The Honda NM4 is a feet forwards motorcycle introduced by Honda for sale in June 2014. Internal documents, such as the service manual, refer to it as NC700J or NC700JD. The motorcycle is sold in Japan, Europe, the United Kingdom, and North America.
The NM4 was shown under the name "NM4 Vultus" as a concept motorcycle at the March, 2014 Osaka Motorcycle Show and Tokyo Motor Show. In April, Honda dropped the "Vultus" name in some markets but the motorcycle continued to be called the "NM4 Vultus" in branding and marketing material.
Design
It has a feet forwards design compared to the motorcycle in the anime Akira. Styling was provocative; critics described it as "front massive", as a "scootercycle hybrid" similar to Honda's DN-01, a "mashup", and one said "it isn't pretty".
The engine and dual clutch transmission were sourced from the production NC700 motorcycle/NC700D "Integra" scooter. The concept NM4-02 variant had panniers; the NM4-01 had none. The production NM4 will have 16 liter panniers. The Honda website says the model is a "limited edition".
