As part of the company's 60th anniversary celebration, Honda has introduced a breakthrough prototype of its future V4 racing motorcycle at the Intermot show in Cologne, Germany.

Presenting a dramatic new direction in Honda Europe's motorcycle design, the V4 Concept Model also marks a three decade history of racing two-wheelers powered by Honda's unique 4-cylinder V-engine with oval pistons. The company also says that the V4 Concept Model lays out a new global trend of "increasing value in more emotional and sensual performance during the real world riding experience," and a greater focus on user friendly design, along with safety and environmental features.
