Honda Motorcycles Booth

On each of Honda's three motorcycle exhibition stages at this year's Tokyo Motor Show we explore the theme 'Have Wings?'—a reference to the 'Wing' mark that has long stood as the symbol of our passion for building innovative high-quality motorcycles. With this simple question we invite visitors to share in the spirit of challenge(embodied in our global slogan 'The Power of Dreams') that has always kept Honda—and all those who ride with us—moving swiftly and confidently into the wonder and excitement of the future.
