    TOKYO (Reuters) - Few auto makers boast a CEO who can demonstrate his company's racing vehicles at speeds of 181 miles an hour.

    Honda is one of them.

    Takeo Fukui, president and chief executive of Japan's third-biggest car maker, pulled off a publicity stunt Tuesday that had spectators applauding as he squeezed out of Honda's BARf-1 racing car after doing laps around the test track.

    What an unfortunate moniker for a racecar....

    To be fair, there IS a space in the car name in the article - BAR f1 :)

    Also saw this: Honda, (HMC: Research, Estimates) the world's top motorcycle maker, also announced prototypes of an electric moped and a gasoline-electric hybrid scooter
    I wonder what the battery capacity on the scooter would need to be in order to make a difference. Small scooters already get great mileage.
