Honda is continually pursuing a variety of research to make bike life more
enjoyable.
From environmentally friendly engines and advanced security devices to easy-to-operate
safety features and riding safety courses, Honda is the industry leader.
Here is a close look at some of this advanced technology. |

| PGM-FI (Programmed Fuel Injection) uses electronic control technology to supply
the engine with the ideal air/fuel mixture under all conditions. The result is
reduced exhaust emissions and improved fuel economy. Honda has been developing
this technology for more than 20 years and has equipped it to many models. In
order to apply PGM-FI to 4-stroke 50cc scooters, cost and size concerns were resolved
by producing compact, simple integrated systems with superior cost-performance.
The DioZ4 FI is the world's first 4-stroke 50cc machine to feature PGM-FI. Following
is a closer look at Honda's PGM-FI. |

ASV Riding Simulator
The ASV (Advanced Safety Vehicle) is part of a Next-Generation
Automobile Safety Development Project promoted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure
and Transport. Honda uses radio signal technology to alert drivers and riders
about the proximity of other vehicles. By automatically supplying information
about the speed and location of other vehicles via a communications network, the
system helps to prevent accidents. When turning right, the ASV technology can
warn drivers about oncoming vehicles or possible impending collisions. Why not
go for a spin and take a ride into the future? |

| Riding Trainer |
|
 |
| Reflecting our company policy of respect for the
individual, and to promote education and training for safe riding, Honda has developed
a riding trainer for use in dealerships and other venues. The simple construction
features an operating section connected to a personal computer monitor to replicate
actual riding conditions. The system also reproduces the sounds, vibrations and
other sensations associated with riding and is ideal for teaching new riders how
to operate a clutch and brakes and perform other basic tasks. It can also simulate
typical dangerous riding situations, advise the student about the results and
help the user polish defensive riding skills. |

| The Latest Technology for Stopping. |
|
Motorcycle Brake Technology
Honda is not only developing technology for going, but for stopping, also. The
'Combi Brake' system operates both front and rear brakes proportionally when the
brake pedal or brake lever (on scooters) are operated, allowing almost anyone
to brake with confidence. This system is featured on a variety of Honda models
from supersport bikes to commuters. When ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) is combined
with Combi Brake, we call it 'Combined ABS.' All of these systems make riding
more enjoyable by increasing rider confidence. |

Smart Key
Simply by having the key in your possession allows it to communicate with
the bike. This advanced security system with an electronic control function has
proved to be effective in theft deterrence by preventing key pickers from being
able to pick the keyhole and start the engine by hot wiring. Moreover, the main
switch automatically defaults to off just by walking away from the bike while
still keeping the key in your possession, with the answer back function carried
out by the four winker-lamps blinking. The smart key brings added convenience
to riding in various situations. |

H·I·S·S
H·I·S·S (Honda Ignition Security System) uses an original ignition key with a built-in
chip which communicates and is recognized by the engine control unit. Only when
the signals match can the engine be started. This electronically controlled security
system is another Honda original. |
|
Key Shutter
A shutter on the ignition cylinder prevents tampering with the ignition, and models
featuring this security device concentrate the seat opener and handlebar lock
mechanisms in the main switch, providing a high level of security to guard your
valuable motorcycle. |
