Josef A. Boyd (October 20, 1948 – May 27, 1998) was an American engineer employed by Honda R&D Americas in Torrance, California. He died in an accident involving another Honda employee, Dirk Vandenberg, while they were evaluating a pre-production version of the Honda CBR600F4 motorcycle. At the time of the accident, Boyd was apparently photographing the motorcycle being ridden by Mr Vandenberg at Willow Springs Raceway in Rosamond, California. Vandenberg also died in the accident.[1][2]
