MARVING SUPERLINE FROM WMD
February 3 2012.

The Marving Superline range of performance exhausts for Japanese sports bikes is now available to order from leading trade parts supplier WMD.


Performance exhaust manufacturers invariably cater only for the latest machines, which means if you've got a 1990's or earlier sports bike and want a performance boost, you will most likely be out of luck.

To overcome this gap in the market, WMD now lists the entire range of Marving made-to-order Superline silencers, which fit a wide range of models dating from 1987 up to 2009.

HONDA THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
January 31 2012.

Honda release:

Despite the enormous impact of the flooding in Thailand to the company’s business and the unfavorable currency effects due to the appreciation of the Japanese yen, consolidated operating income for the fiscal third quarter (October 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011) amounted to 44.2 billion yen, due mostly to the recovery of automobile sales in major markets, the contribution of steady motorcycle business in emerging markets, and companywide efforts. Furthermore, net income amounted to 47.6 billion yen despite the impact of tax revisions on the company’s deferred tax assets.

As per the previously announced forecast, the quarterly dividend for the fiscal third quarter will be 15 yen per share of common stock with the record date of December 31, 2011. Despite the negative impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake, the flooding in Thailand, and the appreciation of the Japanese yen, the total annual dividend per share of common stock to be paid for this fiscal year (ending March 31, 2012) is also expected to remain 60 yen as per the previously announced forecast.

With companywide efforts to minimize the negative impacts of the decline in worldwide automobile production because of the Great East Japan Earthquake and the flooding in Thailand, and the historic appreciation of the Japanese yen, Honda made a revision to the forecasts for the consolidated financial results for this fiscal year as follows with:

Net sales and other operating revenue: 7,850 billion yen
Operating income: 200 billion yen
Income before income taxes: 250 billion yen
Net income*1: 215 billion yen
These forecasts are based on the assumption of worldwide automobile sales of 3.15 million units and the average currency exchange rates of 77 yen = USD 1 and 97 yen = Euro 1 for the fiscal fourth quarter and 78 yen = USD 1 and 106 yen = Euro1 for the fiscal year.
