This, according to a Honda concept at EICMA 2015.

Oooh, that looks great, even though I'd never take it off road.

don't think I'd fancy those tyres on road either though,

it does looks strangely appealing, sort of Gilera Runner crossed with BMW GS

i like it! I'd want to see more legshield and stepthrough before making anything about it being a scooter, though - looks just like a super-light multi-purpose bike to me

My Yamaha Zuma originally had somewhat knobby tires, just about like those on this Honda. The Zuma has hand shields like a "real" adventure bike, too. But I don't think knobby tires alone make an off-road bike. Though I've never tried, I don't think my Zuma has the ground clearance or the low-end torque (with a scooter's CVT) for serious off-roading.

I notice that this Honda concept has a 17 inch front wheel, so in that way it's more of a motorcycle with a scooter seat. Maybe it could be a "scrambler".

I do like the idea.

It's hard to get a feeling for the size of the bike since there is nothing to show scale but I wonder if this might indicate that
the concept is based on the Integra scooter which has 17" wheels. The controls on the left bar have plus and minus buttons
like the DCT and the exhaust has two outlets which might hint at a twin cylinder motor and it has a chain final drive.
It would really be interesting with a 750cc motor like the Integra.

Among Honda scooters, this is the best-looking I've seen thus far. But at this size, wheels and all, they're further blurring that ever-thinning line between "maxi" and moto, yes?

Yeah, agree. DCT based model, similar in profile to the Integra. I suspect it's bigger than it appears - it looks kind of dinky in the pictures.

Looks great though. Want.

Here is a video, it gives a better idea of the size.

I like it a lot.
