			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Honda went on the record December 2008, when CEO Takeo Fukui said his company would produce an electric motorcycle in about two years time (<a href="http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/3/2003/Motorcycle-Article/Honda-Plans-for-Electric-Motorcycle.aspx">Honda Plans for Electric Motorcycle</a>). Now Big Red has unveiled two potential EV models – the EVE-neo scooter and EV-Cub. Both units will make their official debuts at the upcoming 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, October 24.</p>
<p><strong>Honda EV-Cub</strong> <a rel="attachment wp-att-486" href="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/electric-honda-cub-scooter-set-for-tokyo/honda-ev-cub-electric-motorcycle-11-2/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-486" title="honda-ev-cub-electric-motorcycle-11" src="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/honda-ev-cub-electric-motorcycle-111.jpg" alt="honda-ev-cub-electric-motorcycle-11" width="200" height="157" /></a></p>
<p>Should <a href="http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/286/Motorcycles/Honda-Motorcycles.aspx">Honda</a> enter the electric motorcycle market, it seems fitting that the Cub carry the charge. The most-sold vehicle in human history at 65 million and growing, the Honda Cub has already left a permanent mark on internal combustion transportation – could the Honda EV-Cub do the same in electric transportation?</p>
<p>The EV-Cub “electric motorcycle” will be one of the featured vehicles at the Honda Tokyo Motor Show booth in the HELLO! Zone. Standing for Honda Electric mobility Loop, the HELLO! display incorporates <a rel="attachment wp-att-485" href="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/electric-honda-cub-scooter-set-for-tokyo/honda-ev-cub-electric-motorcycle-10/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-485" title="honda-ev-cub-electric-motorcycle-10" src="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/honda-ev-cub-electric-motorcycle-10.jpg" alt="honda-ev-cub-electric-motorcycle-10" width="200" height="148" /></a>many facets of zero-CO2 technology. Honda describes the HELLO! Zone as: “a comprehensive display of Honda&#8217;s electromotive technologies, including automobiles, motorcycles, power products, and more-everything from products that supply electricity to products that incorporate electronic technologies. By linking solar panels that supply electricity with battery electric vehicles that emit zero CO2 in use, Honda envisions the low-carbon society of the near future. In addition, each HELLO! vehicle features interactive communication technologies that showcase the fun ways in which mobility devices can interact with people and society.”</p>
<p><strong>Honda EVE-neo Scooter</strong> <a rel="attachment wp-att-488" href="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/electric-honda-cub-scooter-set-for-tokyo/honda-ev-cub-electric-motorcycle-4/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-488" title="honda-ev-cub-electric-motorcycle-4" src="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/honda-ev-cub-electric-motorcycle-4.jpg" alt="honda-ev-cub-electric-motorcycle-4" width="200" height="153" /></a></p>
<p>Another candidate for electric production to debut at Tokyo is the EVE-neo <a href="http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/469/Motorcycles/Honda-Scooters.aspx">Honda scooter</a>. It looks more conventional than the EV-Cub, though it’s difficult to make out many details from the photos. Honda’s explanation of the new design is terse, saying the EVE-neo scooter “achieves clean and tough performance that only an electric-powered scooter can provide.”</p>
<p>Also slated for display at Tokyo is the Honda PCX scooter, which features a “idling stop system,” which shuts down the IC engine at idle. As previously reported the PCX will be available in Taiwan and other <a rel="attachment wp-att-487" href="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/electric-honda-cub-scooter-set-for-tokyo/honda-ev-cub-electric-motorcycle-3/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-487" title="honda-ev-cub-electric-motorcycle-3" src="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/honda-ev-cub-electric-motorcycle-3.jpg" alt="honda-ev-cub-electric-motorcycle-3" width="200" height="176" /></a>Asian markets, as well as Europe and America (though the US version will not come without the headlining &#8220;idle stop&#8221; function.)</p>
<p>Again, details will await Honda’s release of more information. Stay tuned.</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-472" href="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/2009-motocross-of-nations-saturday-heats/mxon-tedesco-1/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-472" title="MXoN-Tedesco-1" src="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/MXoN-Tedesco-1.jpg" alt="MXoN-Tedesco-1" width="260" height="329" /></a>Team Italy leads the 2009 Red Bull Motocross of Nations after Saturday&#8217;s heats. Tony Cairoli (MX1), Davide Guarneri (MX2), and David Philippaerts (MX3) finished first, 10th and first respectively, in their heat races. The finals are tomorrow, with the heats for bragging rights and gate picks.</p>
<p>Saturday&#8217;s gate picks were done at random, and Team USA was nearly last, giving Ryan Dungey, Jake Weimer, and Ivan Tedesco a significant disadvantage. The team finished sixth overall after struggling with come-from-behind efforts in the MX1 and MX2 heats.</p>
