naw....  they're gonna use a smaller version of a collider to produce really awesome energy that will make lil black holes in turn will suck the edge of the wheel into itself providing rotational movement of wheel propelling said cycle. and because the particles will accelerate so fast and warp the time continuum making the wheel actually go back to it's previous self and be reformed before the lil black holes suck it in again...  and the cycle continues.  Bigsmile

Maybe I'm just getting old, but if this is the type of bike that we will be having produced down the road, then I am glad I was born when I was.  There is nothing about them that appeals to me.

I have always told my wife that when I have to quite riding bikes, a nice convertible is in our future.  Looks like maybe the convertible is closer than I think. Sad

 Headscratch  I think they forgot to add the axles and tires, and, um...  steering abilities??   Headscratch

 
Maybe it steers by bending in the middle?   Crazy

This should probably be called concept art rather than anything close to workable even as a prototype.  It looks more like a model of what you see in early concept drawings that are only for visual design and have no real ties to a workable prototype. I still dig it though. Way more than the production DN-01.

 Lol

I understand there's a drive system under that stuff...somewhere.  How does that power get to the ground?  Where do any moving parts actually touch pavement?  Or is this the new VFR Anti-gravity Hovercraft? Lol



Oh, they use the force. Nothing unusual for Honda. Yeah....the force.

Tires, maybe.


Tires? Where we're going, we don't need tires.  Lol

I doubt that there is enough exposed to do any real cornering! EEK!

I still don't understand how raising the rider can lower the center of gravity enough to be practical? It's like a cat with its tail in the air! Give me a Gurney Alligator!

And leaned over?

I think Honda just did that to make people go, "WTF?!?!"  Headscratch

or

Honda's engineers have been using all their R&D money on really good drugs and too much time getting plastered at karaoke bars instead of working on new models.

That is such a BS concept bike by Honda.  Basically a glorified card board cut out.  They couldn't even be bothered to make an even vaguely real looking attempt.
Other concept vehicles may not be runners, but at least they look like maybe you could see how they would work.

TRON!


Dang...beat me to it.   Lol

Still...I kinda like the stream-lining theme of the bike.  It is nice to see something different coming out of Big Red...well, at least in conceptual form.  Combined with some of their other recently-shown concept bikes, I'm hoping to see some truly unique bikes out on the road in the next few years.  

Cheers,

Joe

Wait a sec... I only measure 45º between the cylinders... coupled with the
obvious long stroke it adds up to more of a V2 than V4...

The only faith I've lost is with American Honda Motorcycle Division... why I'd fire the majority of them...
