extend outward to protect the bodywork in case of a tip-over.
Dual-section fuel tank places 5.5 gallons of fuel in the conventional tank location with an additional 2.2 gallons located in a sub-tank located low in the chassis. This results in an increase in fuel capacity and creates an even weight distribution for fuel.
Electric fuel pump operates inside the sub-tank, providing consistent fuel pressure for the PGM-FI system.
Headlight features dual lenses with twin-filament H4 low/high-beam bulbs and multireflectors.
A convenient knob located on the left side of the fairing electrically adjusts the headlight angle over a 2.5-degree range.
A locking left-side fairing pocket offers the carrying capacity of an automobile console; a weather-resistant vinyl flap covers the right-side pocket.
Breakaway rear-view mirrors minimize damage in the event of a tip-over.
Convenient centerstand assist-lever folds neatly away when not in use.
Integrated front and rear turn signals.
Integrated ignition switch/fork lock. A single ignition key operates all locks.
Non-transferable three-year, unlimited-mileage limited warranty.
