At the Tokyo Motors Show, Honda not only revealed stuff like the EV-STER, but also went back to its roots as a motorcycle manufacturer focused on innovation. We were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the future of superbike racing previewed by the RC-E, an electric two-wheeled rocket.
At first glance, it looks like any other superbike, with its wider rubber and full fairings, but upon closer inspection, you’ll notice a little plug decal, and then it all starts to sink in. The bad news is that Honda has not revealed any powertrain details.
The only thing we do know really is that it’s based on a 250 cc racer chassis, probably the CBR25R. Another innovative feature is the fact that it’s got LED lights at the front and back.
