Fast Big Motorcycle - Honda Gold Wing

The Honda Gold Wing (or Goldwing) is a touring motorcycle designed and manufactured by Honda. It was introduced October 1974, and went on to become a popular model in North America, Western Europe and Australia. Over the course of its history, it has had numerous modifications to its design. In 1975 it featured a 999 cc (61.0 cu in) flat-four engine and in 2001 it featured a 1,832 cc (111.8 cu in) flat-six. In 2010, the model featured an adjustable windshield, a trunk, a seatback for pillion rider, satellite navigation, an audio system, anti-lock braking, cruise control, electrically assisted reverse gear, and an optional airbag, none of which were featured when it was introduced.

Over one million Gold Wings were made at the Marysville Motorcycle Plant in Marysville, Ohio from 1979 until 2009, when motorcycle production there was halted. Honda says that before the plant closed, sufficient 2010 model year Goldwings were produced to meet demand until production resumes in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan in 2011, when 2012 model year motorcycles will be produced using tooling transported from the old plant. The 2011 model year was not produced.

Best Fast Motorcycle - Honda CBR1000F

Launched in 1987 the Honda CBR1000F, also known as the Hurricane, is a sport touring motorcycle manufactured by Honda from 1987 to 1999. It is powered by a liquid-cooled, DOHC, 998 cc, 16-valve four-cylinder, it crossed the 130 bhp (97 kW) barrier and is capable of 260 km/h (160 mph).

Manufactured from 1987 to late 1999 the Hurricane went through only three major revisions. In 1989, the bike received a cosmetic makeover with a complete redesign of the front fairing, improvements to the bikes front suspension, larger tyres were added to help cope with the bikes heavy weight and to accommodate radial tyres, improvements were also added to the bikes cam chain tensioner in an attempt to remove the annoying cam chain rattle some riders had reported, the 1989 model also had its power slightly increased to around 135 bhp (101 kW) and the model gained weight. In 1992, the bike's looks were overhauled with a more streamlined and modern looking bodywork added. The biggest change was the introduction of DCBS, Honda's Dual Combined Brake System. The DCBS system was introduced to assist rider braking where the front brake lever operates the front calipers but also proportionally applies the rear brake, while using the rear brake will engage one front caliper. Since then DCBS has evolved into a very popular addition to many Honda touring motorcycles. No major changes occurred after 1992. A touring model was briefly launched that offered a larger screen and hard panniers.




Best Fast Motorcycle - Honda DN-01 (cruiser motorcycle made by Honda)

The Honda DN-01 is a cruiser motorcycle made by Honda. It was introduced at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show and went on sale in Japan and Europe in 2008, and in the US in 2009. The Honda DN-01 is one of a small number of motorcycles offered by a major motorcycle manufacturer with an automatic transmission (compare Honda VFR1200F and Aprilia MANA 850). Honda continues to offer the 2009 model as its only model for the US market as of early 2011.

The 2009 model DN-01's performance, measured by Motorcycle Consumer News, was 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in 7.41 seconds, a 1/4 mile time of 15.41 seconds at 87.42 mph (140.69 km/h), and a top speed of 113.1 mph (182.0 km/h). Braking performance, which uses an antilock braking system on the front dual disc brakes, was 60 to 0 mph (97 to 0 km/h) in 124 ft (38 m). The feature that most impressed the reviewer was the unique automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) technology, called by Honda the "Human Friendly Transmission," which, though expensive, was revolutionary, and potentially, "the ideal drivetrain for most of us, with the potential to satisfy a wide variety of riders regardless of experience or riding preference."

Reviewer complaints focused on ergonomics, especially potentially uncomfortable seating on long rides, and the lack of wind protection at high speed, meaning the rider is fatigued pulling on the handlebars to resist the wind pushing them backwards. There is also no storage space at all, and the price of US$ 14,599 is much higher than any comparably performing machine. Since the initial reviews, the price has risen to US$ 15,599. The load capacity is only 324 lb (147 kg), meaning that with a passenger the DN-01 is likely to become overloaded if touring were attempted. Ultimate MotorCycling, like other reviewers, was fascinated with the transmission technology but found the combination of styles and features unsatisfactory from the point of view of either a cruiser rider or sportbike rider, while the lack of storage fails to meet the needs of either touring riders or the urban commuter scooter buyer.

