| Honda NAS Concept |
Design started on the Honda NAS motorbike concept in 1999 at Hondas research and development department in America.NAS, standing for New American Sports, was intended to pushthe boundarys of sports bike design for the American market. Designers of the NAS realised that the overwhelming majority of sportsbikes had been initially designed and engineered for the track, Honda bikes included, their intention was to try and offer another option, a sports bike built for the road. The NAS Designers also wanted to create a machine with more personality which would be easier to make a bond with, a mischievous face can definitely be made out hiding in the headlight fairing.
