Honda's latest motorcycle line-up is here and it's waiting for you! Hit the street on classic cruisers or dominate the dirt-track.
Every model lineup has its superstar, the one that really showcases what a company can do when they set their mind to it. At Honda, that's our Gold Wing, where power, sporting performance and long-range luxury converge harmoniously to create the greatest touring bike ever made. It all starts with the Gold Wing's amazing 1832cc engine, and from there Honda's high-tech wizardry takes long-distance touring comfort and convenience to levels other companies have only dreamed of. And since variety is the spice of road trip life, we offer four different performance options, all with a new feature this year, our Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Our Comfort Package includes heated grips, a heated seat and passenger backrest, and foot-level warm-air ducts. You can get other versions with features such as a state-of-the-art GPS navigation package, XM Radio with real-time traffic, Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS), and even one with the industry's first motorcycle airbag. And be sure to check out the striking colors available too. The 2009 Gold Wing. There's nothing ordinary about it.
Building a motorcycle that's part supersport performer and part long-distance tourer is no easy feat. Satisfying the rider who demands an impeccable combination of both can be even harder. Which is why for years serious sport-touring pilots have turned to one machine: Honda's ST1300. Inspired by our class-leading Gold Wing and CBRs, the ST1300 seamlessly pairs comfort sleek, wind-cheating bodywork, huge, detachable saddlebags, an electronically adjustable windscreen with a powerful V-4 engine and lightweight chassis delivering performance usually reserved for the sportbike set. Exactly the kind of class-leading machine you can count on from Honda.
It's like nothing you've ever seen on two wheels. And for good reason: Honda's stunning new DN-01 is in a class of its own the world's first crossover bike. Its styling and seating position alone set it completely apart, showing influence from the world of our sportbikes, sport touring machines, and cruisers. But underneath that bodywork the DN-01 is even more revolutionary, offering Honda's radical new HFT Transmission. Yes, it's an automatic but an automatic unlike anything you've ever seen. You can shift it into six preset ratios, or you can let it function as a stepless, no-shifting Continuously Variable Transmission, or CVT. The DN-01 is a perfect choice if you're looking to get into motorcycling, if you're a long-time rider who wants to be on the most cutting-edge bike out there, or if you're just looking for something completely different. This bike is going to turn heads like no other in 2009.

Probably the best commuter bike ever made. Honda's new CRF230M has to be one of the smartest buys you're going to make this year. The concept is simple: We took our awesome, proven CRF230L dual-sport machine and fine-tuned it for the street. By giving it 17-inch front and rear wheels we've made a machine that's specially tailored for the street, and which can use premium street tires. An electric starter makes getting going a snap, but best of all has to be the new CRF230M's fuel mileage.

That's why our dual-sport bikes are a versatile combination of rugged, terrain-swallowing action hero and comfortable, smooth-handling long-distance runner. Ready for a change of scenery?
