It’s okay to admit, as this is a place of understanding and care. We’ve all ridden three-wheelers once or twice, and now thanks to Honda, we’ve got no reason to hide in the closet. Stand proud, three-wheelers are cool now.
To be completely honest, it’s not like Honda has always been the company that did things the “old way.” But what truly amazes people is that the above F-14 is actually not a fighter jet, nor is it a transformer, nor is it even made by Honda.
Well, the 120 horsepower 999cc Honda RC51 engine is.
The designer Alex Hodge of New Ze…Zeeelan…Zealand is likely not to ever see this beauty created, and admittedly I think Honda is missing out on the future of automobiles. He was noted with saying “The Hawk is a concept motorbike designed in my spare time during study of Industrial Design.” Well Mr. Hodge, I hope you get hired with some automobile firm, because you’ve got quite the future ahead of you.
Now how come the american automotive companies can’t seem to get it right like Honda and Mr. Hodge?
As a veteran of the domestic auto industry (advertising agencies) that came up with similar great concepts only to see them slapped down by dim witted auto executives I applaud Honda and Mr. Hodge with a vulcan “live long” salute!
Here’s hoping someone in Detroit gets it, or I’m moving to Japan!
