Wonderful World of Scooters
According to Spanish news site Solomoto, Honda is about to launch a bike based on their EVO 6 concept. The EVO 6 debuted at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2007. Current Honda President, Takeo Fukui, anticipated that before he left Honda the company would build a bike as innovative as the EVO 6 concept. Fukui is scheduled to be replaced by Takanobu Ito at the end of this month.
Also part of this announcement is the introduction of Honda’s upcoming factory in Kumamoto, which will take over production of the Goldwing touring motorcycle meaning production of the Goldwing will leave its current home in Marysville, OH. As the EVO 6 will use the same 150hp 6-cylinder powerplant as the Goldwing, it is expected that the production of the EVO 6 concept will also occur in Kumamoto. Honda will likely adjust the concept to meet more realistic production specs. Look for a showing of the final design sometime in the Fall.
The Wonderful world of scooters, continues to grow in popularity amoung consumers, its expected to outsell motorbikes in China and developing nations by 2010.

Just digested all the specs and sat on the DN01. What is Honda thinking of offering such a lame and under powered bike!! In the meantime, sitting in the wings is the real star of the show, the EV06!! What better way to showcase the HFT tranny and give us oldtimers a great commuter. I am a handicapped rider who has trouble shifting {artificial left knee and damaged foot}. Honda is the leader in motorcycles and sets the trends. Better yet, take a lead from the car guys and offer your entire bike line the choice of manual or auto trannys. Iv’e never written like this before but I strongly believe the HFT will allow riders to extend their riding years and bring new riders into the sport who may not like to shift. Thank you for your time.. J.Penney
