Bought it in 2002, sold it in 2018. Only put 145,000km on it tho. During that time there was always 2 other bikes in the garage. I always considered the wing my wife's bike. I was just the pilot.

Honda reinvents the wheel
- Thread starter Michael0124
- Start date
Its more aero yo. Have you guys seen the little changes people do in the cycling world to go faster? 200g lighter for an extra $200 out of your pocket. lol.
But this is coming from the guy who also paid extra to have a centrestand on his motorcycle. So i see how this could have a place in the motorcycling world.

Holy! you take your ? aerodynamics seriously!
... didn't they get this idea off of a toilet paper holder? I bet it came to the Honda designer when he was sitting on the john.
I've had a minibike for 50, what's 16 years?

Isn't the whole weight on the kickstand then resting on the small pin (or pins) in those channels? If they shear, I'm assuming the spring compresses and the bike topples over? Maybe I am not understanding
They won't shear.. they'll use hardened pins..
My old goldwing had electrically adjustable rear suspension.Sidestand was just fine in every situation.
I think Honda is trying to fix something that isn't broken.I thought that was a German thing.

Just a guess you might see that one show up on scooters as a cheap way for the side stand to go flush with the body work.
