Just came across this in a mag. Pretty slick looking and looks to be a pretty nice power plant. I love the pipes on the concept!

Donor card?.....no way. They start taken' 'em as soon as you sign on the line.

I think it's rather ugly. Chopped up. Doesn't flow. Why not just drop an engine in a washer machine box and go on down the road?

I'm not a BMW fan, but I'd wheel it.

I'm not much for the blue accents (maybe if they were carbon fiber or charcoal colored), but other than that, I like it.

Its a cool concept...but from previous 'cool concepts' this one isn't likely to make a nice transition to production model in my opinion.

From what I can see, it was done mostly for the engine. I saw something about it likely going in to their next touring bike.

Can you say Benelli? I knew you could.

As a person who owned and rode a CBX over five years,
AND as a person who rode KZ and ZN1300s as a technician for fifteen,
I'll tell you every six cylinder bike I ever rode is an overweight dog.
I never rode a Valkyrie, but if my experience with GL1500s and GL 1800s is an indication I ain't missing anything.

The old road test cliche is "It loses 100 lbs at any speed over a walking pace"
The laws of physics are not immutable.

Another "bigger is better" concept bike.

 

[elr658]

Motor's identical to a CBX with a shaft drive and fuel injection.

 

[Vulcan900]

And they made it for what... 4 or 5 years?

My buddy's got one... They sound awesome with the cobra pipes and is pretty fast in a straight line, but it's like trying to steer the titanic in the corners...

 

[Vulcan900]

Definitely a collector’s item.... as I understand it was Honda's first step out of the box.

 

[V2K_CCTX]

i want one...

Hate those big fuel tanks but 6's keep you warm in the winter. My old CBX was a much warmer winter ride than my Custom. Of course those 6's can make it miserable sitting at red lights.
