After first showing us the Honda SFA and Honda CRF250 Rally concepts, Big Red made good on its promise for another motorcycle concept premiere at the Osaka Motorcycle Show, debuting the Honda Bulldog concept.
With the face of a Ruckus, and built to “leisurely” take-on the great outdoors in an unassuming manor, the Honda Bulldog is a stout off-roader that adds a new slant to the term adventure-bike.
With wide 15″ knobby tires, a 28″ seat height, and 400cc parallel-twin engine mated to a six-speed gearbox, the Bulldog certainly isn’t what you expect to see bombing down the trails, yet it sorta makes sense.
Capable of riding two-up, and with storage for luggage in the fuel tank (of all places), the Honda Bulldog concept certainly has our attention.
Seemingly sharing an engine with the Japanese-market Honda CB400F, the Bulldog could be an easy transformation for Honda to make into a new model.
Time will tell if Honda pursues this unique motorcycle, but with the company’s current trend of busting established motorcycle segments, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the Bulldog in the 2016 lineup.
