Honda unveils the NM4 Vultus

Honda has just unveiled a futuristic cruiser and has named it the NM4 Vultus. The Japanese company has used the same 745cc parallel-twin engine as its NC750 range and put it into this bike. Do not for one moment think that this is a concept car, for it is a production version.

Like the other NC range, this one too pumps out 54bhp and 79Nm of torques. It comes with Honda's Dual Clutch Transmission system - an option on the NC750s - including semi and fully automatic modes.

The NM4 Vultus does look like something straight out of the bat cave where the rich masked vigilante has had a go at it. Honda however, says that the NM4 Vultus is 'inspired by futuristic machines seen in the anime and manga television and film styles, known collectively as "Japanimation'

The NM4 Vultus is created by a young design team who has brought radical style to the streets, with function from the future for a new breed of rider. The radical bike comes with LED lights, a stealth bomber look and future-ready shock absorbers

The rider also gets options between automatic twist-and-go D and S mode - plus trigger-operated computer game-style manual MT mode.

Honda has stretched the design boundaries a bit and though it might not impress the bikers belonging to the old school, it is certainly going to make one hell of an impression on the newbies.
