Honda Motorcyle Accessories & Gear, Jackets

The Honda VFR is one of the best sport touring motorcycles ever made. I think every motorcycle magazine in the world has named it "Motorcycle of the Year" at some point. Because it's such a great all-around mount, VFR riders tend to rack up the miles. Obviously, ...

I don't talk price much in these product reviews. However, at under $40 including a lock and cable, this cover seems like a heck of a deal. VFR owners are a proud lot, and justifiably so. The do-it-all sportbike is a winner. This cover allows you to ...

I'll admit up-front that I am not a cruiser guy. However, I do understand and appreciate aftermarket exhausts. In fact, I had a Vance and Hines exhaust on a Kawasaki ZX-10 that I used to own. It was a well-made and nice sounding piece.

Most motorcyclists ...

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. Different scenes call for costume changes. If you don't believe it, think back to your last job interview. I don't know about you, but I wore a suit. I dress up for a night out and dress ...

I don't know if it's coincidence or just luck, but Honda always seems to know what I like: simple, strong, and easy on the eye. The Honda CBR textile jacket is all of these. It is even sold in my colors: black and white.

The cut is a traditional taper, which complements ...

I've always said that the key to cutting edge fashion is to wear something ugly as sin and still look good. I'm not saying that Honda's Repsol textile jacket is ugly; it's just not a modern style. This is the kind of jacket you pull out of your closet after ...

I always know when I see a road rider on a scooter because they still demonstrate their kinship with the larger machines by giving the salute, albeit half-embarrassed and understated. Practically, however, the scooter makes sense for the start-and-stop tight traffic of downtown. At least it isn't a car.

Although it is ...

Motocross may bear the seeds of reckless adventure, but the speeds and heights achieved by the fearless riders force them to confront their very real vulnerabilities and put on gear to compensate. Fox Racing is an ever-present name on the lips of the motocross community when it comes to riding apparel. ...

The following story is about a car, but trust me, I'm going somewhere with this:

My friend Mac is a nice guy. He'll help out anyone who asks, so naturally everyone is always asking. Most commonly, they're asking him for rides. Sick of this, he decided to rip the ...

The Honda Rebel has secured an odd place in motorcycle history. It is the standard in 250 cc bikes and is known as a wear and tear machine. Often called a starter bike, people get attached to these feisty little creatures.

Riders sense that the Rebel can endure a ...

I learned to ride when I was just a kid, but it wasn't until I was a grown woman that I decided that I needed my own bike. Me being a tiny little thing, it naturally made sense that my first bike would be a 250 Rebel.

The 250 Rebel is made by ...

I understand fuel-air mixtures and lubrication systems, but wiring has never been my area of expertise. Of course, I bought a used bike that had front end accessories added and removed over time, leaving a mysterious short to drain the life from my battery.

Anyone who buys a used bike is also getting ...

If you are the proud owner of, say, a 20-year-old Honda CR500R, then you will have to replace a part here or there. When you find yourself in the market for a new silencer, it would serve you well to buy something that baffles the growl and increases performance.

FMF Racing's PowerCore silencer ...

This good-looker is Honda's new CBR jacket for 2008.

It's made of genuine cowhide leather, measuring 1.2mm-1.44mm. That's a midweight leather that should be comfortable in three seasons. The jacket also includes zipper-controlled ventilation for warmer weather.

The jacket features CE-rated shoulder and elbow padding for extra protection as ...
