    Honda NM4 Vultus – first look

    They sure are getting, errr, creative with the NC mechanicals. Wonder if it's for real.

    That's shit.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Yup. That's a bike people would buy.

    I agree, that's a beautiful bike that a motorcyclist would buy. The idea here presumably is to appeal to other people (specifically manga/sci-fi geeks in this case, apparently). Combine it with one of these http://shark-helmets.com/product.php...sous_gamme=RAW and no one can see your zits.

    Isn't that the only way to get new customers? Seems that's what they've built the modular platform for...you never know, it might work.

    You want Sci-Fi appeal? The modern iteration of the CB1100R above has a Cyberman face. The other thing is shit.

    Hey it does too! Probably will try to kill you as well, might get to meet 'Doctor who?' in person heh groan.

    Maybe a Tardis-themed version is next.

    Retro sci-fi is shit too.

    Still, the CB does look like more of a rider's bike.
