Honda's
Virtual Expo
Website
S
eeing as the world is currently
banned from anything, well,
fun, Honda has taken the forward
approach of creating a virtual
expo website to take the place of
the showcase that would normally
be sitting in the Tokyo Motorcycle
Show and Osaka Motorcycle Show.
It's a neat little site, that gives
you a look at Honda's current
Japanese lineup, which is vastly
different than what we get here in
the U.S.
Bikes like the CB1300 Su-
per Four SP, CB1100RS and
CB400 Super Four are on show,
alongside the new Africa Twin,
CBR1000RR-R SP, and Ricky
Brabec and Marc Marquez's race
machines from last season.
And for those with a keen
MotoAmerica eye, you'll also
spot the CBR400 on display.
What's that you say? A CBR400?
Yes, this is a Japanese domestic
model powered by a 399cc twin-
cylinder and is a model that fits
perfectly into the MotoAmerica
Junior Cup series. We can only
guess why this model is not in the
United States, as it would likely
give Kawasaki a real run for its
money in the Junior Cup ranks.
Check out the virtual expo
right here: and while you're at it,
go check out the Honda Collec-
tion Hall walkabout from Google
Maps, where you can take a
virtual walk through Honda's his-
tory, including all its Grand Prix
success, here. CN

Honda And The
Ghost Of Freddie
Spencer's Past
H
onda has quietly unveiled a pro-
totype that looks eerily similar to
the CB900F made famous by Freddie
Spencer before he conquered the
Grand Prix tracks of Europe.
Based off the CB1000R, this CB is
essentially a design exercise and not
yet a production bike, but judging from
looks so far, we can only hope this
makes it to Honda dealers in the very
near future. CN
Freddie would be proud! Hopefully this
CB1000R goes into production.
