Honda launches the new NM4 Vultus, a sleek bike inspired by futuristic machines seen in the anime and manga television and film styles, known collectively as "Japanimation".
Created by a young design team that remained true to its original concept, the NM4 Vultus brings radical style to the streets, with function from the future for a new breed of rider. The NM4 represents a machine capable of crossing traditional two-wheeled lines and reaching out to a wider audience.
