Honda is trying to translate the adventure bike to the urban sprawl with a new maxi-scooter concept.

The aggressive-looking City Adventure has dual-purpose tyres, angular bodywork reminiscent of current adventure bikes and even hand guards. It also has a clutch, which defies its clearly scooter-derived looks. Honda has not released any data about its drivetrain, but it’s possible the construction is unique to the machine. An adjustable screen is installed to give greater wind deflection for taller riders.

In a statement, Honda said: “The City Adventure concept offers a totally new interpretation of the idea of motorcycling adventure. It brings that spirit of adventure to the heart of the city and underlines Honda’s commitment to researching new ways of creating unique technology to enhance and enrich its customers’ lifestyles.”
