Honda continues to push the boundaries of modern design with two concept NM4 motorcycles unveiled at the 30th Osaka Motorcycle Show today.

The bikes look like yet another crossover attempt between cruiser, scooter and tourer with the addition of a massive lounge chair backrest on the low 650mm seat.

Up front is a Batman-style fairing with LED headlights, indicators and taillight. The NM4-01 is a naked bike with the massive 200mm rear tyre exposed, while the NM4-02 features integrated panniers like the Deauville.

It is powered by the now-ubiquitous 745cc parallel twin with dual clutch transmission.

Honda claims the concept is planned for production.

What do you think of the design? Has Honda gone too far, or is this the future of motorcycling?
