God I hope not

That thing is singularly ugly. I hate the front end.

Bleugh!

It's the NAS concept bike, cunningly crafted by Honda USA out of Wisconsin cheese and week-old MacDonalds.

[Edit] By the way - that's about 3 or 4 years old.

looks weird, in a cool sorta way. i think its gonna grow on me....

**ScumKiller2** · 15th November 2005, 13:43

Wahhaay I am smart enough.....

Sort of goes against Honda marketing the firestorm as a sports-tourer at present....

some cool ideas - single side front fork with single suspension (like a cannondale MTB fork), radial brakes. pity the riding position looks like you need to marry an osteopath....

Just another concept bike 'fraid.

Check this out Marty!

Good guess.

how bout that! it's instantly recogniseable - takes the heavy front styling to another level. I LIKE IT. A LOT!!

Looks like it's from the movie tron. All it needs now is to be painted red or blue

So how does that single sided single fork front suspension work?

I reckon it looks awesome.

On that concept bike, probably not at all.
I've talked to Murkns who've seen the NAS in the flash (well, in the cheese) and they reckoned it's doubtful whether anything on the bike was functional.

Suzuki Nuda (and it's not a spelling error).

The sexiest concept bike ever. I love too.

Originated in 1986. Here's the detail http://www.suzukicycles.org/Concept-Suzuki/Nuda.shtml
