Title: Some Honda Eye candy Post by: MendoDave on January 30, 2010, 02:38:53 PM This is old but I came across this again. It's a prototype Honda with lots of bling. Could have been the new Super Hawk and I wish it was. The engine is the 4 valve 996 VTR1000 engine used in the aforementioned bike,

That swing arm is sweet.
This is the kind of stuff they should be building Title: Re: Some Honda Eye candy Post by: ducatiz on January 30, 2010, 03:08:09 PM what's with the clutch.. looks like a perfed mesh cover?

Title: Re: Some Honda Eye candy Post by: superjohn on January 30, 2010, 05:33:27 PM It's cool, innovative, and evocative. Everything Honda seems to be avoiding at the moment. :-\

Title: Re: Some Honda Eye candy Post by: lazylightnin717 on January 31, 2010, 07:03:30 AM Not a big fan of the single sided front fork. It looks good in the back though.
Title: Re: Some Honda Eye candy Post by: derby on January 31, 2010, 07:10:14 AM i am not familiar with Honda's designs, this is unusual for them. well it is a concept bike. fwiw, their rc45s were raced with dry clutches, but the homologated (production) model was wet. Title: Re: Some Honda Eye candy Post by: MendoDave on January 31, 2010, 07:18:25 AM Honda big mistake was making the Ducati Supersport/superbike knockoff in the first place, and then not updating it with any of this cool stuff. Seems like a lot of Superhawk owners became Ducati owners. I wish i would have kept mine for a track bike though.

Title: Re: Some Honda Eye candy Post by: Wonked on January 31, 2010, 01:08:41 PM That bike is really good looking. I would love to own one.

Id ride that thing all over the place Title: Re: Some Honda Eye candy Post by: EvilSteve on February 01, 2010, 05:11:04 AM Love that bike, it's a shame Honda doesn't build stuff like this.
Oh, wait, I was forgetting the "groundbreaking" DN-01... [puke] Title: Re: Some Honda Eye candy Post by: ducatiz on February 01, 2010, 05:59:55 AM Oh, wait, I was forgetting the "groundbreaking" DN-01... [puke] did it come with a backhoe attachment?? Title: Re: Some Honda Eye candy Post by: EvilSteve on February 01, 2010, 06:53:14 AM Shhhh! You'll give Honda more ideas!
