The NM4 was shown under the name "NM4 Vultus" as aconcept motorcycle at the March, 2014 Osaka Motorcycle Show andTokyo Motor Show.[2] 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.
It has afeet forwards design compared to Kaneda's motorcycle in theanimeAkira.[2] Styling was provocative; critics described it as "front massive",[3] as a "scootercycle hybrid" similar to Honda'sDN-01,[4] a "mashup",[5] and one said "it isn't pretty".[6]
The engine anddual clutch transmission were sourced from the productionNC700 motorcycle/NC700D "Integra" scooter.[2] The concept NM4-02 variant hadpanniers; the NM4-01 had none.[6] The NM4-02 will have 7.5 liter pannier on each side.[7] The Honda website says the model is a "limited edition".[8]
