Honda Neo Sports Café Concept I

After much teasing, Honda quietly debuted its Neo Sports Café concept at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show. Releasing nary a detail about the simple but modern motorcycle design, we are left to draw our own conclusions about the machine.

The Honda Neo Sports Cafe follows a retro-modern design with a minimalist approach. The motorcycle sports a metallic red finish with silver accents on the tank, rear sub-frame and alloy wheels. Its tank cowl features brushed metal finish and so does the fuel injector cover. The round headlamp is an LED unit, and the LED tail light is housed just below the seat. The tank extensions feature mesh intakes, and the upswept four-to-one exhaust comes with a mesh covering as well. The instrumentation is all-digital.

The motorcycle employs an inline four-cylinder engine with liquid cooling and fuel injection. The six-speed transmission unit is closer to the center for better mass centralization. The rear wheel is mounted on a single-sided swingarm. Suspension components include telescopic fork at the front and a rear monoshock. The motorcycle comes to a halt using twin discs with radial calipers at the front and a single disc at the rear.
