The CBR600RR was developed from and inspired by the Honda RC211V MotoGP bike. . Underneath the looks lie MotoGP technologies that were made available for the first time on a production motorcycle such as the Unit Pro-Link rear suspension and Dual Stage Fuel Injection (PGM-DSFI). Both were taken directly from Honda’s MotoGP bike. While it’s not uncommon for street bikes to utilize racing technology, this was the first time totally new technologies found their way to the production line the same year they made their way to the professional racing grid.

Sam Jilbert’s Honda Cub motocycle utilises the potential for a radically revised layout, dispensing with convention due to its use of a hydrogen fuel cell. This is a futuristic-looking motorcycle because It is like a combination of 19th-century bicycle and a modern-day crotch rocket, not only appealing but eco-friendly since it uses a hydrogen fuel cell. For so long has mankind had an addiction to the internal combustion engine with its limitations of form and package layout, but now totally revised and interesting concepts can be created by placing or moulding the hydrogen power-plant components in unusual and previously unfeasible forms.

Sam said he has based this concept around the Honda Cub, which has been around for decades and is still very popular in the world with locals and tourists alike. The Honda Cub is very practical but this concept takes it to a new level, with a provocative image and being environmentally responsible, the new Cub should appeal to young city professionals and the young trendy market in general.
