First Look: 2015 Honda CB300F

It has been a while since Honda has offered a small displacement naked upright sport bike, and the new 2015 Honda CB300F ends that drought. Heavily based on the CBR300R faired sport bike, with which it shares a chassis, engine, and many body parts (though sans fairing), the 2015 Honda CB300F brings the price down to $3999.

Powered by a liquid-cooled 286cc DOHC single-cylinder motor with roots in Moto3 racing, the CB300F weighs only 348 pounds and functions as a little brother to the CB500F twin, with which it shares considerable styling cues. Honda promotes the 2015 CB300F as being a motorcycle for “commuting, zipping around town or head[ing] out for a weekend ride.”

Although the seat on the 2015 Honda CB300F is naturally low, Honda will be offering a lower, narrower seat option to entice newer riders.

THIS is Yamaha's 2015 R1, with more power, less weight and a sophisticated new electronics package. The new version of the flagship sports bike makes a claimed 200hp and weighs 199kg wet, 18hp more and 7kg less than the current model. It gives the new R1 a power-to-weight ratio of more than 1hp/kg and one of the best available in any bike on the market. It's got a new crossplane engine with titanium fracture-split conrods, a 10.5-litre airbox, two-directional fuel injectors and a titanium exhaust.

Trump will survive but Pam Bondi may be toast for donation scandal

  Last week, Pam Bondi tried to make her three-year-long run of bad press come to an end. It did not. That's partly because, when Florida's attorney general finally had a press conference to explain why she took $25,000 in campaign cash from someone she had been asked to investigate, her excuses sounded incredibly lame. And unbelievable. She asked people to believe that, when a committee supporting her campaign took $25,000 from Donald Trump on Sept. 17, 2013, she had no idea that her office had been asked to investigate him. Pam Bondi plays defense Bondi defends against quid pro quo accusations, state Legislature looking at $1.3 billion budget shortfall, Gary Johnson unsure of Aleppo Even though a week earlier, her spokeswoman had told media that Bondi's office was "reviewing" complaints against Trump. And even though, two weeks before that, email records show that Bondi's top staffers – at least nine of them, including her chief of staff and deputy attor...
