Honda Hydrogen CB750 Motorbike Concept

If Honda wishes to bring back the CB750, look no further than Igor Chak’s Hydrogen concept.
The bike — which ran in production from 1969 to 2003 — was an unprecedented piece of machinery. It was the first to offer a front disc brake and an straight-4 engine with an overhead camshaft all on one affordable, production bike.

I don't really like the look of it but a hydrogen powered bike does sound interesting.

Its a concept, its supposed to be ugly as fuck... so they can then improve it and make it awesome in the pre-production model then modify all the nice features and totally fuck it up in production.

Why don't the electric/hydrogen bikes look just like normal bikes? It will increase uptake dramatically. Instead they try and make them look like something from a sci fi movie and fail badly.

In the future CAD software will not support curves... its pretty obvious.

On the safety side of things, the bike has ABS, an airbag, steering damper and radar technology. The radar can sense an upcoming head-on collision and automatically slow the bike
How does it sense a head on collision?

Does that mean if you want to end it all, it won't let you run into a pylon?

I guess it knows the bike speed and the speed of the object coming towards it.

Its all a bit HAL 9000 for my liking.. in more ways than one.

It reminds me of a jetski the way the handlebars pop out of the fairings...

I'd ride it, if it were to ever get made

What would be awesome, is if you could control the water jet thing that spurts out the back as a byproduct of the hydrogen power generating process. How awesome would that be? Cager pissing you off? Squirt water in their window

Also, I'd be worried no one would hear me and run me over on that. I feel nervous enough when I'm riding someone elses bike with standard pipes, let alone a hydrogen one. It'd be virtually silent.

GPS mode is like your standard GPS that will give you directions and etc, but it will be connected to the internet through Wi-Fi and 3G. This will enable you to find information on the go and implement it to your rout.
Plus, when you are halfway home, you can turn your air con on, feed the cat and get it to wash the dishes remotely.

They should make a 250 version so learners can learn to twitter and do O-turns at the same time. for safety.

Pictures owner talking about their bike in a negative light over a coffee at a cafe and the bike lipreading everything... then going homicidal. "Daisy, Daisy..."

Why? It's a hydrogen powered internal combustion engine, not a fuel cell motor.