<p>Tedesco actually pulled off a great start from the outside in the MX3 heat, but finished fifth after a battle with the UK&#8217;s Shaun Simpson. Team USA&#8217;s manager Roger DeCoster was still pleased with what they were able to pull out together from bad gate picks.</p>
<p>Saturday&#8217;s crowd was simply huge, as large as any MXoN Saturday to date, if not larger. A good conservative estimate would be at least 25,000. And this is just Saturday!</p>
<p>Team France is second overall. Their results were Steve Frossard fourth (MX1), Marvin Musquin first (MX2), and Gautier Paulin second (MX3).</p>
<p>Tonight Youthstream is organizing the FIM Off Road Awards in the paddock.</p>
<p>Scratch the Alessi to Australian SX rumor from yesterday, that one is not confirmed. He is skipping US Supercross in 2010 and plans on doing the first 3 GPs on a KTM 350.</p>
<p>The newest buzz has Chad Reed possibly signing on as Ryan Villapoto&#8217;s teammate on Monster Energy Kawasaki, and the deal includes Monster Energy support for Reed&#8217;s Australian Supercross series. It&#8217;s not clear if he is signing on for SX only again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ahead of the grand finale of the 2009 Red Bull Air Race World Championship on 3-4 October in Barcelona, Red Bull Air Race pilot Alejandro Maclean and Dani Pedrosa got together for a chat. But words were n</p>
<p>Pedrosa came third in last year’s MotoGP World Championship and broke a world ot <a rel="attachment wp-att-431" href="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/pedrosa-stars-in-unique-air-and-ground-duel/n502966_pedrosa/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-431" title="n502966_pedrosa" src="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/n502966_pedrosa.jpg" alt="n502966_pedrosa" width="210" height="155" /></a>enough for the two Spanish stars as they ended up duelling each other in the air and on the ground.record earlier this year during free practice at Mugello when he hit a speed of 349.3km/h (217.1mph) – about the same pace that Red Bull Air Race pilots reach in their tracks flying just metres over the ground.</p>
<p>The Spanish rider, who has just celebrated his 24th birthday, will also be competing this weekend at Estoril in Portugal. Pedrosa was delighted to sample the high speed motorsport thrill of a different kind by first flying alongside Maclean in another race plane and then later racing against the Spanish Red Bull Air Race ace on his motorbike.<a rel="attachment wp-att-432" href="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/pedrosa-stars-in-unique-air-and-ground-duel/04_1_0/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-432" title="04_1_0" src="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/04_1_0.jpg" alt="04_1_0" width="210" height="155" /></a></p>
<p>Pedrosa took off from the Red Bull Air Race Airport located in Sabadell, a town near Barcelona where he was born and grew up. He got a taste of air racing and high-G manoeuvres in a two-seater passenger plane flown by another Spaniard, Sergio Pla, while Maclean flew nearby in his MXS-R plane. They communicated via radio as Maclean talked Pedrosa through a few race manoeuvres.</p>
<p>Pedrosa admitted that he felt slightly queasy after the flight which included several loops and subjected him to forces reaching as high as 6G. “The G-force is really<a rel="attachment wp-att-433" href="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/pedrosa-stars-in-unique-air-and-ground-duel/05_0_0/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-433" title="05_0_0" src="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/05_0_0.jpg" alt="05_0_0" width="210" height="156" /></a> impressive,” said Pedrosa after the flight. “You really feel it in the pit of your stomach”.</p>
<p>But the action didn’t stop there. Immediately after landing, Pedrosa jumped out of the cockpit and on to his Honda MotoGP bike while Maclean stayed aloft. Pedrosa then went head-to-head against his country’s fastest pilot on Barcelona’s MotoGP race track at Montmelo in a unique bike vs. plane battle.</p>
<p>A straight section of the Montmelo circuit provided the 700 metre race track. It was a close race but Maclean’s plane which is capable of reaching speeds of over 400 km/h was declared the winner.<a rel="attachment wp-att-435" href="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/pedrosa-stars-in-unique-air-and-ground-duel/pedrosa01_2_0/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-435" title="pedrosa01_2_0" src="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/pedrosa01_2_0.jpg" alt="pedrosa01_2_0" width="210" height="155" /></a></p>
<p>Both sportsmen wished each other luck in their respective races on the weekend and agreed that remaining focused is the key to success.</p>
<p>Maclean who has had some promising races this year and took a season-best 7th place among the 15 pilots at the last race in Porto, currently stands 12th in the championship.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The perennial darling of the enthusiast press and racers alike, the CRF450R      returns in 2010 to take its rightful place at the head of the class. With      class-leading power and handling, the CRF450R features the perfect blend of      power, suspension and handling for a genuine revolution in the premier motocross      class. No wonder the award-winning CRF450R has won more magazine shootouts      than any motocrosser in modern history.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left">It&#8217;s the chopper you would build for yourself&#8211;if you had a      factory instead of a garage. Introducing the Fury, a machine that radiates      attitude and delivers a total riding experience approaching the outer limits      of motorcycling. Welcome to the wild side&#8211;of Honda.</p>
