Honda develops the New Mid Concept series models
Honda has developed a liquid-cooled, in-line 2-cylinder, 700cc OHC engine that is lightweight and compact and delivers lots of torque in the low and middle rpm ranges with a comforting throb.
Fuel economy achieves an approximate 40%* improvement over other sports models in its class. This would enable the use of a lower volume, more compact fuel tank that would still deliver ample riding range while creating space for large-capacity storage and freedom of design.Developed in parallel with the engine was a second-generation dual clutch transmission that has the same level of performance and transmission efficiency as its predecessor but is lightweight, compact and affordable. (*Honda calculations)
Honda develops Engine with Enhanced Durability, Quietness, and Fuel Economy for 125cc Scooters Equipped on Global Scooter Models.
The engine is developed for next-generation 125cc scooters and accommodates an advanced idling stop system for motorcycles. Smooth and remarkably quiet start has been realized through an electronically-controlled ACG starter, which serves as both a self-starter and a dynamo.
Furthermore, intellectual charge control improves fuel efficiency through the reduction of friction during power generation. Fuel economy is approximately 25%* better than that of conventional engines for scooters with the same displacement. (*Honda calculations)
