I Have Not Really Kept Up On The Motorcycle Scene,

but this futuristic bike caught my eye,

at first glance it looks like it could be a concept bike that manufactures exhibit at shows, but this is the NM4 Vultus, it is propelled by a 745cc, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, 8-valve, SOHC parallel 2-cylinder engine which generates a maximum power of 40.3kW at 6,250rpm and 68Nm of torque at 4,750rpm, the engine’s power is transmitted by a standard Dual Clutch Transmission system, it has an estimated top speed of 112 m.p.h.,

the motorcycle’s backbone is represented by a steel diamond frame which sits on 43mm telescopic forks (125mm stroke) and a rear mono-shock absorber which delivers 100 mm of wheel travel, the stopping power is handled by front 320mm wavy discs grabbed by two-piston brake callipers and rear 240mm wavy discs paired with single-piston callipers, for enhanced stopping power the motorcycle is also equipped with a two-channel ABS system, 

now here is the neat bit, the rear pillion seat flips upright when not in use, locking to provide the rider with a secure backrest and almost fighter pilot riding position, its angle can be adjusted through 3 positions and it slides back/forward 25mm through four settings, to fine-tune comfort for the rider, will this futuristic design be a success for Honda? only time will tell but they are hoping to move 2,000 units in its first year of production, as of now no indication of price, would I like one?, well yes, if only to be different.
