Sometime ago Japanese motorcycle giant Honda announced its re-entry into the venerated Dakar Rally next year and released a teaser image of the machine it hopes to win next year with. At the on-going 2012 Intermot motorcycle fair, the big H took wraps off the CRF 450 Rally, which will be competing in next year’s Dakar. Based and developed around existing off-roader the Honda CRF450X, the CRF450 Rally will see Honda enter a full factory team in next year’s Dakar Rally in January 2013.
Honda ran a full factory team in Dakar Rally from 1981 to 1989 and the company won five times during its eight year long tenure in the rally. Now the company returns to the rally after a 24 year long hiatus from the event and its hopes for victory depend entirely on the CRF450 Rally. Whether the new machine can repeat history remains to be seen.
Also on display from Honda was the CBR1000RR Fireblade in new colours, the CB1100 retro- machine which sees its return into the European market. The naked siblings, the CB600F Hornet and the CB1000R get matte-white treatment for 2013 while the Crosstourer gets a special edition colour scheme in matte-black and an optional fitment for the Honda-patented Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT).
Also added to the 2013 model range is an all-new Honda scooter, NSC50R – a sporty 50cc scooter that comes with Honda’s Combined Braking System and a special Repsol paint scheme inspired from the Repsol Honda MotoGP machine, the RC213V.
