Take 14 dudes, put them on dirt bikes, give them some of the most remote, scenic riding available in the US and this is what happens. It's Wilderness Collective 001.

Affordable, proven and capable, the Honda XR650L dual-sport has been in production, unaltered, for two decades. Can it still get dirty in 2013?

Okay, so I lied. My pants are indeed aflame. The fastest car in all of Japan in the 1970's was not a tiny little Honda, but you'd have no idea of that if you were an alien that happened to crash land in Kyoto circa 1972 and saw this ad for the Asahi Pentax camera.

Wilderness Collective, a new company in California, promises “epic adventures for men.” We tagged along on their very first trip, riding dual-sports through the Sierra Nevada Mountains, from Sequioa to Yosemite National Parks.

Tim Watson, Orange, CA —Remember those big chopper bikes of the mid 2000s with odd names, weird handling, stupidly raked-out front ends, ridiculously oversized rear tires and ostentatious looks that sold for the price of a small house? The Honda Fury is not those things. It just looks like one.

For 2013, Honda has blacked-out its popular Shadow cruiser and called it the Phantom. Is that enough to keep it competitive in the mid-capacity cruiser class?

Well done Honda! (Hat tip @Speedmonkeycouk)

Unless you're some kind of combination astronaut/coke dealer/CIA agent, your job is nowhere near as cool as the Stig's. Top Gear's tame racing driver gets to test all sorts of cars and never has to talk to his co-workers. What gig could be better than that?

Mechanically identical to the new CBR500R, the Honda CB500F ditches the fairing a clip-ons for arguably more practical flat bars and drops $500 from the list price. Just as good?

By now, everyone has heard that Honda is coming back to Formula 1 as an engine supplier. Turbo V6 engines will be the regulated standard for the premier motorsports starting in 2014, and Honda will reenter the sport in 2015 once they've spent a great deal of time engineering the new motor.
