Honda is one of those rare
manufacturers that makes both cars and motorcycles. Lucky us, it brought plenty
of both to the Tokyo Motor Show this year, including this here concept bike.
Called the Neo Sports Café Concept, the show bike
envisions a reinterpretation of the classic motorcycle form that's grown so
much in popularity that even Ducati, BMW and Harley have gotten in on it.
While retaining the classic proportions of a café
racer, the Neo Sports concept modernizes certain aspects not unlike what the
Urban EV concept has done on four wheels. Everything looks cleaner and more
up-to-date as a result, from the LED headlight ring and digital instruments, to
the wire-spoke alloys and angled pipes.
Honda hasn't disclosed much in the way of technical
specifications, but judging from the four-into-one exhaust setup, we could be
looking at a four-cylinder engine – perhaps the 1140cc unit from the CB1100,
which is, after all, Honda's premier café racer currently available.
Of course the Neo Sports Café isn't the only
motorcycle that Honda brought out for the show. It's also showcasing the Riding
Assist-e self-balancing concept bike, a new Gold Wing, a couple of electrified
PCX scooters, the classic little Monkey 125, and a handful of Super Cubs to
celebrate the model's 100-million-made milestone.
