The motorcycle industry loves a flashy concept bike. Manufacturers roll one onto a stage, everyone loses their minds for a week, and then it quietly disappears into the same dusty corner where six-cylinder sportbikes and hub-center steering concepts go to wait for retirement. But every now and then, a weird idea isn't actually the product. It's the proof of concept for something much bigger.
That might be exactly what's happening with Honda's electrically driven compressor.
