Honda is going to showcase the concept model Honda SFA Roadster in the upcoming Osaka motorcycle show in Japan, the show is scheduled for the coming weekend. This is not the first time Honda is showcasing this concept model, earlier also Honda had showcased the bike in Indonesia last year. It seems like Honda is bidding high on this concept and is taking the model quite seriously. No doubt, the bike looks great in its naked attire, the front headlight and the USD front fork looks inspired by KTM design and it would be a potential competitor of KTM Duke 200 in India and Duke 125 in international perspective. The bike is featured with 150cc 4-stroke liquid cooled engine plonked on an unique chassis which is a combination of front Trellis frame and a Cast mid section.
Honda is badly missing a genuine roadster in its product portfolio in India, the SFA 150 Roadster would be a perfect entry in this vaccant slot. We wish Honda would bring this concept bike as its production model to our shores. However there are many other parts which are featured on the concept SFA will never make it when it will come to production. The single side swingarm is one of those features which definitely looks gorgeous on the bike but we don't think that Honda would continue with it in the production model.
