Would that be the 'hondafont'? The one with the Honda logo and the wings?
If so, in the metric data you see that it is a licenced font: Font Family: Hondafont Full Name: Hondafont Style: Regular Postscript Name: Hondafont » Unique identifier « Sharkshock Productions: Honda Regular:1999, 2000 » Version « visit www.sharkshock.uni.cc » Trademark « Hondafont is a registered trademark of Sharkshock Productions. » Copyright « Hondafont © Dennis Ludlow 2000. All Rights Reserved » File data « Hondafont.ttf Date : 23 September 2000 Time : 21:44:18 Size : 34 KB (35,384 Byte) » Windows metric data « IBM font class: No Classification Font subclass: Vendor Name: HL Licence: The font is licensed.

Looks like you can use it. Licence info just says you may not modify or exchange it without permission:
Font Family: MotorBikez Full Name: MotorBikez Style: Regular Postscript Name: MotorBikez » Unique identifier « MotorBikez » Version « MotorBikez - Honda » Trademark « general_ike@hotmail.com » Copyright « MotorBike by general_ike@hotmail.com » File data « MotorBikez.ttf Date : 01 June 1998 Time : 21:19:50 Size : 144 KB (147,492 Byte) » Windows metric data « IBM font class: No Classification Font subclass: Vendor Name: MACR Licence: The font is licensed. Licensed fonts may not be modified or exchanged. The font must not be modified, embedded or exchanged in any manner without first obtaining permission of the legal owner. You found it on Dafont [where it has been for years], like Abstractfonts a site also very strict on copyright and commercial issues. So I guess you are pretty safe. But in in the metrics there is this email address: general_ike@hotmail.com So why not mail the general and ask? Have fun and ... be nice to the cats
