Honda Develops World’s First Production Motorcycle Airbag System
TOKYO, Japan, September 8, 2005 – Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today announced it has succeeded in developing the world’s first production motorcycle airbag system.
The new system, which is claimed to help lessen the severity of injuries caused by frontal collisions, is to be made available on the new Gold Wing motorcycle scheduled for release in late spring of 2006 in the US.
Hrm… This could open a whole big can of worms. Anyone remember the leg protectors? And the safety bike?
