Torrance, CA (4/2/2012) - Honda
enters the 2013 model-year season with a host
of options for off-road and street-riding fun.
First, consider two fun scooters that contain
significant upgrades: the thoroughly revised Metropolitan
and a new PCX scooter with a larger-displacement
engine that now makes it capable for freeway use.
Both models feature an easy-to-operate automatic
transmission along with extremely fuel-efficient
engines—just the thing for countering rising
fuel prices. And then peruse Honda’s strong
lineup of utility ATVs that simply get it done—whether
“it” is a day filled with tough tasks
or a weekend escape to your favorite backwoods
getaway.
“This first release for 2013 models includes
two scooters that are just right for the times—easy,
convenient and fun transportation options that
return truly amazing fuel efficiency,”
said Powersports Press Manager Bill Savino.
“Then there’s the extensive lineup
of Honda utility ATVs that offers plenty of
options for just about every job you can dream
up. Over the years our whole line of ATVs has
established a well-deserved reputation for being
‘built to work’ and that notion
applies whether you’re spending the day
working hard or playing hard. All in all, this
is a great way for Honda to lead off the year,
which will feature lots of exciting new options
and a great selection of motorcycles and ATVs
to suit just about every segment of the riding
population.”
“With our wide-ranging lineup of utility
ATVs, Honda offers something for just about
everybody who spends time outdoors for work
or recreation. Whether you’re out checking
fences or just enjoying a casual trail ride
with friends, Honda has your ATV needs covered.”
