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. |

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?
