The only faith I've lost is with American Honda Motorcycle Division... why I'd fire the majority of them...
starting with the ones who drive to work instead of ride to work...  

That is exactly what is wrong with Honda nowadays. The motorcycle guys have all been replaced with cars guys because thats where the big bucks are to keep the shareholders happy. It would truly suck to be a (motorcycle) R&D or future product development guy at Honda. It could very well be that we are witnessing the slow death of Honda's motorcycle division. Sad

It is truly SAD when you have a CONcept motorcycle that does not even have tires.
I didn't really like the NAS.  I could appreciate it, but it just wasn't the bike for me.  BUT you could see that it was possible.
This one... well... its red and shiny.

Sbarro's been working the concept for years.




Those wheels are not hubless, as evidenced by the big frigging hubs in the middle. They are simply "spokeless" wheels that use a clear plastic in place of the spokes that one would normally see. They are basically just clear wheels, that won't be clear after about five miles of dust from those gigantic disk brakes.

I have told women that jewelry itself is a waste of money as well, but I have had trouble selling that idea.

I don't get it.  How do you put power to the ground? Headscratch


If you have to ask, you have no clue as to the workings of Takeo Fukui or understanding of Honda Quantum Physics. Bigsmile

Wow I forgot about the NAS. It still looks pertty good for an 8 year old design. Some interesting functional points have found their way into production bikes. We got the rune but not the NAS...

Nah, those air scoops would have been increased by at least a factor of 10.   Wink

No...if he had, it'd be in production!!!

(I do see a couple of his "signature" design concepts in the NAS--both patented, too, IIRC.)
