I believe that this design could open the door to some innovative exhaust technology. What if they could tailor the sound to be detectable to nearby vehicles but less obtrusive to the rest of the world?

It’s an interesting concept, but I wonder if it will take away from the ‘soul’ of motorcycling. It's also part of the appeal—that the bike is a cohesive, purpose-built machine, not a collection of parts that can be swapped out.

You're all missing the point. This is not a design for traditional riders; it’s a design for a whole new category of urban mobility. It could be huge in Asia and Europe.

The SFA 150 is cool looking, but I'm not sure I want to put it on my body. However, that underseat exhaust might get the seat uncomfortably hot while riding in traffic for a long time. And good luck finding aftermarket luggage options for that unique rear end design.

I'm skeptical. Of course it will in some places, but most cities are having trouble keeping up with maintaining their current infrastructure. It seems unlikely that we'll add a whole new category of parking.

Honda SFA and CX-01 are both concept motorcycles and their official mileage figures were not revealed at the time of display. SFA is a 150 cc premium naked bike concept carrying features like liquid cooling whereas the CX-01 uses a 250 cc engine with fuel injection and liquid cooling. The new design language from Honda would carry the styling hues from both of these bike and CB Hornet presents a glimpse of these in the production guise.

Honda SFA 150 may launch as an all new premium naked 150 cc offering with liquid cooling and fuel injection but the production name is expected to stay different from its concept name. It would most probable use the CBR150R engine specs and due its lower overall weight, would prove to be a better sprinter. It can launch with a price tag of INR 1,10,000 and due to Honda's new scooter only factory, production of new bikes becomes more easy at other plants for the 2 wheeler manufacturer.

No exact launch date has been given by Honda over its SFA-150. It is expected to be priced around INR 1,00,000 and would compete against the KTM Duke 200 and other 150 cc naked street bikes. It will be powered by a 149.5 cc engine, producing 16.9 BHP @ 10,500 rpm and 13 NM @ 7500 rpm.
