NM4 Power UnitNM4 Technical Specifications
NM4 Design
Side view design
The bold contour surface and the large overhang of the front fairing jut out to the right and left, with
the side view mirror built into the front fairing, to give a massive feel to the front area. In contrast, the
low and small rear area presents a sharp form creating a unique styling design overall for the NM4-
01/02. At the same time, ensuring a seat height of 650 mm, the lowest among Honda’s large
motorcycles, has successfully created a riding position with a lower eye level for the rider. The
distinctive field of vision with the meter in direct sight creates a riding position yielding the image of
the rider slipping into the cockpit. In this position, the rider sits astride the motorcycle to complete the overall form of the NM4, with a sense of oneness between rider and machine.

Front face design
The fairing highlights the unique character of the NM4-01/02 in the most prominent way, providing
sufficient wind protection while achieving a front-massive design. The bold contour of the fairing has
an original layout, with utility boxes in the front to the right and left, LED turn signals on the front end, and built-in mirrors on the both ends. The LED headlight, which leaves a forward glare impression, is positioned further inward from the front turn signals and highlights the presence of the
fairing while complementing the unique face design of the NM4-01/02.
The wide front face connects to the tank shelter with an integrated design feel, forming the most characteristic styling design of the NM4, along with its rear view.

Seat design
The seat shape of the NM4-01/02 plays a significant role in creating the distinct overall form. To create the cockpit position that personifies the NM4-01/02, a movable pillion seat with backrest functions supporting the rider’s riding posture and a seat shape ensuring just the right hold is used for improving rider comfort. The design also allows for tandem riding when the backrest is made flat. The backrest structure enables longitudinal adjustments among 4 positions (4 steps at 25-mm intervals) and switching among 3 steps for the backrest angle.
This setup allows a wide of range of riders with different body builds to enjoy riding the model in comfort.
To spice up the seat design, real sewing using red thread was performed for the stitched line, marking a clear distinction from the commonly used molded products, and offering pride of ownership to riders who are keen for things that are authentic.

Rear design
The rear quarter view of the NM4-01/02 offers an angle that brings out the best attractiveness of this model with its ultra-wide tires and low form. This is where the designers focused on the most along with the front design. The LED taillight is installed on the simple-contour rear cowl, and the sharpened rear shape helps accentuate the powerful front-massive form. The clearly visible wide tires highlight the unique atmosphere of the NM4-01/02. Boasting an integrated feel with the body and the perceived volume, the rear design of the NM4-02 creates an impressive rear view. A utility space where the rider can place small personal articles is secured on the right and left of the body, each with a capacity of about 7.5 liters.

Coloring concept
For the coloring, simple and cool monotone colors are used as the basic colors. Avoiding the use of ordinary stripes and any eye-catching logo with impact, the NM4 logo is instead casually etched onto
the sides of the rear cowl through concave molding, highlighting the model’s simple yet unique design character. The central area of the vehicle body consists of components coordinated in black
from front to rear, with black used exclusively around the engine as well, to accentuate the model’s distinctive coloring design.
