Isle of Man TT Special 50p Coin


Honda (UK) and the Isle of Man Treasury have officially launched a special 50 pence circulatory coin to commemorate Honda’s 50th anniversary of world championship racing - with the first coin struck by Honda road racer and 14-times TT winner, John McGuinness.

This new coin - available on the Isle of Man from the start of this year’s TT on 1 June - depicts Honda’s multi winning TT rider John McGuinness on a CBR1000RR Fireblade from his record breaking lap in 2007, above the dates 1959 – 2009. The design also contains the 2009 Isle of Man TT logo as well as the Honda Wing logo, highlighting the close association between the two organisations.

Ride safe.

New Honda Models for 2209

Honda have launched a number of new or revised models for 2009, many of which were available to see on the Honda stand on the Carole Nash International Motorcycle and Scooter Show, these included:-


Honda have launched the new Honda CBF125. Honda claim that he CBF125s DNA combines everything that Hondas founder, Soichiro Honda, instilled into his first motorcycles affordable, reliable, safe, good quality and a joy to own and use.

Doubless this new 125cc motorcycle from Honda will prove to be as popular as the outgoing CG125.


With apparently the best selling scooter range in Europe, Honda have further expanded their SH range of scooters with the newly revised 2009 SH125i scooter with a host of styling changes.


Honda have once again updated their highly successful CBR600RR for 2009 with the addition of optional electronically-controlled Combined ABS and a host of other improvements, including lower weight, new undercowl, significant engine changes, new exhaust system and new instrumentation.


Like the CBR600RR the CBR1000RR has the option of electronically-controlled combined ABS for 2009. The 2009 Honda CBR1000RR is available in HRC tricolour version to celebrate 50 years of Honda racing victories.


Honda have updated the popular middleweight offering of the Honda CB600F Hornet for 2009 with new adjustable suspension, styling updates including black metallic parts, a new meter panel and a brand new colour range.


Honda have introduced upgraded off-roaders in the guise of the 2009 CR450F and the CR250F.

The CRF450R is slimmer, lighter and more powerful and includes an all-new and lightweight fuel-injection and ignition system, which features a revolutionary fuel-injection indicator with engine stop switch to show the pre-race condition of the fuel-injection system a first for Honda


The CR250F benefits from a number of changes to the engine and gearbox and more edgy styling for 2009.

Ride safe.

134mpg on a Honda!



Honda have just launched their new 125cc motorcycle to eventually replace the indomitable CG125 which I understand is in its last year of production. The new Honda CBF125 will be on sale in UK Honda dealerships next week.

The new Honda CBF125 is supposed to be staying true to the founder of Honda, Soichiro Honda's original Honda motorcycle principles of being affordable, reliable, safe, good quality and a joy to own and use.

However what is the most amazing thing about this new 125 I am sure for many will be the outstanding fuel economy Honda are claiming, particularly now petrol is such an expensive commodity.

Honda are claiming an amazing 134mpg (or 29.6miles / 47.4km per litre*). That is a staggering 370miles (600km) from one 13 litre tank of petrol.

Now rightly Honda qualify this claim by saying "These figures were obtained during test conditions and may not be replicated in everyday use by every rider and riding situation". However I am sure that well the other side of a 100mpg would be achievable.

Fantastic a leading motorcycle manufacturer is offering a bike with outstanding fuel economy and prepared to speak up about out! Now isn't that a breath of fresh air, well not totally but the new bike's emissions are well below the EURO-3 standard.

Well done Honda for offering something the market really needs, good value, cleaner and economic two wheeled transport. The price I understand will be £1795 on the road, not bad!

Ride safe.
