While wasting time on the net, I ran across an interesting prototype from Honda. The FB-S was dropped in favor of the SilverWing. The FB-S had a trunk simular to the Pacific Coast. Some of the marketing hype is below the image.
A new-generation big scooter, the FB-S fuses a high-prestige design with a newly designed boxer twin engine to deliver a riding feel that's more like a motorcycle than a regular scooter.
- Length / 2,296mm
- Width / 805mm
- Height / 1,311mm
- Engine type / Liquid-cooled four-cycle boxer-twin
- Displacement / 399cm3
The FB-S Prototype: One more link in Honda's practicality series. Might as well call it the Helix Coast. It features a 400cc boxer twin engine mounted at the front. An automatic transmission delivers power to the rear, providing a ride that is theoretically more like a motorcycle than a scooter.
