The Honda Bulldog Concept Motorcycle may be designed to be the ideal traveling partner, but upon first glance, seasoned bikers might not see it that way. That is because the design moves away from traditional leisure bikes for something much more rugged and modern. The Honda Bulldog Concept Motorcycle is equipped to hold camping and touring equipment to encourage people to actively enjoy the great outdoors.
Unveiled at the 31st Osaka Motorcycle Show 2015, the Honda Bulldog Concept Motorcycle boasts more than great storage. It features "a liquid-cooled, 4-stroke DOHC inline 2-cylinder 400cc engine, 15-inch wide tires, a low seat, a built-in carrier, a six-speed transmission [and] dual headlights," reports Uncrate. Honda writes, "Its unique robust, yet charming styling undoubtedly brings smiles to the faces of not only riders, but people who don’t usually ride motorcycles."
