The Project 2&4's floating seating design simultaneously evokes both a sport bike and a go-kart. There's no dashboard or windshield at all, and the driver simply gets a steering wheel and a glass panel for the instruments. It's hard to imagine pairing things down much more than this, especially since the whole vehicle weighs just 893 pounds.

The concept's other major piece of motorcycle DNA is the mid-mounted 1.0-liter V4 sourced from Honda's RC213V that races in MotoGP. Tuned here for road use, it puts down over 212 horsepower when spinning at 13,000 rpm, and peak torque of 87 pound-feet hits at a still stellar 10,500 rpm. The redline is at a stratospheric 14,000 rpm. The high-revving engine bangs through the gears through a six-speed dual clutch transmission.

Was the designer of that promptly fired by Honda because its not boring and beige?

I doubt a firing would have been sufficient. Probably burned or shredded.

Sad day.

That looks amazing. Now if the right hand side had a panel you could lift up so you could make it LHD or RHD just by u bolting the seat and ash and putting them on the other side, that would save a lot of conversion costs. They should make it, but they won't. It is good to see they haven't lost their craziness at least.
