While many urban motorbikes in recent years have taken on a beefy, muscular appearance, there's no question that more clean and elegant automotive designs are coming back into fashion, which is precisely why noted Japanese automaker Honda unveiled a motorbike with a slim form factor that has both the efficiency and style required in the modern urban jungle.
Dubbed the CB300R, this new Honda motorbike features a minimalist design that is highlighted by a rotund LED headlight, an aerodynamic tail and a sleek LCD monitor. Even the motorbike's engine has received a fashion-forward update that also happens to make it more lightweight.
Set to be made available for a price of $4,649 in July, the Honda CB300R is a cutting-edge urban motorbike that is designed to easily navigate around compact urban environments, while attracting plenty of jealous stares along the way.