THe DN-01 has a catalyser system compliant with EURO-3, California Air Resources Board (CARB) and EPA emissions standards.

All Terrain Motorcycle - Honda XRE300

The Honda XRE 300 is a single-cylinder dual-sport motorcycle designed and manufactured by Honda in Brazil. It was launched in August 2009 to simultaneously replace the japanese firm's two South American on/off-road motorcycles: the XR250 Tornado and the NX4 Falcon. Unlike these motorcycles' 250cc and 400cc engines, the fuel-injected 300cc unit fitted to XRE300 meets Brazil's new PROMOT 3 emissions rules.

It is available in two versions (standard and C-ABS) and three colours: red, black, and metallic yellow.
Heavily based on its 250cc predecessor, the XRE300 is aimed at urban riders but can be used for light trail work. For more demanding cross-country duties, Honda offers the off-road-only CRF230F.






Fast Motorcycle - Honda CB-1

 
The Honda CB-1 is a small and light naked sport bike with a 399 cubic centimetres (24.3 cu in) straight-four engine, called by Cycle World "a reincarnation of the standard motorcycle ... the sort of bike everyone rode before sporting riders went replica racer crazy. The Honda model code is NC27. In contrast to all other models of the Honda CB series, the name is written with a hyphen. In some countries it was sold as Honda CB400F as an attempt to connect the model with the original CB400F of 1975, with which it has virtually nothing in common other than the fact that it has a 4-cylinder transverse-mounted 400cc engine.

The bike was first introduced in 1989 and built until the end of 1990. Originally developed for the Japanese market, the CB-1 was also officially sold in the USA and Canada. Called a "great motorcycle that never found an audience" and "victims of a difficult market" by Cycle World, the final model year 1990 CB-1s available as leftover stock were offered in 1992 at a $600 discount, for $3700 in the US, which in current money would be $5,791 accounting for inflation.

The CB-1 engine is similar to the early NC23 models CBR400RR, with changes to the port lengths and angles as well as smaller valves and lower compression ratio; changes in the primary and secondary gear ratios reduced the 60 mph (97 km/h) first gear down to around 30 mph (48 km/h), making the slightly less powerful CB-1 feel much quicker from a standstill than its sportier sibling, All engines derived from the NC23 block carry the NC23 ID code in the engine number; this includes the NC27, 23, 29, 31 etc., including the VTEC models with chain driven cams. Like many of its stablemates, the CB-1 has straight gear-driven dual camshafts with self-silencing gears to reduce whine.

Cycle World measured the acceleration from 0 to 1⁄4 mile (0 to 0.40 km) as 13.17 seconds at 99.16 miles per hour (159.58 km/h) and a top speed of 118 miles per hour (190 km/h). Braking distance from 60 to 0 miles per hour (97 to 0 km/h) was 124 feet (38 m).





 


Fast Motorcycle - Honda VFR400

The Honda VFR400 series of motorcycles were a related series of 399 cc V4-engined motorcycles, which were essentially scaled-down versions of the larger VFR models of the day. They were mainly developed for, and sold in, the Japanese domestic market, in part due to the tougher motorcycle drivers' license restrictions in Japan at the time.

Outside of Japan, the VFR400R (NC30) was officially imported to the United Kingdom for four years, but with a price tag of £5899 (similar to that of the 1000 cc bikes of the time and actually more than Honda's own VFR750F), failed to sell well. This model was also officially imported (in very limited numbers) and sold in Austria, France and Germany for a few years.

Although mainly produced for the Japanese domestic market, VFR400s have been popular as grey imports in other markets (especially so for the NC30 in the United Kingdom, and also for racing purposes in the United States) in the "mini" superbike segment.

VFR400 engines produce a noticeable whine when the engine is running, due to the cams being driven by straight cut gears, rather than chains or belts.
