Will the Honda SFA 150’s unique design draw new riders or drive traditionalists away?

The motorcycle industry has always been split between the innovators and those who want to stick to classic designs. The Honda SFA 150 is clearly different for a motorcycle, and perhaps even for a bike, with its futuristic styling and unorthodox features such as the underseat exhaust. These questions regarding market acceptance and target demographics arise. Is its eye-catching look enough to entice younger riders, or will it be too 'out there'? What would a long-time motorcycle enthusiast’s reaction be to a design that radical? Could the SFA 150 be the bridge that fills the gap between two-wheeled scooters and larger motorcycles, creating a new category of urban riders? We’ll talk about what this might mean culturally for the motorcycle community.
