First showcased at the Honda RevFest 2015, the bike design is angular and the tank shrouds with carbon fibre pattern make it look aggressive. Honda has fitted 5-spoke split alloy wheels which are complimented by the short muffler.

It is on the rear, though, that the bike stands out visually, with the X-shaped LED tail lights and the wide 140mm rear tyre.
