NHTSA Complaint #11389349 — 2020 HONDA CRF1100D4

WHEN GARAGING, I HAVE TO ROLL BACK AND MOVE FORWARD TO SQUARE OFF. BEING AN AUTOMATIC, YOU HIT A SWITCH TO CHANGE N TO D. I HIT N, ROLLED BACK, HIT D AND RELEASED THE BRAKE. THE BIKE SHOT FORWARD WITH NO THROTTLE INPUT 10 - 15 FT HITTING A ROCK WALL AND THROWING ME AGAINST MY CAR PINNING ME. NO ONE HEARD ME HOLLER FOR HELP. I HELD THE BRAKE WHILE REACHING OVER WITH MY LEFT HAND AND HIT THE KILL SWITCH BEFORE HEAVING THE BIKE OFF ME. I WAS REALLY SHAKEN UP. THE INSURANCE CO. TOTALED THE BIKE. IT HAD HAPPENED TO MY WIFE TOO A MONTH AFTER GETTING THE BIKE. LUCKILY SHE WAS IN AN OPEN AREA. IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS AS INDICATED ON THE HONDA AFRICA TWIN FORUM.
