I don't know why, but that makes my back ache just looking at it.

The wheels are gorgeous, the rest is fugly.

Is it a mono shock on the front like on them cannondale mountig bikes?

Quite like it, think it would look nicer if they lost the ram air things at the front of the nose cone.

I still like it mind. Its just a concept I guess. Like the B King from whenever ago. Think something similar to that is going into production though.

Speaking of which, can anyone here not read "B. King" without thinking "Burger King"? Or is it just me?

This is the bumf that they put out to tempt us......


In 35th Tokyo motor show HONDA car & bicycle exhibition

Pursuing the ultimate technological beauty of the motorcycle, the Xaxis Super Sport concept model aggressively emphasizes the beauty inherent in mechanical hardware and raw materials in an innovative new design direction. Its DOHC V-twin engine is set into a lightweight Pivotless twin-spar frame with an eye-catching single-sided swingarm and front suspension, generating a nique sense of power and presence. Taking "functional beauty" into new realms are a new front brake with large, rim-mounted rotor for powerful braking control, a compact exhaust system with integrated, aerodynamic undercowl-shaped muffler, and a radiator built into its compact tail cowl. A new direction in Super Sport machines, the Xaxis fuses innovative styling

item specification
length(mm) 2,030
wide(mm) 730
hright(mm) 1,020
displacement(cm3) 995
engine water cooled 4 stroke DOHCV twin cylinder

Ok, I've got £3, best start saving

"Compact exhaust"? That belly pan is probably a CAT so it's not exactly "compact".

S'ok, but the front doesn't look right, s'pose they just want it to look different. They should just put a more conventional nose on it.
Will we ever see one on the streets though? doubt it.
