Upright Riding and Downright Comfort…

Welcome to the world of the limited-edition NM4—the near future where fantasy is reality, and imagination with inspired engineering makes every moment feel like a cinematic adventure.

With a twist of the throttle, the 670cc fuel-injected engine engages. Reflections from the street lamps on the sculpted front end come faster and faster with each upshift of the Automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission. Integrated saddlebags stow away everything you need to escape and almost anything you discover along the way. Strong Anti-Lock Brakes help you avoid the hazards of a cluttered urban wasteland. Images of everyday life fade away. Your brave new journey has begun.

Free yourself.

Tearing up the rule book and breaking free from the boundaries of traditional motorcycle design, the NM4 Vultus combines imagination, function and proven engineering to create a unique machine that stands out from the crowd.

pure imagination

Tokyo Style.

The NM4 Vultus brings jet fighter styling to the streets, enveloping the rider in a cocoon of aerodynamic angles inspired by Japanese Manga comics. Its broad angular stance exudes power and gives the rider the confidence to take on the city in style. It comes in the only colour fit for such design – menacing black.

Power player

With twin cylinders and 745cc capacity, the low-friction motor offers crisp, immediate acceleration. At its peak, 68Nm of torque is available at just 4,750rpm. Super efficient PGM-FI fuel injection feeds the engine, delivering an impressive 80.2mpg (WMTC mode) and allows a range of over 186 miles from the 11.6 litre fuel tank. A high-absorption catalyser is located close to the engine, helping it to reach operating temperature quickly and further reduce emissions. It also feels great, thanks to a 270° firing order and twin-balance shafts transmitting a characterful edge.

Core strength

Wrapping the compact power unit is a rugged steel diamond frame that delivers agile, responsive handling, giving the rider a sense of freedom whether riding busy urban streets or wide-open roads. The rider feels in complete control thanks to a seat height of just 650mm, allowing for easy ground reach, while 43mm telescopic front forks and Pro-Link rear suspension offer a smooth and comfortable ride. The front and rear disc brakes provide great confidence while the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) helps reduce the chance of wheel lock-ups on slippery or wet surfaces.

Six-Speed Automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission

Honda’s revolutionary Automatic DCT transmission is changing the way people ride. It’s smooth, smart and the clear choice for a machine as futuristic as this one. Want to shift yourself? The handlebar-mounted paddle-style buttons put you in control. It’s the best of both worlds.

Styling That Stands Out

Want to turn some heads? The NM4 does more than just that. It’s easily one of the most unique motorcycles on the road. The first time you see one up close, you’ll never forget—and neither will anyone else. The angular fairing, the presence the front-end commands, the integrated storage. The NM4 is as futuristic as anything on two wheels.

Advanced Twin-Cylinder Engine

No matter how revolutionary a motorcycle looks, we all know great bikes start with great engines. The NM4’s 670cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin is pure Honda. Tipping the cylinders forward also contributes to the NM4’s low center of gravity, a big plus in terms of handling.

2016 Honda NM4 ABS www.Totalmotorcycle.com Key Features

Like nothing else, and that’s the point.

Radical doesn’t begin to describe it.

There are motorcycles, and then there’s the Honda NM4, a machine that is truly unlike anything on the road today. Innovations? This machine is one huge innovation from stem to stern. Start with its one-of-a-kind looks: The fully integrated bodywork incorporates saddlebag-type storage and plenty of weather protection. The 670cc engine is specially designed for a low center of gravity and seamless power. And the Honda Automatic DCT transmission makes riding easier than ever.

2016 Honda NM4 ABS www.Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

Engine & Drivetrain

Seamless gear-shifting

The Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) includes two automatic drive modes, normal (D) and sport (S), as well as a manual mode with trigger-style shifting. Offering consistent, fast and seamless gear changes the twin clutches transfer drive from one gear to the next with minimal interruption, reducing gear change shock and pitching of the machine. Gear changes feel direct and smooth.

Maximized purification efficiency

The exhaust catalytic converter sits directly beneath the exhaust ports and is activated early when the engine starts. This design lets the combustion gas pass through the catalyst while it is at its hottest, thereby maximizing purification efficiency.

More compact fuel tank

The engine’s efficient use of fuel enables the use of a smaller-volume, more-compact fuel tank that still allows ample riding range while giving engineers extra freedom to re-think the optimal placement of other components.

Exceptional fuel economy

Through the use of friction-reducing technologies, integrated components (such as running the water pump off the camshaft), precise PGM-FI electronic fuel-injection and efficient combustion, the NM4 engine delivers exceptional fuel economy.

Confidence-inspiring handling

The engine’s inline cylinders are canted forward to help create a low overall centre of gravity for nimble, confidence-inspiring handling.

An engine that connects with sense

To give the engine a satisfying and distinctive sound and feel, engineers thought way outside the box. Twin balance shafts counteract vibration from higher rpm inertia, making the engine feel more refined, yet still with the distinct “throb” delivered by its 270° firing order. The intake-port layout was carefully designed to create an intentional interference between adjacent ports, resulting in subtle combustion variations. In addition, the timing for the opening and closing of the intake valves was set differently for each cylinder. The result? An engine that connects with the senses.

Strong acceleration for city driving

To ensure strong acceleration, ease-of-use in the city and a relaxed character on the highway, the engine delivers exceptionally strong low-rpm performance. The unique design creates a muscular, easy-to-use powerband.

Conserves resources

Designed to be light, compact, extremely stingy on fuel and to conserve resources during manufacturing, the liquid-cooled, inline-twin engine incorporates numerous advanced and patented technologies.

Chassis & Suspension

Excellent suspension & control

Lightweight aluminum swingarm improves suspension reaction and control.

Stopping power no matter the weather

Honda’s two-channel ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) provides added confidence during sudden stops or when the road is wet or slippery.

Increased rider confidence

Low seat height of only 650 mm and well placed floorboards put the rider firmly in control, with handlebars just a relaxed reach away. The high leverage handlebars and super-low centre-of-gravity further increase rider confidence.

Smooth ride with exhilarating road feel

The lightweight, diamond-shaped steel-tube frame was carefully designed to be very sturdy while also allowing just enough flexibility to respond smoothly to changing road surfaces. This “tuned flexibility” produces a smooth ride while also generating a strong feel for what the bike is doing.

Additional Features

Handsome finish

Matte black paint and componentry is complemented by carefully placed glimpses of burnished aluminum.

Stylish & brilliant lighting

Lighting is full LED with front indicators built in to the bodywork while the angular headlight is framed with a stylish LED definition line.

Concealed storage & recharge station

Convenient storage spaces are concealed in the front bodywork. The left compartment opens with the ignition key and features 1-litre of storage space plus a 12V DC adaptor to recharge personal electronics. The right compartment has 3-litres of storage and opens with the push of a recessed, triangulated button.

Versatile seating positions

The rear pillion seat flips upright when not in use, locking to provide the rider with a secure backrest and an almost fighter-pilot riding position. Its angle can be adjusted through three positions and it slides back/forward 25 mm through four settings, to fine-tune cockpit comfort.

Chromotherapy at your fingertips

The digital dash changes mood depending on the drive mode selected, with subtle colour changes from grey in Neutral, to light blue in D, to vibrant pink in S, ultimately to aggressive red in manual mode. The rider can also choose between five other tonal ranges of colour – 25 individual colours altogether to personalize their dash.
