No. 1 motorcycle brand rewrites history again: this time sparks will fly

The Japanese brand is preparing a launch that could be its first large street electric motorcycle

Honda has already started the countdown for a major new release. On its official website, it has published a teaser video that highlights a key date: September 2.

According to this video, it will be the launch day of a new model. It is something important.

According to Honda, "a new era is coming". Or at least, that's the title being announced.

You only need to watch it to realize that everything suggests it will be Honda's first commercial electric motorcycle, not a moped.

The video, posted on the brand's official YouTube channel, doesn't show clear images or technical details. It only leaves a brief message.

"Stay tuned," it suggests. But that's enough to spark the interest of the entire industry, especially considering the source of the announcement.

Honda may have moved more slowly than other brands in developing electric motorcycles. However, when it acts, it does so decisively.

This possible new model could change the landscape of the electric segment. It wouldn't be surprising if it introduced  unprecedented solutions in this type of motorcycle.

Stay informed

The Japanese brand has set up a form on its website for users who want to receive exclusive information.

At Fórmula Moto, we've already signed up to follow this presentation minute by minute.

We still don't know if  it will be an electric naked, an urban sport bike, or a new category. If Honda is fully entering the world of street electric motorcycles, it's because they've already made up their mind.

That is good news for everyone.

What will we find?

It's always difficult to make predictions in these cases, but that it will be the brand with the Extended Wing's first electric is very likely, not only because of the content of the teaser.

Honda itself said at EICMA 2024 that  a motorcycle like this would arrive this year. Honda usually keeps these promises.

Futuristic lines, a TFT display, and LED lighting are certain. If the motorcycle is inspired by the one we saw at the Milan show, it will be a naked with a somewhat sporty style. It will surely have a range that, if not surprising, will at least be sufficient for daily use.

To know if its price will also surprise us, for better or worse, we will surely have to wait a bit longer
