This Bizarre Honda Motorcycle Is Straight Out Of A Batman Movie
By MATT SALTER
While Batman probably wouldn’t ride a touring motorcycle to fight crime, Honda's experimental NM4 Vultus somewhat resembles something that might be in the Dark Knight's collection.
Per Canada Motor Guide, Honda said of the Vultus that its "outrageous anime appearance represents the vision of a young, skunkworks design team from deep within Honda R&D."
It was unveiled as a concept at the 2014 Osaka Motor Show and entered production that year. Cycle World reported that it was fundamentally an aesthetic redesign of the NC750.
However, many reported that the Vultus sacrificed significant cargo space and made other quality-of-life concessions in its design. It also cost $2,000 more than a stock NC750.
