Exhibition model (prototype) CB Four

Length/2,124mm   Width/870mm   Height/1,140mm
Engine Type/Air-cooled 4-stroke DOHC inline-4

This 'Naked' model features the functional beauty and unmistakable lines of Honda's traditional in-line 4-cylinder engines, while eloquently expressing the essence of motorcycling in a powerful but simple design that highlights the beauty inherent in pure functionality. The engine, frame, and tank exhibit a refined, almost handworked feel that are sure to heighten any rider's sense of exhilaration. All in all, this CB Four offers the kind of universal appeal that makes it a perfect model to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Honda's CB-series inline-4 engine.

This lowdown version of the X4 features the same muscular 1,300cc inline-4 engine and the same hard-hitting acceleration. Its low-and-long form and low seat height give an impressive "lowrider" style, while its revised handlebar location ensures a comfortable riding position. Efficient carburetor settings and secondary air injection give this super dragger custom both high fuel efficiency and clean emissions.

Sharp, Spartan styling and brilliant handling and performance are what this V-Twin sportbike is all about. While by no means neglecting easy-to-use everyday rideability, it is also designed for easy upgrade to stronger performance ideal for privateer racing. Race friendly features include a lightweight, highly rigid aluminum twin-tube frame and a racing-type seat cowl with a very low coefficient of drag.

Length/2,040mm   Width/685mm    Height/1,135mm

Length/2,095mm   Width/740mm    Height/1,175mm
Engine Type/Liquid-cooled 4-stroke DOHC inline-4

Take the popular Hornet 600, with its big-bike feel and responsive 600-class handling, add a frame-mounted half-fairing offering excellent wind protection for high-speed cruising and improved fuel economy, and the result is the new Hornet S. Dual headlights, a 17-inch front wheel and other detailed improvements complete the redesign of this stylish, not-so-naked sportster.
