Friday bike

New Honda MSX125


Interesting new angle by Honda - a 125cc single, 4 speed gearbox, and 12" wheels. It's being promoted as a kind of funky town bike and there was a promo video showing a rider doing all sorts of rather irresponsible stunts around town on one. I say 'was' as it would appear Honda have withdrawn it!
The video was aimed at teenagers who do stunts on kid's bikes, so Honda are targeting them into buying one of these as the next step. Whether it'll attract any youngsters onto bikes or not we'll have to see, but as motorcyclists in Britain are getting older, anything that attracts youngsters is always welcome.

****UPDATE****

Found a video.
