Honda is helping to combat motorcycle rider safety issues by providing every new road bike customer with a branded high visibility vest.

The vest has been uniquely produced for Honda, and comes as a one-size-fits-all with adjustable velcro straps.

The high quality design also offers a front zip closure as opposed to a standard velcro closure, with Honda logos on both front and back.

The vest is packaged in a Honda printed pouch with a recommended retail value of around $25.

“We have been considering for some time the most practical way that we can help riders to be safer on the road,” said Honda Australia’s general manager, motorcyles, Tony Hinton.

“Visibility is often noted as a factor in crashes involving cars and motorcyclists, and this is an area where we can encourage riders to do as much as possible to be seen, day or night.”

“We are seeing more and more riders wearing high vis clothing and vests, and felt that it would be an excellent value add item for anyone purchasing one of our motorcycles.”

Any customer who purchases a road registerable motorcycle across the Honda range from any dealer nationally will receive a vest.
