First time I've equally liked and disliked a bike lol I like the concept but at the same time it just makes me go "whyyyyyy???"

That music tho...

less "new & exciting" and more "90s fishing boat promo"

if this is an official Honda video I wonder what their target market is for this...thing

Not a big fan of the design but still interesting to see that they are trying to do something different and not follow everything else. Hopefully they can make a few more concepts that aren't crazy looking that will attract peoples attention in a positive way.

Looks Akira'ish..

Not quite there. Fugly to me

is this actually in production? i'd ride it just so i can receive all the hate.
cool concept and out of the box styling... sorta. but wasn't really executed properly. imo.

WTF is right. Cannot see myself riding this....ever.

DN-01 move over. You are now the second most ugly thing I've seen.

This is my signature.....apparently

Looks like a la-z-boy on wheels...I don't get how you have any control of a bike when you're sitting back like that.

It's just a cruiser position. Weight is very low as is seat height.
It's Honda's response to the Burgman 650 and BMW GT650. - same price point but won't compete with either.

Linked single brake lever, roll and go DCT excellent gas mileage ( teensy tank )
The design is to get high mileage from them. More bikes will look like that.
The storage is non-existent without the factory luggage.

Not Honda's most glorious effort.

Good points, I'd take it over a Burgman.

Looks like a recumbant bicycle.

I hope the plant that makes them catches on fire so we never see them again.

that would be the idea...

The NM4 (NM stands for "New Motorcycle") is styled along “Japanimation” lines, and though the cult anime/manga bodywork is no doubt challenging to the eye of existing motorcycle enthusiasts, it’s not the styling that sets the NM4 apart – it's the combination of the very low seat height, semi-recumbent, feet-first rider posture, adjustable backrest and large futuristic dashboard to create what Honda describes as the seating position and cockpit of a “fighter pilot.”
