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,

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

It's cool, innovative, and evocative. Everything Honda seems to be avoiding at the moment.  Undecided

i am not familiar with Honda's designs, this is unusual for them.

Not a big fan of the single sided front fork. It looks good in the back though.

well it is a concept bike.

fwiw, their rc45s were raced with dry clutches, but the homologated (production) model was wet.

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.

i wonder what they have against using a dry clutch for the street bike?
