The idea of achieving “Ultimate Fun on Winding Roads” played a big part in guiding the development team’s efforts in minimising extraneous weight and more effectively centralising the new machine’s overall mass. The concept of “True to Function” also played a decisive role in the complete redesign of the new CBR’s chassis extremities and bodywork to achieve not only a visible sense of lightness and speed, but also the most focused and competitive performance ever. The result is a machine that is powered by a whole new engine, a frame and bodywork that results in a smaller, lighter, more-powerful machine with a class-leading power-to-weight ratio and unparalleled performance. Additional features include a stainless steel four-into-one exhaust that also features an inline exhaust valve to control exhaust pressure for maximum performance. A new intake-air control valve (IACV) minimizes CBR600RR torque reaction and smooths response to small throttle changes through gradual reductions of air and fuel intake when the throttle is opened and closed. 6 / \ 7 CBR125R Honda’s popular CBR125R burst onto Europe’s 125cc-class motorcycle scene in 2004 as a full- featured super sport and is now available in Australia.

  • Honda-City-2009-Nz
    When purchasing a new home all of us know that one of the most important items to consider is the potential to recover your investment at some time in the future. It is the same when purchasing a new car. It is important to look at more than just the “deal” but more towards the brand, the value on offer and in the same way as you do with your new home, to the area, quality and potential resale value. Most new cars continue to be sold on the basis of “deals” that may seem great at the time, but are in fact the cause of most initial new car depreciation. The lowest price paid for a new car sets the initial resale price for that model and it is fair to say that unless you are one of the 15 or so companies who have between 300 and 3000 cars then this “deal” is not on offer to you from any make. No wonder that there is a popular belief that a car loses 30% when you drive it out the door because everyone loses the difference between their deal and the deal given to those largest few customers. At Honda we have recognised that our customers deserve fair treatment. Everyone should pay the same fair and transparent price for a new car. This removes car distributor initiated depreciation leaving only the natural market forces to determine the vehicle’s depreciation through wear and tear and market demand. That is Our Price Promise. Our Price Promise challenges the traditional world of car distribution.
