    I like it. Proportions/balance kinda make me think 'Japanese Chopper'.

    On the other hand I would never own one unless it was given to me, and even then I'd probably need another 20 years on me before something like that is fun.

    That CB1100R on the other hand....

    Could be a JDM only model; it's not too different from some of the big scooters that are popular over there. Bit embarrassing anywhere else though.

    Honda have made some of the prettiest bikes ever, I just don't believe some of the crap they are offering now. The DN-01 failed so they bring out this rubbish.
    Compare that to the Yamaha MT-09 or MT-07 - what a fail. Somebody high up the Honda food chain needs to fall on their sword, or be pushed.

    I read a bit of the history on the NSR500 last night, and to be honest it seems like they've been slow learners for quite some time

    So a 750cc twin automatic scooter-bike is a penis extension, but a 1000cc sportsbike isn't?

    I went for a walk yesterday. The (re)Vultus makes an Aprilia SRV850 look fucking sexy.

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

    As an aside, IF this bike came mated to a 200bhp 1200cc V4 would that change your opinions??
    Whats he building in there??

    Aprilia don't make a 1200cc V4.

    Well be more precise then. And no. I wouldn't buy the Honda if it had a 1200cc V4. If it did it would be characterless and mated to a weird transmission.

    I'm not against the NM4. shame about the top heavy one, would look better with the concept's screen.

    a red one with Akira inspired decals, like the "Canon", "arai", "shoei" and stuff would look pretty sweet.
    I'd have one.

    If I lived in Japan for sure.

    The Accountants at Honda are clearly in command.

    This bike is the result of applying the rarely known or talked about Accounting formula of reversed engineering known as the Cost Reduction Accounting Principle. CRAP for short. The principle being design a product so ugly it wont sell and therefore generating massive savings in long term production costs. Clever buggers really.
