Is Honda really bringing back the straight six-cylinder in the style of the legendary CBX? Patent images of a corresponding retro model that have now appeared suggest this.

Images that have now emerged from a patent application by Honda clearly show – the Japanese are again dealing with an in-line six-cylinder.

The six-cylinder is clearly based on liquid cooling, even if the hoses have been cleverly hidden.

The design is based on the RC166 racing machine from the 60s.

Because the design even includes indicators, reflectors, mirrors and a license plate holder, we assume that it is not a study, but an upcoming series model.

Honda CBX
Four years after the Benelli six-cylinder, Honda finally rolled out a straight-six. With its 105 PS, the CBX was the first production bike in the world to break the 100 PS barrier. From 1978, 1047 cm³, 105 hp, 220 km / h.

New six-cylinder as a retro model
Is Honda really bringing back the straight six-cylinder in the style of the legendary CBX? Patent images of a corresponding retro model that have now appeared suggest this. Here is all information about the new six.
1In 978, Honda presented the CBX, its first production model with an in-line six-cylinder engine – a model and an engine that made history. Now history seems to repeat itself.
Six cylinder with water cooling
Honda
Water cooling and six megaphones.
Images that have now emerged from a patent application by Honda clearly show: the Japanese are again dealing with an in-line six-cylinder. It relies on liquid cooling and two overhead camshafts. Honda knows how to hide the cooling hoses cleverly. A system for variable timing can also be interpreted in the design.
For a narrow overall width, the alternator-starter combination sits piggyback on the gearbox. The rear wheel is driven by a conventional chain. Since the pictures show a clutch lever as well as a classic transmission control via linkage, the DCT dual clutch transmission doesn’t seem to make a stab here.
There is of course no data on the engine, but there is speculation about at least 1,000 cm³, a high-speed concept and an output of somewhere between 170 and 200 hp.
Classic retro design
Honda
The design is based on the RC166 racing machine from the 60s.
The in-line six-cylinder is embedded in a steel tubular bridge frame. The elbows on both sides lead into three magnificent megaphones. There is an upside-down fork in the triple clamps, and the rear swing arm is supported by a central spring strut. At the front, radially hinged four-piston pliers slow down. The wheels are made of cast rims with filigree spokes.
In front of the elongated tank there is a small frame-mounted half-shell, the mono seat ends in a bold hump. Passenger footpegs clearly indicate a removable hump. In the front, LED lights seem to spread out, and small winglets are indicated on the radiator cowling. And because the design even includes indicators, reflectors, mirrors and a license plate holder, we assume that it is not a study, but an upcoming series model.
A premiere at EICMA or INTERMOT this autumn would be conceivable.
