Proof that Honda builds bike for people scared of motorcycles

Plenty of poop on how to keep from doing a SOW on a hill on Google.

Hillholder tech was on the 1936 Studebaker President with a manual tranny.

 

That's all fine and dandy but if you need that kind of help riding a motorcycle you shouldn't be on the bike in the first place, come on now holy crap

I hear ya loud and clear, but tell that to a handicap person, or someone who loves to ride and is bad starting on hills, is vertically challenged, etc,

 

Ok ya got me with the handicap( feel bad), I'm vertically challenged at 5'6 so that's out the window, bad starting on hills
Practice makes perfect. Shiet does it park itself to?

That's cool! If they can train it to do wheelies and stoppies they will make a fortune :beguiled:

 

Just think Jenn. You could buy another bike to add to the stable and have it follow you around like a pack mule. Just in case you decide to go on a month long holiday to Alaska or something............... Another bike to carry any luggage and spare parts you might need along the way, such as K&N oil filters and a gallon of degreaser. Maybe outfit the "pet" bike with cameras to record your trip. Talk about a third person reporting of your many adventures. LOL

 

Oh come on, Anne Marie does fine...

(Vertically challenged part)

 

The camera following part actually sounds very cool.

 

No gyros on the Honda. Just moves the front wheel forward and back.

"Honda Riding Assist is basically a creative technology package that allows a motorcycle to self-balance, without the use of gyroscopes.

Honda achieves this by raking out the motorcycle’s front forks, and then balances the motorcycle by moving the front wheel back and forth – like you’ve probably seen skilled cyclists do at traffic lights."


What's next?? Wonder what happens when the battery drains down?

I thought this was going a bit too far, may as well just get a 3-wheeler?

Some of that back and forth motion is to trip the stoplights that will hold ya there sometimes long enough to watch an entire rerun of the Oprah show.

 

I guess if the self driving technology ever filters down to bikes we will have visually challenged riders and those who in the past who have lost SOs, able to ride bitch again.

 

:banana:

falling over is half the fun

 

Observed Trials anyone??

 

Make it electric, it'll be quick enough...
