The original Honda Gold Wing was a standard-style motorcycle. Honda has pretty much abandoned the high-output naked bike market lately with their 919 attempting and failing to hold the fort. Might Honda be looking to capture back a piece of that market? Take a look at the EV06 concept bike that Honda is set to show off next month in Tokyo. We love the looks of this bike, and think that the six -cylinder 1800-plus-cc engine looks way better in this naked bike application then it ever did in the Rune. While the similar engine in the Honda Gold Wing allows for adequate performance, in a smaller and lighter bike such as this it would truly be awe-inspiring. The fact that this bike is being shown in the first place should not be surprising considering that Suzuki has already announced its super-powerful Hayabusa-inspired B King, which comes with the former's 1340 cc four-cylinder engine, along with rumors that Kawasaki is considering offering a naked bike using the engine from the ZX-14. Honda does not have a large capacity four-pot engine to convert for naked bike use, but as this bike shows, it does have a monstrous and torque-rich six-cylinder just begging for duty in the same category. Honda should follow Aprilia's lead and not detune the engine or "tune it for torque". While some of the four-cylinder engines from Japan Inc. tend to be a bit "peaky", with this horizontally-opposed six, torque should not be a problem.
I'm not feeling it. Sorry, but a buddist in the family doesn't make you open-minded. It just means you're bangin' a buddist.

DAMN! that bike looks kickass. I'd so rock that bike. Blazing down the streets with no mufflers. I'm really loving the single sided swing arm to show off those killer wheels.

I think there are mufflers on there. It appears to be that the pipes come off the top of the engine, go into a muffling type apparatus, then the pipes come back out of the muffler thing, which then wrap around underneath the bike and then back out the sides. I could be totally wrong here though haha.
I think its pretty badass looking And you're right, those wheels are freaking PIMP.

The pipes on top are the intakes the ones on the bottom are exhaust, yank those baffles and I bet it will sound mean ass hell.
It's a flat six the silver box that says HONDA on it is the cylinder head

Ohhhhhhhh I get it now. Seems like having the cylinder head sticking out like that close to your legs it would generate a lot of heat...
That little tiny bit of blue on the rear shock adjuster just sets it off for me... oh yeah and THOSE WHEELS.
