    WTF is Honda thinking? NM4 Vultus

    Do any of us remember the Honda DN-01? Apparently Honda crossbred it's DNA with a stealth fighter and came up with this,

    Doesn't look like it from the pics. It does have changeable lighting on the instrument cluster. There is also a version with saddle bags.

    Honda should just switch to publishing free Internet porn because it seems that's all the folks can be happy with

    It seems every so often Honda likes to take risk with an unconventional design. Considering the DN-01 was an absolute failure why would Honda go in that direction again?

    Not gonna lie, looks ugly, massive and heavy, but I'd ride it. Not a big fan of forward foot controls or floor boards though.
    I give Honda props for innovating and experimenting with new body styles. Whether the masses embrace their new designs is another matter.

    It's a cruiser without looking like one. Ahead of its time for sure. I'd like to see it develop a cult following based on its take in the sights ergos, wind protection and well... Honda!

    It's not an innovative design, it's the bike from JUDGE DREDD.

    It's a showbike or a prototype. Looks like the lovechild of a Pacific Coast and a Transformer.

    With the auto tranny and the parallel (vertical) twin, engine what ya got is a really fast scooter.

    The Cameron reference to George Roeder could be George Sr. or George Jr. Both AMA Experts with National numbers.
