Bike insurance policyholders heading to this year's Tokyo Motor Show will be able to catch a glimpse of some top motorcycles among the many cars being showcased.
Japanese bike makers will display a number of their machines at the show, which opens to the public on Saturday (October 24th) and runs until November 4th.
Honda has announced it will feature six vehicles at the event for their world premieres, with bikes to include the VFR1200F sport tourer and the CB1100, which will boast an air-cooled, four-cylinder engine.
The firm will also showcase its PCX scooter, which has been created with a green conscience and has features such as an idle stop function to help reduce carbon emissions.
Meanwhile, Suzuki will display its stylish Gladius 400 ABS model and the Boulevard 400 cruiser, as well as a GSV-R raving bike and the Bandit 1250F ABS.
Yamaha will unveil its fuel-injected SR400 bike, based on the original version from 1978, as well as the second-generation VMAX machine.
The firm is also poised to feature its bicycle/motorbike hybrid PAS offering, which is run on pedal power with assistance from an electric motor.
For those bike insurance policyholders who cannot make the event, they might want to attend the International Motorcycle and Scooter Show next month, which is a little closer to home at Birmingham's NEC Arena.
