Honda shows bizarre V4 Concept Model, says it wants to make it

Just the other day we were harping on about the return of vibrant ’80s colors to motocross, but we didn’t expect to see the decade’s whacky concept bikes make a return too. The Honda V4 Concept Model looks like it’s made from plastic, uses hubless wheels, a faired-in front swingarm, tire covers, styling inspiration that comes from both the CBR1000RR and Goldwing and, yes, a V4 engine. The craziest thing? The company says, “This bike shows exactly what we can do and is the sort of thing that could be reality within a couple of years.”

Update: Honda has released a whole bunch of pictures of the V4 Concept Model, they’re after the jump.
