Honda revealed its EV Fun concept in 2024, since then it's been teasing its first full size electric motorcycle coming into production.

(besides the Honda E-VO done in a joint venture with Chinese OEM Honda E-VO )

Big reveal was supposed to be today:


Guess what, the next reveal will now be in a couple of weeks.


Maybe they'll deign to throw us a bone, give us some specs or the price or even, let's go crazy, show us a part without camo, or high-res pic of foot pegs?

Looks like it could be a nice bike.

If the displayed numbers mean anything, if 34% battery edit: corresponds to a range of 44 km, that would point towards a range about 120 km (55 miles).
2024 concept bike was said to be designed for 100 km range.

This could be like a Zero S (60 hp roadster) with half the battery (maybe around 7 kWh instead of 14 kWh) so lighter (Zero S is a hefty 223 kg / 492 lbs) with less range but... onboard fast charger.

CCS2 could likely charge a 6-10ish kWh motorcycle battery in no time (cells specs would probably be the limiting factor).

this was refreshing to see. Stark SM needs this.
Yeah, that's not happening, I expect very limited changes between SM and EX (besides the obvious ones). That's why they're working on some kind of small "backpack" charger. Plus there's not enough room and it would be too heavy.

Wholeheartedly agree that proper road bikes need onboard charger, and fast charging compatibility with the existing charging stations is a must.

yea you're right. I doubt they'll do any big changes to the current bike besides slapping on some SM wheels. It's nice to hope for in the future. I'd expect the Royal Enfield bikes will get there before a Stark branded bike with type 2 and DC charging becomes available.

We do know a bit more about the bike, its official name is WN7.
W stands for wind, n for naked, 7 for the power range.

130 km / 80 miles claimed range
20% to 80% charging in 30 min (thanks to CCS2)
18 kW (24 hp) nominal power (A1 version at 11 kW)
50 hp peak power
217 kg
Liquid cooled motor
100 Nm torque
14 999 €

Unlike the Kawasaki that is a proper motorcycle, kudos to Honda for jumping in but ouch at that weight and double ouch at that price.

Battery capacity remains a mystery, they do mention full charge under 3 h on type 2, 6 kW charger. They may be going with a really big capacity close to Zero motorcycles 17.3 kWh.

Full specs will be available at EICMA on November 4th.

PS: @Philip could you please edit the thread title to include the bike official name WN7?

It doesn't seem vastly different from the competition like the Zero S (60 hp, 132 Nm, 223 kg, 17.3 kWh, 160 km highway range, 240 km city range, 17 790€).

I see 2 major differences:
1. CCS2 charging
2. It's a Honda
