Big surprise for lovers of the Honda brand. A series of jaw-dropping models has been launched.
The presentation took place during the Wheels and Waves festival in Biarriz, France, where they will remain available to the public until the end of the event, scheduled for June 16th. However, those who are interested and do not have the opportunity to travel to New Aquitaine, you can immerse yourself in these two-wheeled beauties from home by visiting the hondacustoms.com portal. Usable throughout the summer, it will give riders the opportunity to create their own personalized motorbike and download wallpapers for their smartphone or PC.
The starting model is one scrambler equipped with a twin cylinder also suitable for those with an A2 licence, very fun to drive, as well as versatile, it manages to move well on asphalt, as well as on lighter dirt sections. Among its strong points we have the rounded 12-litre tank, shaped with recesses to protect the legs, but also some exposed sections such as the engine, the frame, the swingarm and the shock absorbers, all rigorously painted black to stand out.
Honda, never seen anything like it. Customers crazy with joy
The currently admirable CL500s include designs from almost all European nations. Here we will look at just a few. Let’s start from Italy with the specimen Rammed Earth 500. Suitable for any type of surface, it is equipped with a brushed aluminum front mudguard, a black anodized luggage rack, a high windshield with GPS support and knobby tyres.
From England, designed by the Doble Motorcycles collective, instead it arrives Poseidon Project. The chassis takes up the colors of the ocean by mixing green and blue, the saddle is finished in brown leather, while the side panels are airbrushed.
We go to Germany with the CL Surfer imagined by the Honda Center in Frankfurt. Looking at it you immediately notice the metallic silver tank, the double mudguards, the sporty style clip-on handlebars, exhaust and saddle tailored to the customer’s needs.
From France-based Starbike Honda, the Irezumi it is minimalist, but refined. The paintwork is very particular, but what is most striking are the decidedly small tail, the exhaust with satin silencer and the bronze colored seat.
We close with the ImPrint Bunker made in Türkiye. With a retro café racer flavour, it features a hull printed in 3D FDM Nylon reinforced with fibreglass; the use of the CBR250R’s upside-down front fork is interesting.
