You might recall back
in 2007, Dudel dug up this little patent office sketch submission from Honda. We looked at it and figured it might be Honda's replacement for the old school Helix (there will
never be a replacement for the Honda Helix).
Well today a mystery scooper pointed us to
Scooter-Station's report on the new 250cc Honda Faze, scheduled for a European release in 2010 (below).
I see some similarities to the sketch from 2007 with the biggest difference being the updated and easier to swallow (
B-King inspired?) front end. I love the big front/rear discs by the way. Oh! Watch a video
here.
Scooter-Station says the 250cc version is scheduled for Japan with the possibility of a 125cc coming to Europe for the added fuel economy and wider (teen) market. Right now we know the
SH150i and New
Elite (108cc) are headed our way for 2010, but still no mention of the Faze 250 or
Silverwing GT 600. What do you think? Late 2010? 2011? Never?
I'd personally like to see the Piaggio
X7 Evo 300cc come to the USA and give 'em a run for their money.
