Honda bin Evo 6 production plan
August 2009
Honda's musclebike looks unlikely to go into production after the firm`s marketers decided they couldn`t sell enough.

The Evo 6 was a massive hit in the 2007 Tokyo show, and Honda went on to protect the design worldwide, something it normally does only for models earmarked for production.
Co-designed by the stylist behind the 1992 FireBlade Tetsuya Nakazawa the Evo 6 uses the 1800cc flat six motor of the Goldwing, housed in a minimalist chassis and bodywork, coupled with a single-sided swingarm.
A Japanese source close to the firm told the bike could be revived depending on muscle-bike market performance pans out in the next 18 months.
