TOKYO -- Honda said it has developed the first airbag intended for production motorcycles. It plans to offer the feature on the new Gold Wing model due for sale in the United States beginning next spring.
Honda said the airbag, which inflates after sensors detect an oncoming crash, is aimed at reducing injuries in a head-on collision. Honda said the airbag opens in front of the rider, reducing the speed at which they get thrown off the motorcycle. The idea is to lessen injuries when the rider hits the road or another vehicle. |

a better idea would be a kevlar blanket that would blast out if you laid it down... but to each his own.

But for those who enjoy bikes anyway, get a kevlar bike suit....they don't make 'em, but they should.
