However, just two weeks before the show, Honda has released a sketch of its latest machine, the VFR adventure style bike. Although the public have never seen this in full production, it is rumoured to contain a beautiful V4 engine however it is also rumoured the V4 engine is a lot smaller in capacity than the one found in the VFR1200.

Autumn Riding

Now that the summer is officially over and the winter is well on its way, it is time for you to start taking more precautions on the road. Unfortunately, Autumn is one of the worst times of the year for motorcycle accidents and we all need to start taking responsibility for our riding now that the weather is changing.

Autumn is a difficult time to ride a motorbike due to the fact the weather can change in the blink of an eye. You may go out riding with glorious sunshine and end up getting caught in a hailstorm. However, it is not just your riding which could get you into danger, the reduced visibility of car drivers means you may be at more risk over the Winter months. Having the right motorcycle gear will go a long way to improving your ride and keeping you safe on the road.

Now is a better time than any to invest in a high quality helmet. Arai helmets and AGV helmets are two of the top brands of motorcycle helmet and have won awards for their safety ratings. They also come in some fantastic designs to suit every personality. Now that the weather is becoming colder and it could start to rain at any point, having the correct clothing will ensure you remain dry and warm wherever you are heading. Why not invest in one of Alpinestars waterproof jackets? They will keep you both dry and your body temperature constant allowing you to focus on your ride rather than racing to get home out of the wet.

You should also make sure your bike is up to withstanding the long Winter.