<p align="left">With hand-built appearances radical enough to turn every head and catch every      eye, only the Fury dares to open the door to the most extreme level of custom      looks. But once you&#8217;re rolling, the Fury experience is all about that special      bond between rider and machine: the unmistakable big V-twin pulse, the characteristic      Vee engine note and the no-nonsense riding stance bring you back to the core      elements of riding.</p>
<p align="left">Destined to become a milestone machine, the Fury captures the pure, undiluted      chopper essence, places it within easy reach of nearly every rider and then      backs it up with the same quality and reliability built into every Honda.      It&#8217;s a radical concept in a unique package, a combination never before offered&#8211;until      today.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>2010 Fury Development Story<a rel="attachment wp-att-382" href="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/2010-honda-fury/2010-honda-furyb/"><img class="alignright size-large wp-image-382" title="2010-Honda-Furyb" src="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2010-Honda-Furyb-1024x682.jpg" alt="2010-Honda-Furyb" width="310" height="204" /></a></strong></p>
<p>The process of designing a new motorcycle always encompasses a huge array      of factors and considerations. A profusion of calculations, measurements,      specifications and more must be weighed, analyzed, dissected and crunched      together to yield the proper result. However, one key factor that cannot be      quantified in empirical terms always comes into play: a passion for the machine.      And at Honda, our designers and engineers carry a passion for motorcycles      to the extreme. So when they get the green light to give full force to such      passions, some pretty wild things can happen.</p>
<p>Welcome to the wild side of Honda, where a passion for riding reigns supreme      in the stunningly creative 2010 Fury. Here we have a machine packed with radical      lines and a head-turning look, a motorcycle destined to become a milestone      machine. The Fury is the offspring of people who get excited about creating      new motorcycles, enthusiasts who understand what it means to get really involved      with a machine. The Fury captures the pure, undiluted chopper essence, a genre      of motorcycle that simply feels right, looks right and sounds right when it&#8217;s      done well, rather than a precise formula that&#8217;s captured with a micrometer      and calipers.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-383" href="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/2010-honda-fury/2010-honda-furyc/"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-383" title="2010-Honda-Furyc" src="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2010-Honda-Furyc-1024x683.jpg" alt="2010-Honda-Furyc" width="249" height="165" /></a>Choppers have been a part of the motorcycling scene for decades, but for      the most part they&#8217;ve occupied a niche on the farthest edges of the sport.      The first such machines were cobbled-up home-builts with a reputation for      being crudely wrought and uncomfortable to ride. Since then choppers have      evolved into rolling art, with true customs commanding a very high price.      That&#8217;s the beauty of the Fury. Even though it looks like rolling art from      the two-wheeled world, it is backed up with the same functionality, fit and      finish, quality and reliability built into every Honda.</p>
<p>Tapping into an extensive legacy of experience in building motorcycles of      all types, Honda&#8217;s engineers devised a design and incorporated technological      advantages to make the Fury handle, function and ride according to Honda standards.      Although stunning and daring in its visuals, the Fury is great fun to ride,      with a look, feel and sound that place the rider squarely in the chopper domain.      It&#8217;s a Honda and you can use it like any other Honda, yet it carries attitude      and looks to the extreme.</p>
<p>Better yet, this breakthrough motorcycle rests within easy reach of nearly      every rider; in terms of affordability the Fury does indeed break new ground.      It&#8217;s a radical concept in a unique package, an affordable combination never      before offered to the average motorcycle owner&#8211;until today.</p>
<p>The most obvious attraction to the Fury centers on its raked-out <a rel="attachment wp-att-386" href="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/2010-honda-fury/2010-honda-furyh/"><img class="alignright size-large wp-image-386" title="2010-Honda-Furyh" src="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2010-Honda-Furyh-1024x673.jpg" alt="2010-Honda-Furyh" width="305" height="199" /></a>chopper      styling: high-mount steering head that gives the frame a see-through, open-air      look with plenty of breathing room between the tank/upper frame and the front      cylinder head; slim and long fuel tank perched up high; ultra-low 26.7-inch      seat height; big-time rake; fat 200-series rear tire paired with a slim 21-inch      front wheel; a condensed, hard-tail look to the rear end; and a stretched      wheelbase. And that long wheelbase is no illusion&#8211;the Fury stretches a full      71.2 inches between axles. Perhaps equally important is that a close-up inspection      of the Fury reveals remarkably clean lines, a Spartan return to basics plus      superior attention to detail that together create the distinct impression      of a full-on hand-built custom bike, but at a mere fraction of the cost.</p>
