Aimed at taking on Yamaha’s TMax-led dominance of the performance scooter market, few technical details are so far available.
What is confirmed is that it will come with Honda’s Dual Clutch Transmission – so far only available on the VFR1200F – which will mean both manual and automatic gear modes.
The wheels will be 17” and rear suspension will be supplied by PRO-LINK.
It is also claimed the bike will deliver better fuel efficiency than standard manual gearboxes, and that the “feet-forward” riding position will offer enhanced comfort and weather protection.
Whether these factors will ”offer the energetic riding sensation of a motorcycle but with the ease and convenience of a scooter” will be put to the test as soon as MCN can get its hands on a finished model.
