    NM4

    Today got to ride with some temps close to 80 degrees and sunny, it was great. 10 bikes and for the first time I saw and sat on a Honda NM4. A really special bike like no other, an automatic 6 speed with antilock brakes and futuristic styling. Kinda a wilder little brother to the F6B. The Owner was really interested in my bike and I think wished he could have upgraded but as a new rider felt the little 670 was a better fit. It was really small and a very low seat height for my big self. I found it very interesting to look at and found things to admire. Now if it was twice the physical size and three times the CCs I would be interested.

    I've never seen one on the road, but the styling is way too radical for me. My motorcycling tastes have not evolved that far yet.

    ^^ I was thinking the same thing... wish it had a shaft drive. ^^

    Would be a great mini-tourer for my daughter... especially with that automatic transmission.

    Those side cases are deceptive, they are basically glove boxes.

    Rode with the guy again today and last time he was concerned about going 100 miles plus on a tank as He said the tank was small. So He looked it up and it only holds 3 Gal. But today we stopped for gas a 85 miles and his bike only needed 1.2 gallons. That is some good mileage. I guess Honda wanted the higher efficiency of chain drive.

    I would even settle for a belt drive over the chain. Much quieter.

    Now that's a good idea.