<p>In truth, creation of the Fury posed a considerable challenge. This ground-breaking      concept had to strike a delicate balance. The extended chopper look with its      stretched wheelbase and exaggerated steering rake combines with the stellar      levels of function that are part of every Honda. The design focus began with      the high steering head/pronounced steering rake/open look in the front end      and then radiated outward from there. With such a visually stunning appearance,      the final incarnation of the Fury required a significant amount of communication      and cooperation between the styling team in the USA at Honda Research Americas      (HRA) and the Honda engineers at HGA in Japan. Original sketches and clay      mock-ups were tweaked and refined in innumerable ways, leading to small but      elegantly simple feats of engineering wizardry that were performed to achieve      the goal.</p>
<p>For example, to maintain the remarkably uncluttered look <a rel="attachment wp-att-389" href="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/2010-honda-fury/2010-honda-furyd/"><img class="alignright size-large wp-image-389" title="2010-Honda-Furyd" src="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2010-Honda-Furyd-1024x580.jpg" alt="2010-Honda-Furyd" width="310" height="174" /></a>between the front      cylinder and the front downtube/radiator area, the top radiator hose is hidden      away beneath the front valve cover&#8211;a patented idea that illustrates the extreme      efforts expended on maintaining the airy look of the front end. Other examples      are the long, slim and voluptuous look of the fuel tank, which had to be adjusted      and modified repeatedly along with handlebar shape and size to allow the appropriate      amount of steering clearance when the front wheel is turned from stop-to-stop.      The design of each separate element shares cascading effects with other interrelated      parts, resulting in a fluidity of design.</p>
<p>In similar fashion, the rear end of the bike had to look just right, yet      still function like a Honda. The Fury incorporates a visual balance of positive      and negative space between the airy front end and the more substantial engine      and rear-end section; it may not be instantly apparent to some onlookers,      but the design elements have been carefully integrated. The LED taillight      was selected specifically because it does not affect the shape of the rear      fender, which also lacks visible fender stays&#8211;all for the purpose of giving      the rear fender a simple, clean and elegant shape.</p>
<p>In addition, there&#8217;s no need to fret about what appears to be a rigid hard-tail      rear end. Those sleek lines actually cloak an ingenious single-shock rear      suspension system with an aluminum swingarm, adjustable rebound damping and      five-position spring preload adjustment for exemplary riding comfort&#8211;definitely      far and above the norm for a chopper-style motorcycle. Also, note the remarkably      clean lines given to the aluminum swingarm, and the great efforts expended      on bestowing smooth lines upon the driveshaft on the left side.</p>
<p>Up front, a stout 45mm fork handles suspension duties quite ably, and the      distinctive alloy <a id="KonaLink0" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2010models/2010-Honda-Fury.htm#" target="undefined"><span style="color: #006400 ! important; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; position: static;"><span style="color: #006400 ! important; font-family: serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; position: static;">wheels</span></span></a> have a single powerful 336mm-diameter front disc      brake complemented by a 296mm brake disc in back.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-392" href="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/2010-honda-fury/2010-honda-furya-2/"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-392" title="2010-Honda-Furya" src="http://www.honda-motorcycles.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2010-Honda-Furya1-1024x683.jpg" alt="2010-Honda-Furya" width="284" height="190" /></a>Fire up the engine and waves of muscular V-twin power, sound and feel&#8211;vital      elements that constitute the soul of the Fury&#8211;flood the senses. There&#8217;s a      fuel-injection system that&#8217;s new to Honda&#8217;s proven and muscular 1312cc liquid-cooled      52-degree V-twin with a single-pin crankshaft and dual balancers. A newly      designed exhaust system and new camshafts also add to the creation of an engine      that&#8217;s eminently satisfying in the performance department as well as one that      delivers the more intangible aesthetic sound and power-pulse sensations Honda      engineers wanted. Short version: it&#8217;s just plain cool to ride and hear this      baby rumble.</p>
<p>With a full line of accessories available upon its release, the Fury is also      positioned for additional customizing by owners who want to add that personal      touch.</p>
<p>The Fury taps directly into the passion for riding; this is a machine built      for people who have always longed for a chopper-style motorcycle. And for      good reason&#8211;it&#8217;s got to be the ultimate as far as cool factor goes, a bike      profile that&#8217;s instantly known and recognized. But this is also a chopper      with a unique difference: you can simply ride it and enjoy, without all of      the costs, compromises and headaches typically attached to such machines.</p>
<p>The Fury is a chopper that&#8217;s also 100 percent Honda, with all the performance      and quality that the name implies.</p>
