With the Tokyo Motor Show still a month away, Honda is making noise with the unveiling of its lineup of prototypes.

I really hope that these prototypes will be put into production without any changes because that EVO6 looks really great.

Based on the 1832-cc horizontally opposed six-cylinder powerplant from the Honda Gold Wing touring bike, it is not hard to imagine that this engine will push the EVO6 much faster than the Goldwing considering that the EVO6 motorcycle weighs less than half the Gold Wing's dry weight.

The 40th Tokyo Motor Show starts Oct 26 at the Makuhari Messe convention center in Chiba, Japan, and runs through Nov 11.
