For urban riders, this could be a game changer. The quieter the bike, the less angry neighbors are and the more acceptance there is in city centers. Win-win!

Loud pipes do save lives, no way. Just making bikes quieter is going to hurt more riders who cars don't see.

I doubt it'll be as quiet as it sounds. I like that underseat exhaust look, but it might just send the noise up instead of back.

I'd definitely take a fleet of these over the obnoxiously loud bikes that wake me up every night if I lived on a busy street. Manufacturers should start taking noise pollution seriously.

You all think it will be quiet. If Honda goes the other way and makes it sound like a futuristic spaceship, will we be able to cope? Even worse than traditional exhaust notes could be that.

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?

The type of riders who are going to insist on having loud pipes on their bike aren’t going to be interested in this anyway; let’s be real. Clearly it's aimed at a different market.

I’d love a quieter bike as an urban commuter. I worry about safety, though, and now with all the silent electric cars on the road. Something has to be in the middle.

For motorcycle-based businesses like food delivery, this can be great. They might be able to use quieter bikes later into the night without bothering residents.

What I'm more interested in is how it sounds to the rider. The engine noise is half of the fun of a motorcycle. If it's too quiet, you'll feel like you're riding a bicycle with a motor.
Could the Honda SFA 150 start a trend of ‘modular’ motorcycles?

This would be amazing! What if you could change your bike from commuter to weekend tourer by swapping some modules? It's like Legos for adults!

In theory, it sounds cool, but I'm sure it'd be awful for maintenance. More failure points mean more potential connection points.

This can be huge for rental companies. That could give them a fleet of base models and different modules based on what the customer needs.

I’m not sure I like the idea of this as someone who likes to wrench on my own bike. However, it may make some repairs easier, or it may make things worse by increasing the number of proprietary parts that are difficult to obtain.

This could be good news for new riders. Begin with a basic setup, then add on modules as you get experience and see what type of riding suits your fancy.

I'm skeptical about safety. So how do you make sure that these modular parts stay together securely when you're going down the highway?

It could have a huge environmental impact. We could just replace worn-out modules instead of scrapping entire bikes. It's potentially much more sustainable.

Be careful with the subscription model! I can already imagine manufacturers trying to charge you a monthly fee to 'unlock' certain modules or features.

It could change the whole custom bike scene. Just imagine what wild designs people could come up with, mixed and matched from different manufacturers.

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.
