The demonstration at Honda's testing facilities in Tochigi, near Tokyo, is part of the auto maker's attempt to shake off its plain old reliable image in the U.S. market...

You know if they gave us cool cars to tool on, it'd be great. It'd also help the image improvement they want. People are going out of their way to buy old EG's and EK's to work. Only new Si's I've seen have been lowered with exhausts that's it.

no doubt man.
excellent friking link/ story. Leave it to Honda to lead the way. I've always wondered why the development of serious electric bikes/ scooters hadn't started. It seems like it could be practicle someday.

"Minutes after stepping out of the F-1 machine, the 59-year-old Fukui continued to impress as he got on an RC211V racing bike and roared past the crowd, clearly in his element."

I wonder if the Toyota CEO still knows how to drive his autoeverything-Lexus (or toyota in Japan).
