Re:Honda SilverWing T600 ABS
Japan’s Honda Motor plans to revive the very model of the original scooter eighties of the last century, which was then known as the Honda Motocompo.
What is presented in the photo, it’s a prototype, the launch of a series which could be announced at any time.
The original Honda Motocompo appeared 30 years ago. It was launched in 1981 and was designed specifically so as to climb into the trunk of a new car model of Honda Fit – the smallest car brand.
Its handles and seat is so that we obtain a suitcase on wheels, which is ideally included in the trunk of the car.
The Honda was calculated on the great popularity of these devices, expecting to sell up to ten thousand pieces per month. But hopes were dashed. Despite the fact that she Honda Fit buyers liked and enjoyed just a mad success, the majority of customers have decided that the right to the car they do not need a scooter – so for three years, from 1981 to 1983, has sold just 53,369 of these scooters, and Production has been curtailed.
Several times Honda back to this idea, but then it was limited to concepts, in particular, electric models e-Dax and e-NSR in 2001, and prior to production is not reached.
The new version looks much more serious. It is frankly more than the original Motocompo. The whole idea of the principle remains the same – all the most well-knit, and all surfaces as smooth. The instrument panel is built into a box like the iPhone, which also made removable. Conventional petrol engine. Judging by the size of the machine, it should already be at least 125-cc four-stroke machine, rather than push-pull “fifty dollars”, what was the original Motocompo.
According to experts, the new scooter can be represented either by the Geneva Motor Show in early March, or at the Tokyo Motor Show in October.
Original Motocompo, as well as the actual Honda Fit, widely publicized in Japan, the musical themes for several movies performed by the band Madness.
