Honda Motor Europe is quickly making a name for itself when it comes to drool-worthy concept designs for Europe’s motorcycle shows, and this latest example at the 2017 EICMA show is proof of that statement.

This is the Honda CB4 Interceptor concept, and it makes our Hormone Monster want to do dirty, dirty things to the computer screen.

A continuation of Honda’s Neo Sports Café design aesthetic, which brought us Honda’s first CB4 concept back in 2015, this new edition focuses on a “Sport Endurance” idea from Big Red.

Honda isn’t saying too much about its CB4 concept, and we are not sure they need to – the motorcycle speaks for itself. Just in case you can’t hear it, the retro-style standard is an appealing machine, which draws a distinct line to the Hondas of a couple generations ago.

The Honda CB4 concept seems to be built off the Honda CBR650F platform, though the concept is certainly as far as you can get from the CBR650F in terms of feeling and inspiration.

To that end, a single-sided swingarm has been added, the exhaust routed stylishly and polished, and we are a big fan of the solid iron front brake discs with radially mounted Tokico calipers, in red…naturally.
