HONDA ON RIGHT TRACKER

Honda has taken the impressive step of fitting tracker devices to all of its roadgoing motorcycles from this month.

The bikes will be fitted with Datatool’s Trakking Adventure system, which as well as letting you know that some scoundrel has made off with your pride and joy, also provides a log of all your journeys.

Hopefully, other bike manufacturers will follow Honda’s lead.

The firm is also out to reclaim the record for the world’s fastest lawn mower. It has built the Mean Mower V2 and slotted in a Fireblade SP bike engine.

The ‘Blade engine produces 190bhp and should be sufficient for a top speed of over 150mph. My life’s ambition has been to own a ride-on mower, performance not important. Unfortunately our lawn is about the size of a dining room table.
