Our man in Tokyo checks in after discovering where Honda engineers get their design cues from

2010 Honda VFR1200F world launch test
By Mark Forsyth on 04/06/2010 12:34:57
One of motorcycling’s worst kept secrets - Honda’s top-secret VFR1200F. Visordown were among the chosen few to ride it at the Sugo circuit in Japan
A race circuit seemed like a strange place to launch a 265kg bike with a 1545mm wheelbase but the spec sometimes only tells part of the story.The VFR1200F feels noticeably smaller than a Pan Euro and fractionally bigger than a VFR800. Its pork

Milan Show: Honda Crossrunner
By mark forsyth on 02/11/2010 09:36:06
800cc V4 Adventure bike
This is the new Honda Crossrunner 800. Honda are at pains to point out that it's not an off-roader or even a soft roader but a new type of adventure sports machine.The biggest clues to this tarmac-only focus are the 17in road wheels and street tyres

Any questions at the back?
We're off on the World launch of Honda's V-4 Crosstrourer tomorrow. Hopefully, it's not blowing a blizzard in Barcelona.Bearing in mind the well-established competition this bike already has, it's launching itself into a bear-pit of a market where

Wanted: Honda Motocompo
By mark forsyth on 07/12/2011 14:09:15
Square to be hip
Motocompo was made to fit inside the boot of the Mk1 Honda Jazz. The Jazz’ boot was actually developed around the Motocompo. The handlebars, seat, and foot-pegs fold into the scooter's rectangular plastic body to create a package that’s just over a metre

First track impressions
Just got back in after our first track session on the new 2012 Fireblade.Portimao has had quite lot of rain recently and even though it's dry now there's very little grip which is a bit tricky bearing in mind we've got some new Bridgestone S20

Honda Ev-Neo

Eclectic electric
I get all the best jobs, me.We're here in Barcelona to ride Honda's new 18.5mph EV-neo all-electric scooter. It's a bit of a weird event in that it's not on sale yet, it may never come to the UK and there's no mention of predicted pricing. Us

Legalizing cannabis is clearly a good thing

First Ride: Honda Crossrunner
By mark forsyth on 31/03/2011 16:32:37
Lukewarm reception but a stonking road bike for the real world
Just got back from a pretty hard-core 120 mile ride on the new Honda Crossrunner and these are my findings. Are you sitting comfortably?Last night at the unveiling and press conference there was a bit of a murmur going round the assembled hacks
