OTHER THINGS TO KNOW…

THE BLADE that missed the boat • Some bikes make history. Others leave you wondering what history they could have made. Honda’s TT100 EvoBlade belongs firmly in the latter camp. A stunning homologation special created for TT glory, only to be denied its defining moment before a wheel had even turned in anger.
