Japanese & European Models
1998 CB1300 (Japanese Model) - Continuing the 'Big One' concept, this
next generation GB features a 1300cc liquid cooled inline four cylinder engine, the
biggest in its displacement class. Dual Pro-Link rear suspension highlights the high level
of performance available in this 'standard-style' motorcycle.
1998 Hornet 600 (European Model) - This exciting new model, destined for release
in Japan and Europe, features an aggressive, naked-style sporting machine built around the
legendary CBR600F3 600cc powerplant.
1998 NT65OV Deauville (European Model) - The Deauville builds upon the success of
the European Revere 650, a 647cc V-twin with shaft drive that has become popular as an
urban commuter. The Deauville adds integral luggage, a large 5 gallon fuel tank, and
options like heated handgrips to further satisfy the urban and touring possibilities of
this machine. We sure would like to see this model considered for US riders.
1998 VTR 250 (Japanese Model) - the VTR features a pivotless truss frame
integrating a 250cc 4-stroke V-twin engine as a stressed member. The rear swingarm pivots
at the rear of the engine. Its unmistakable beauty stems from it's functional,
minimalistic lines. How about a 600 version for the US?
The R5125R and R5250R racers are available from HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) designated dealers in the U.S. These lightweight, time-tested machines feature high performance 2-stroke engines. The RS125R is a single cylinder design and the RS25OR features a V-twin design. (125 left, 250 right)
