Honda leasing provides a fascinating point of entry into a universe where the pleasure of motorcycles blends into the elegance of cars. The combination of these distinctive features would provide the supporters with an unmatched experience which is designed exactly according to their mindset and taste. 
Two Wheels or Four?Why Not Both!
You don't only ride a motorcycle, you become one with the road. The wind in your face, the quick changes between lanes, and the adrenaline rush from the wild speed you can't find anywhere else. Conversely, Honda cars bring their own set of pleasures: comfort, security, and the pleasure of a peaceful drive with relatives and friends. Combining these worlds provides for an exploration of freedom and excitement, with something for every mood.
A Palette of Choices for All Enthusiasts.
The Honda vehicle line-up is renowned for its broad range, which means that there is always something for everyone. From the raw power of an adventure bike to the elegance of a sedan, our range is tailored to fulfill your every need and dream. Exploring both types of vehicles is like discovering a whole new world of fun. Whether you are looking for a calm individual ride or a family ride, all under the Honda brand.
Adventure is in Store! Honda Motorcycles 
For those who are looking for adventure, Honda motorcycles give a chance to ride on the open road and enjoy the excitement. Adventure bikes like the Africa Twin encourage riders to venture onto both asphalt and gravel, proving that limits are just a matter of interpretation. These bikes are your passport to adventure that guarantees every ride leads to excitement and surprise.
The Relaxation and Elegance in the Honda Cars
On the other hand, Honda cars can be considered a haven of comfort and luxury. The Accord and the Civic are the two vehicles that epitomize engineering excellence, which is a mix of performance and luxury. They are ideal companions for daily commutes or long, carefree drives where you can savor the journey as much as the destination.
Tailoring Your Experience
Personalization is the significant factor in developing the superior driving experience. Leasing options allow you to change look of you garage as you grow and evolve without having to commit to a permanent purchase. Honda leasing offers you the opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds, switching between the excitement of two wheels on one day, and the calmness of four on another, as your heart desires.
Join the Honda Family
Joining the Honda family isn’t just about driving a vehicle, it’s about having a lifestyle. A lifestyle where each ride is a journey of discovery and every trip an adventure waiting to occur. Through a legacy of dependability and innovation, Honda remains a leader for enthusiasts who want the ultimate driving experience.

You may explore the whole lineup of Honda products, which allows you to customize your driving experience to fit your lifestyle and make every trip more than just a drive.

Present in all countries hosting the MotoGP World Championship, Battipav will make the most of activations and sponsorship synergies.

STEFANO TONDINI –BATTIPAV GENERAL MANAGER
“With the arrival of Marc Marquez, we couldn’t but renew the partnership with the Gresini family for 2024! The Ambassador project by Battipav is going from strenght to strenght, not only in Europe but also around the world: in the most part of this year’s 21 races, the Ambassadors of the Battipav brand will be able to live the #BattipavExperience as protagonists, this year more than ever with the winning duo of the Marquez brothers. Team Gresini and Battipav share core values such as family, passion and Made in Italy with the Red (with a light-blue livery) machine from Borgo Panigale, so we start this 2024 full throttle and together once again!”

