My pulse spiked reading the spec sheet. In-wheel motors front and rear is a fundamentally different idea from the old gasoline-engine-first layout. That extremely low ride height and riding position — this is the good part for me. If this is the shape of bikes past 2030, I'm genuinely excited.

With ride height this extreme, how do they even manage lean angle?

Can it even lean into corners at all, I wonder.

Doubt this ever becomes an actual production bike, no?

Yamaha's had EV concepts too, so the race keeps going.

I love that Honda's taking this seriously enough to build it.

In-wheel motors, nothing but pure romance right there.
