Honda
EVO6 Concept was first shown at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. The EVO6
Concept is powered by a large six-cylinder engine that was adopted from
the design of Honda Gold Wing Tourer. EVO6 aggressive design is a
combination of a Honda Sport elements with a Cruisers.
Here’s
a concept: Take a flat-six cylinder engine which has a capacity of
1,833 cc. Machine of that size can afford to power up to 240 hp (179
kW), put it in a minimalist chassis and give it slick, modern styling.
There’s a single-sided swingarm and the usual electronic instrumentation
you see on show vehicles, but what’s really interesting is what you
can’t see in the first publicity photos that were circulated in
magazines and on the ’net: the absence of both gearshift or clutch
levers.
Instead,
Honda uses its all-new "Human-Friendly Transmission" or HFT. This may
be a jump in transmission technology, using hydraulic pressure to
efficiently transmit power. It offers a "D" position for everyday riding
(Driving?), an "S" position (Sport?) for quicker acceleration and a
six-speed manual mode, as well.

It
drive on 17-inch billet aluminum wheels with a 220 mm rear tire. Even
the inside of the exhaust pipes have been rifled like the inside of a
gun barrel. Thin seats that are attached to the tail section design that is very popular at this time sportsbikes.
While
the engine is great and the stylists - were open and very striking -
beautiful sleek design complements the sporty and stylish tank mounted
thereon. At the rear, swing-arm that holds the rear wheel side is
expected to further add to the exoticism that is usually found in a pure
sport bike. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CENTRE HONDA GENEVE | MOTORCYCLE USA]
