Honda has demonstrated motorcycle safety technology for the first time at an automotive technology event in Germany earlier this month.

The move is in line with UK government initiatives launched in July to encourage manufacturers to consider motorcycle safety and put together an assessment programme.

According to the government, motorcycles account for one per cent of road traffic, but account for 20 per cent of those killed on the road.
