Patent images suggest Honda City Adventure to see production soon

The bike is a hybrid of scooter, commuter, tourer and adventure bike and seems to have been privy to a series of alterations since it was last seen as a concept version.

These include the addition of radial front brake calipers, a slightly different exhaust and larger hand guards. Significantly, the bike has also seen the inclusion of reflectors on the fork legs and wire-spoked wheels.

It is thought that the motorcycle will start hitting the production line in 2017 but in the meantime, let us know your thoughts on the concept…

Edit (01/08/2017): So Honda did indeed launch the ‘City Adventure’, only it was actually called the X-ADV. Read more about it here.