From the Track to the Street, New FTR x RSD Super Hooligan Inspires Riders to Unleash their Inner Hooligan
Designed with Race Graphics and Premium Performance Componentry
Indian Motorcycle, America’s First Motorcycle Company, today announced a collaboration with Roland Sands Design (RSD)® on a limited-edition FTR. Expertly designed by Indian Motorcycle and Roland Sands®, the all-new FTR celebrates the RSD® hooligan lifestyle – a “run-what-ya-brung,” bar-banging spirit of unbridled, fearless freedom found in this style of motorcycle racing.
From the track to the street, the FTR x RSD Super Hooligan inspires riders to unleash their inner hooligan. The all-new limited-edition FTR features Black Metallic bodywork with authentic Super Hooligan race graphics, a classic Indian Motorcycle Red frame with matching wheels featuring gold accent, and Indian Motorcycle Racing’s No. 1 championship logo on the front and side number plates. For an extra layer of authenticity, the FTR x RSD Super Hooligan features race team sponsors’ logos on its rear seat cowl. Additional graphics for the radiator shroud, front fender, and front forks will be supplied to owners for optional application. These premium components were thoughtfully curated to deliver an authentic, race-like experience to the rider.
“The term ‘hooligan’ has taken on an entirely new meaning in the world of motorcycles, characterised by a rebellious, fearless attitude that places having fun on a motorcycle above all else, and that’s what this new FTR is all about,” said Aaron Jax, vice president, Indian Motorcycle. “Roland Sands has blazed this trail and built the RSD brand around the hooligan lifestyle. From spinning laps on dirt ovals on mid-size cruisers, to today’s competitive racing within the MotoAmerica series, the ethos of hooligan riding has not changed.”
“Super Hooligan has always been about more than just racing. It’s about pushing boundaries and having a blast riding motorcycles with your friends,” said Roland Sands, Founder of RSD. “Far from the full fairing machines you normally see on the racetrack, a Super Hooligan bike has effortless attitude and a custom aesthetic with an exposed powertrain. When Indian Motorcycle approached us to codesign an Indian FTR for consumers, it was a natural fit, and something we were very excited to be a part of.”
Built upon the FTR R Carbon model, the FTR x RSD Super Hooligan offers performance branded parts and premium ride-enhancing technology. Fully adjustable Öhlins® inverted front forks and rear piggyback shock delivers exceptional ride and handling, while dual-disc Brembo® brakes provide ultimate stopping power. The bike’s 101 mm round touchscreen display powered by RIDE COMMAND offers vital bike and ride information, selectable ride modes for a customisable ride experience, along with Bluetooth and USB connectivity. The capabilities of RIDE COMMAND allow riders to take control like never before by enjoying seamless integration with their smartphones, tracking ride routes, keeping up to date with automated alerts of the motorcycle’s maintenance and health. In addition, an AkrapoviÄ® muffler and heat shield add style and improve sound, while Gilles Tooling parts, including adjustable rear-sets, oil cap, radiator cap, and bar-end weights, add to the bike’s premium finish – delivering authentic RSD Hooligan race style for the rider.
Interested riders should contact their authorised Indian Motorcycle dealer as soon as possible to reserve their individually numbered FTR x RSD Super Hooligan bike. Just 150 from the total of 300 will be available outside of North America and international shipping starts immediately.

The second and final day of official testing at the Losail International Circuit is over, effectively wrapping up the preseason for the MotoGP class. The next outing will be for the 2024 Qatari Grand Prix, taking place at the same venue from the 7th to the 10th of March. Two days of intense practice for Alex and Marc Marquez with different goals, but all in all similar to those targeted in Malaysia two weeks ago.
The feeling with this track is clearly on the rise with regards to Alex Marquez who here, a few months ago, had struggled to find “the sweet spot”. The confidence with the front-end has improved, and with a more stable bike overall, the #73 managed to put together some consistent on-track work on the longer run. On a lesser note, he had a crash at turn 14 during day one, from which he escaped uninjured.
Despite some minor technical issues (he had to stop at turn 15 after only a lap), Marc Marquez continued his familiarisation with the Desmosedici GP23 also during the second day and the results were not slow in coming. He did well in the time attack (fourth quickest time) as well as on the longer run despite his first crash (at turn 4, without a scratch).
“I felt more comfortable with the bike straight away here, I managed to start using the body more and that’s already an improvement. Instincts are still set on another type of motorcycle, but we’re working on that department and changing my riding style. We did well in the time attack, even though it’s still most difficult area for me. We’re improved our pace on the longer run, we tried many things and push towards the limit – while also finding the first crash (turn four). Are we happy? Yes, even though we’re still far from Bagnaia, Bastianini and Martin.”

13º - ALEX MARQUEZ #73
(Day1 best lap 1’52.556 – 53 laps)
(Day2 best lap 1’51.944 – 62 laps)
“Compared to November, the feeling has improved a lot; we had suffered a lot last year here. It must be said that the Losail track changes dramatically between one run and the other and it’s hard to have a smooth progression, but we’re getting there step by step. We’re preparing mostly for the race, so the single-lap performance is not as important. We tried many things even though yesterday’s crash cost us a rear tyre, and that affected our testing programme. We completed a 20-lap long run and we encountered some issues that we’ll need to analyse in the coming two weeks."
