Honda will debut a futuristic motorcycle concept for
Scarlett Johansson's upcoming film Ghost In The Shell this weekend. In the
film, Johansson will play the role of Major, who is miraculously saved from a
severe crash and then cyber-enhanced to become the perfect solider fighting
against criminals.
A very special Honda motorcycle concept will star in
various scenes. Based around the intriguing NM4 that was introduced in early
2014, the bike should be right at home when being ridden by Johansson.
As images of the bike show, its front end and front
fairings are very similar to the road-going NM4 but the mid-section and tail
end of the bike are totally bespoke. It includes a very sharp and seemingly
very uncomfortable seat, a single-sided swingarm and fully-covered carbon fiber
wheels with appropriately fat tires.
The film will be released globally on March 31st and
the new Honda NM4 concept will debut at the Osaka Motorcycle Show this weekend.
