Honda NM4
Originally shown as a 'concept bike', the NM4 will be released as a production model in the US in June. Based off the NC750/Integra, it features a low saddle height, scooter type riding position, and , ahem, 'distinctive styling'.It will be available either with or without the rather strangely shaped panniers, (pannier version to be called the NM4 - 2), and it's 'unique feature' is that the instrument backlight colour will be changable at the press of a button.
More details on the Honda US website, and I read on the Web that Honda UK are thinking about importing 25 for sale here. Do they think that there's as big a market as that for this bike?
My view is that they've taken one of the most interesting designs they've had for years and made a bit of a pig's ear out of it. The NC750 and Integra are very well developed bikes, so why do they feel the need to make something as hideous as this out of them?
BURN IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!!
