Honda?s latest concept motorcycles - the Slammer, the Switchblade and the Furious! By:Kartik Ware |Published :February 22, 2011 

Think Honda makes boring motorcycles? This trio should make you think twice. These three motorcycles are what you get when Honda gives three young designers from Honda R&D Americas, South California, three motorcycles based on the 2010 VT1300 motor (namely, a Stateline, a Sabre and a Fury), a limited budget and tells them to go nuts. The only two rules - the bikes should be fully running motorcycles, not extreme-looking standstill models and secondly, they must stay true to ‘the core of the production vehicle’. If you ask us, we don’t know how these bikes manage to do that! Anyway, these bikes made their debut in December 2010 at the CA International Motorcycle Show and will tour the Americas in 2011, dropping jaws wherever they go. Go on, feast youreyes. And pray that Honda makes them and brings them to India!

The Honda Stateline transmogrifies into the Slammer. And it’s all about those swooping lines! Designer Erik Dunshee’s interpretation of the bagger style of cruisers, the Slammer looks like a creature of the night, almost like Batman’s weekend getaway bike! The bodywork is a fully custom job coated with a two-tone satin metallic black and pearl black finish, while the front wheel is a 23-inch piece. Looking at those long and low lines lend this bike a flow we will gladly beg to see in motion. And in spite of the overall minimalistic look, the Slammer boasts fully adjustable air-ride suspension, a multimedia head unit with satellite navigation and GPS speed display and a 500-watt sound system with a 10-inch subwoofer. We thought Honda said ‘limited budget’ somewhere...
