Honda Develops World’s First Production Motorcycle Airbag System

OKYO, Japan, September 8, 2005 - Honda Motor Co., Ltd.

Today announced it has succeeded in developing the world’s first production motorcycle airbag system.The new system, which can help lessen the severity of injuries caused by frontal collisions, is to be made available on the new Gold Wing motorcycle scheduled for release in late spring of 2006 in the US.
The Motorcycle Airbag System is comprised of the airbag module, which includes the airbag and the inflator; crash sensors, which monitor acceleration changes; and an ECU, which performs calculations to instantly determine when a collision is occurring. When a severe frontal collision occurs, the four crash sensors mounted on the front fork measure the change in acceleration caused by the impact and convey this data to the airbag ECU, which determines that a collision is occurring and whether or not it is necessary to inflate the airbag. If the calculations performed by the ECU indicate that airbag deployment is necessary, the ECU sends an electronic signal to the airbag inflator, which instantaneously responds by inflating the airbag. Inflating rapidly after the impact, the airbag can absorb some of the forward energy of the rider, reducing the velocity at which the rider may be thrown from the motorcycle and helping lessen the severity of injuries caused by the rider colliding with another vehicle or with the road.

By conducting extensive crash tests at its indoor omni-directional Real World Crash Test Facility, applying advanced computer simulation technology, and leading the way with the introduction of motorcycle rider test dummies, Honda has gathered and analyzed a wide array of data on the behavior of motorcycles during collisions. Honda has also taken full advantage of the experience of its automobile operations in the development of airbags, applying its expertise in the development of the Motorcycle Airbag System.

Motorcycle Airbag System: Principal Components

The airbag module, containing the airbag and inflator, is positioned in front of the rider.

The airbag ECU, positioned to the right of the module , analyzes signals from the crash sensors to determine whether or not to inflate the airbag.

Four crash sensors attached on both sides of the front fork detect changes in acceleration caused by frontal impacts.

Functions of the Principal Components


· The airbag module contains the airbag and airbag inflator.

· The airbag inflator receives an electronic signal transmitted by the airbag ECU instructing it to release nitrogen gas to inflate the airbag.

· The airbag starts to inflate, exerting pressure on the cover of the airbag module, forcing it to open.

· The size and shape of the airbag, the manner in which is secured to the motorcycle with tethers, and the function of the deflation vents all help to maximize the effectiveness with which the system absorbs the kinetic energy of the rider, helping control the velocity at which the rider may tend to be thrown forward from the motorcycle, and thus lessening the severity of any injuries resulting from impact with another vehicle or with the road.

· From the moment an impact is recognized as a collision to the moment of airbag inflation, only 0.060*1seconds elapses.


· The airbag ECU continuously monitors the data received from the crash sensors, and by comparing this data to standard vehicle behavior, determines whether or not it is necessary to deploy the airbag. The data from each sensor is evaluated independently, and if it is determined to deviate from programmed standards of safe vehicle behavior by a certain predetermined degree, an electronic signal is sent to the airbag inflator, which causes the airbag to inflate.


· The crash sensors which monitor acceleration changes are attached to the front fork legs to optimize the quickness and accuracy of their detection of frontal impacts. No alteration of the structure of the motorcycle is needed. To optimize the accuracy of collision detection, a set of 4 sensors are arranged—two on each side of the front fork.

So far there have been many speculations and unofficial releases, but now Honda have released a press statement:- Honda will make an electric motorcycle by the year 2010!

Honda's President and CEO, Takeo Fukui stated that the company is currently developing a CO2-less motorcycle. According to their CEO, Honda needs to move into this technology in order to sustain its business for the next 100 years.

According to Honda, motorcycles are better suited for battery operation (ed: then cars), since most motorcycle are used on relatively short distances.

Honda have in the past (2004) produced a prototype ecological scooter (pictured above), with a 50cc hybrid scooter powered by a 360 kW battery. but those efforts never materialized in a real production vehicle. Now, Honda is serious, and next year we should see the first model appearing.

Honda Readies Sinister EVO6 Concept for Tokyo

Amid the automotive weirdness that typifies the Tokyo Motor Show, there are to be found a few truly stirring examples of mechanical art. Honda's EVO6 concept is just such a machine. The bike uses a version of the 1832-cc horizontally opposed six-cylinder powerplant from Honda's big Gold Wing touring bike. But expect the EVO6 version of the engine to belt out a good deal more than the Gold Wing's 118 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque — and expect the EVO6 itself to tip the scales at considerably less than half the Gold Wing's dry weight. The 40th Tokyo Motor Show starts Oct 26 at the Makuhari Messe convention center, and runs through Nov 11.

2009 Honda Motorcycles Released

American Honda's Powersports Division announced today its third release of 2009 motorcycle products. This announcement follows the earlier releases of Honda's 2009 off-road motorcycles, ATVs, MUV and Ruckus and Metropolitan scooters.

Motorcycle Press Manager Bill Savino was excited to reveal new additions to the Honda lineup including the DN-01. “The 2009 DN-01 enters our market as literally a class of one; there is nothing else like it in the USA,” boasted Savino before adding, “And we've added a Motard-style CRF230M to the line.” In addition to the futuristic looking DN-01 which offers an automatic transmission and a sporty urban motard, Honda has made changes to the best-selling luxury touring motorcycle in the world, the Gold Wing. The Gold Wing 1800 will now offer a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and XM radio. Continuing this theme of updating already successful nameplates, both the CBR600RR and CBR1000RR will be available with electronic Combined Anti Lock Brake systems.
