Honda Motorcycles - 2008 Lineup

Gold Wing Premium Audio

Power, luxury, sporting performance… with its unparalleled combination of class-leading features, the 1832cc Gold Wing continues to redefine what a touring motorcycle can be.

Now add the Gold Wing's six speaker elements and an 80-watts-per-channel external amplifier, and you'll not only be rolling down the highway in unbeatable style – you'll be rocking, too.

Gold Wing Audio/Comfort/Navi

Premium sound, cold-weather comfort features and Hondas patented, Flash-card-based Satellite-Linked Navigation™ System ... is there any place the Gold Wing Premium Audio, Comfort Package & Navi model cant take you, surrounded by luxury and performance?

The answer to that, and to whether theres a better motorcycle in the touring class, would be "no." A resounding "no."

ST1300

Call it the bike that perfectly fills the gap between Honda's flagship Gold Wing tourer and our stable of championship winning sportbikes.

The ST1300 is designed for the long haul. With sleek, full-coverage bodywork, an adjustable windscreen and removable luggage, this smooth, agile, V-4-powered machine is also built to make getting to your destination fun.

VTX1800N

Neo Retro might seem a contradiction in terms, but the VTX1800N is all that: stylish, head-turning, from its swooping fenders and straight-cut mufflers to the LED taillights and gorgeous cast aluminum wheels.

Call it throwback beauty with a modern-day touch.

• Flush-Mounted LED Brake & Taillights
• Bullet-Style Turn Signals
• Hot-Rod Retro Fender Style

VTX1300C

Think of the VTX1300C as the patriarch of the VTX1300 family. With its classic styling and clean lines, this bike is serious about its VTX heritage.

Check out its new-for-2008 slash-cut dual pipes. Then let your gaze take in its beefy 1312cc V-twin and sleek shaft final drive.

Custom cast wheels and meaty tires wrapped in bobbed fenders complete the picture of a machine that was meant to rule.

Shadow Aero

Full-sized looks and 750cc performance without the full-sized price tag. Sound like a stretch? Not when youre talking about the Honda Shadow Aero.

Stunning is one way to describe its long, low, retro styling simply drenched in chrome from tip to tail and boasting classic valanced fenders, spoked wheels and five all-new colors.

Staggering is another—especially once you see that all this muscular V-twin style and performance could be yours for a mid-sized price.

Shadow Sabre

The Shadow Sabre is the perfect bike to get you to places you've only dreamed of cruising.

From its 1099cc, 45-degree V-twin pumps serious power and the kind of torque everyone wants in a big cruiser.

And when it comes to styling details, with its combination of brilliant chrome and scintillating paint schemes, the Sabre is flat-out stunning.

Shadow VLX

The Shadow VLX is one of the most unique cruisers in Honda's exceptional line-up.

Check out its old-school hardtail-style rear suspension, the classic teardrop tank and low, low seat height. And did we mention the chrome?

Now fire it up and twist the throttle, and instantly you'll know this machine sounds as sweet as it looks.

Nighthawk

Lightweight. Dependable. Performance packed. And as easy on your wallet as it is to use.

That's the Nighthawk®, our 250cc all-arounder that goes way beyond what typically defines an intro bike (although it is peerless in that respect).

Whether a total beginner or a seasoned vet, the Nighthawk offers every rider the perfect combination of performance, Honda reliability, and perhaps best of all, value.

Rebel

There are entry-level cruisers, and then there's the Rebel-sporting more style and user-friendly performance than any other 250-class machine out there.

Dependable Honda four-stroke power, exceptional handling, styling as classic as it is attractive, an all-new Silver paint scheme ... what's not to like about this great entry-level cruiser on the road? Correct. Absolutely nothing.

CBR1000RR

There's nothing like a literbike when it comes to awesome performance. But for 2008, Honda's taking that level of performance—and handling—to a whole new level.

New engine. New chassis. MotoGP-style exhaust. The all-new CBR1000RR is a Superbike that handles like a 600, but is built to dominate the Superbike class.

CBR600RR

If 2007 gave any clue, the CBR®600RR has only just begun to write its legacy in the annals of 600-class performance.

Crowned the Best Middleweight of 2007 by both Cycle World and Rider magazines, the CBR600RR oozes MotoGP-bred tech.

Dual Stage Fuel Injection, Pro-Link® rear suspension, HESD electronic steering damper, wicked new colors for 2008 there's no other 600 like it. And there never will be.

XR650R

King of Baja. That's all any desert-riding enthusiast ever has to know about the XR650R, multi-time champ of, without a doubt, the toughest tests of man and machine this side of the Paris-Dakar.

Potent power, supple handling, nasty-terrain-swallowing suspension, bulletproof ruggedness—the XR's got it all in spades.

Looking for the toughest off-road bike on the market? Then look no further than the King.

CRF450X

After winning every Baja race it‘s entered, the CRF450X has established its racing cred—and then some. Hands down, it‘s the best big-bore trail bike ever built.

And this year, it gets even better, with fine-tuning that includes a new Honda Progressive Steering Damper, chassis upgrades, and a slimmer fuel tank.

Call it perfection, improved.

CRF230L

On paved roads or dirt roads, the all-new CRF230L is ready to handle all kinds of transportation needs.

With its compact size, lower seat height, 223cc single cylinder engine and a six speed transmission, it's as peppy as it is frugal.

Whether it's on campus, on the RV or on the commute, the CRF230L will provide reliable transportation for years to come.

CRF150X

Smooth, easy-to-use power, plush suspension and responsive handling make the CRF150F full-sized off-road fun in a mid-size package.

With electric starting, a five-speed, manual-shift gearbox, new, narrower seat, fuel tank, and dependable 149cc four-stroke engine, it's the ideal machine for recreational riders, teen-size to grown-up.

Silver Wing

Sleek, stylish and sporting freeway-friendly, motorcycle-spec performance, the Silver Wing® is the über-scooter, hands-down.

From its beefy, 582cc liquid-cooled parallel twin and exclusive Honda V-matic™ transmission to the plush, two-up seating and spacious on-board storage, the Silver Wing is truly in a class of its own.

Metropolitan

Already one of the most stylish, Euro-cool scooters going, the Metropolitan® takes the hip factor even higher for 2008.

With amped-up urban styling, and (on selected models) chrome mirrors and muffler cover, two-tone seat, and black wheels accented by 3D emblems, this fully automatic, 49cc fashion plate is two-wheeled proof that a scooter can be both ultra-hip and ultra-practical.
