    Honda Develops Airbags for Motorcycles


    TOKYO (AP) - Honda Motor Co. has developed airbags for motorcycles that the Japanese automaker says is the first of its kind in the world for production motorcycles.

    The airbag, which inflates after sensors detect an oncoming crash, will be available on the new Gold Wing motorcycle that will go on sale in spring 2006 in the United States, Honda said Thursday.

    Tokyo-based Honda said the airbags will reduce injuries in head-on collisions.

    The airbag opens in front of the riders and reduces the speed at which they get thrown off the motorcylcle, lessening injuries when they hit the road or another vehicle, it said.

    OMG, that is the dumbest idea i ever heard of. How the fuck is the rider going to hold on with that shit deploying on him??? Not to mention if he is still in motion how will he see??? That will cause more deaths than anything.

              why not just put damn training wheels on the thing......if it deploys accidently the drivers going to crash or go off a cliff.......if it deploys from an accident but the riders still able to keep control....he /she will quickly lose that control since he/she cant fucking see what direction there going....this idea wont last long......

                Honda should just take my idea. They should have one that just wraps you up in foam ball or something

                  Kinda like that futuristic car in Demolition Man

                  But yeah I too think that idea is not gonna fly to well. They'll bounce of it like a Ken or Barbie doll fly in the air like a rag doll and get serious injuries.

                  What the hell are they smoking in their R&D Center cause WHATEVER it is..I want some too.
