The 1985 Honda V65 Sabre stood out from the crowd not only because of its record-shattering quarter mile performance ( around 11 seconds) but also because it was powered by a V-4 engine in a crowd of inline 4 cylinders competitors

It was a high performance machine that brake the mold:

Not a cruiser, standard or a sport bike, it has a style on its own and boasted the kind of stump pulling engine performance that the inline four of the day couldn't match

The power plant feature liquid-cooling twin cam heads, six speed gearbox and a low maintenance shaft final drive

Pumping a walloping 121 HP , the mighty Sabre can launch from a standstill to 50 miles per hour in just 2.31 seconds   

In addition , the 90-degreeV-4 package is physically narrower than the transverse four cylinder engines and the Sabre's forward bank of cylinders help ensure sufficient front-end weight bias for excellent steering 

The chassis components are equally impressive, cast six spokes wheels front and back, single shock rear suspension and a beefy 41 mm leading fork with TRAC anti dive system

On top of that the Sabre was smooth , versatile and comfortable enough for touring

The Honda CB1100 has only been available in the U.S. for a year now, but it’s already getting an update as well as a Deluxe variant for 2014. Honda’s retro-styled roadster carries on the lineage of the CB750 Four, with a number of important changes.

Crossover Honda CRF450R again upgraded

Wed, 24 May 2017

The first update is related to the kickstarter, or rather, its absence: now the “single-barrel” in the basic version is started by an electric starter with a very light Li-ion battery. The second difference of the newly rejuvenated CRF450R is the suspension with changed settings - obviously, it steers more fun and perky than before.

Honda Reminds Us It's Working On A New Hornet

Mon, 06 Jun 2022

Expect the production model at EICMA in November One of the biggest surprises at the 2021 EICMA show last November was the news Honda is working on a new Hornet model. At its booth in Milan, Honda presented a sculpture with an elaborate light show projecting a hint at what to expect from the new Hornet. In the six months following EICMA, however, there has been very little, er, “buzz”, coming from Honda.
