I like it. Reminds me a bit of the old CX Turbo. I am also pleased by the browness of the seat.

I'd say it was more 'tan' than brown.

That’s a great way to put the world off motorcycling. Think of the lives that would be saved….

A decent paint job and a bigger headlamp and cowl would help.

More interested in what it weighs and how it goes and handles tbh.

Beige, tan and grey - what an inspiring colour palette. And that fairing! and those shoes!

I suspect it's not exactly aimed at the likes of me.

It might be a great way to put you off motorcycles, but to think you can speak on behalf of everyone in the world is a little bizarre!!?

It reminds me of my BMW 850RT.

But not in a particularly good way.

Worth considering, though, the Honda isn't a full fairing, it's covers over the battery.

Would be interesting to see what it looks like with a rider.

Probably still equally awful ...
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

NHS issue colour choices are certainly a bit weird.

I'm guessing here but I suspect all the bodywork is moulded plastic and what you see is the colour of the material as fed into the machine rather than any applied coating.

They probably picked the cheapest/lowest pigment options. :(

DeBolex did one just for me, it would seem.

I don't hate it.
20hp and top speed @70mph, so it's around about equivalent of a 125cc four stroke for top speed and maybe a 250 in acceleration, since electric horses always seems to accelerate faster than petrol ones. It'd suit my use case well in that sense.
Looks better in black, although it's still definitely umm quirky.

Why did they fit a rear disc to the front end? Regenerative braking can only work on the rear, which isn't doing the lion's share on a bike. And I doubt it'll be all that light?
