The seven new motorcycles will be seen for the first time in the UK
The brand new CBR600RR 2007 will be one of the major attractions at the NEC.
Honda's new model range for 2007 will be seen for the first time in UK at the annual International Motorcycle and Scooter Show at Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre from 27 October to 5 November.
Perhaps the most popular of all will be the all-new CBR600RR middleweight sports bike. The CBR600 - which celebrates its 20th birthday in 2007 - is completely new from stem to stern and features a host of technological advances handed down from the MotoGP RC211V in preparation for its assault on the roads and tracks of Europe next year. The CBR600RR '07 promises to be the most advanced 600cc machine in the Supersports class.
One of the original middleweight "Streetfighter" motorcyles the CB600F Hornet has surprised at Intermot. This all-new bike features a motor developed from the 2007 CBR600RR's and a chassis completely redeveloped to give a lighter weight and a sportsbike's "mass cetralisation", leading to much sharper handling. But the biggest changes are the looks. The original Hornet led the way when it came to aesthetics in the middleweight naked class and the new Hornet will try to lead the way once more, with its more aggressive, minimalist and thoroughly modern lines.
Honda's ver green VT750 also gets a major overhaul which brings the bike technically up-to-date while enhancing its classic good-looks. In comes an updated motor now featuring fuel-injection, while the aesthetic changes include a larger 21-inch clasically spoked wheel, dual shotgun mufflers, a shorter, upswept rear fender and a seating position which is more comfortable for all, thanks to a lower seat height and a new handlebar position.
The new SH300i scooter is a direct descendant of Europe's best-selling SH150i/125i.
Thanks to a fuel-injected 279cc four-valve single-cylinder motor, the SH300i has the best performance in its class, while keeping the practical elements of carrying capacityand practically that the SH series is famous for. Handling is similary self-assured, thanks to the motorcycle-like 16-inch "big" wheels, meaning that handling is much more stable.
The CBR125R was the best-selling motorcycle of 2005 and this popular machine now comes with a host of improvements, including fuel-injection, a catalytic converter and an exciting new look, courtesy of new bodywork, to make the CBR125R look even more like its bigger sportsbike brothers.
The Varadero range also benefits from big improvements in 2007. The 1000cc V-Twin version and the single-cylinder 125cc model now come with a frugal and environmentally friendly fuel-injection system with catalytic converter, as well as new-look bodywork.
Alongside the new 2007 models and for the second year in succession at the NEC, Honda's "My First Licence" scheme teaches the road-users of tomorrow about motorcycles and motorcycling, respecting machinery and other road users, but above all it's about staying safe and giving youngsterst an early understanding of the rules of the road.
