Honda Motorcycle Reviews

For the last half of the day’s road riding on the Crosstourer launch I jumped on the DCT version. It’s easy to spot as it doesn’t have a clutch lever and there’s a weird handbrake contraption on the left hand handlebar.

The ultimate buyer’s guide for Honda's 929cc and 954cc RRY, RR1, RR2 and RR3 Fireblades. The ultimate Honda CBR900RR Fireblade review.

Where to start? Well, let’s look at the facts first – or at least a very quick paraphrase of Honda’s lengthy NC700X mission statement. There’s a lot going on here – so much so that Honda officials felt the need to show us a ‘word cloud’ to help explain the bike’s positioning. I hope I never hear that phrase ever again.

Pointy-nosed, aggressive and ultra-compact, the 2012 Fireblade CBR1000RR looks gorgeous in the flesh.

Is it a scooter? Is it a motorcycle?

Honda enters the 250 arena with the CBR250R. Should the Ninja 250R be scared?

For three years, Kawasaki's Ninja 250R has been the class leader of the 250s. That's because it only had the Hyosung GT250R to compete against. It surprises me that the big four Japanese manufacturers haven't pounced on this sector like they did with 125s.

The return of the renowned CBR600F or just a full-faired Hornet?

Honda's reworked VFR800 in a new 'Adventure' guise

You probably know someone that has, at one stage in their biking life, owned a Honda CBR600F. First launched in 1987, it has been the bedrock of middleweight Honda sales, but, unlike the VFR or NC models, it never really got cult status. It’s never been ‘a must own’ and yet tens of thousands of us have owned one.

There are some things that even nostalgia can’t fix: double-denim, the mullet, Hondamatic. No matter which way you look at it, there was no excuse for any of them.

The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Luxury is supposed to be a tourer par excellence, so what did our riding pair think of its performance in the Lake District?

In the age when Valentino Rossi openly disapproves of all electronic aids in MotoGP, Honda launches a totally new ABS-system, developed specifically for sportsbikes. Meet the 2009 Fireblade CBR1000RR C-ABS.
