The Curtain Rises at EICMA 2025
At EICMA 2025, Honda finally swept aside the curtain, unveiling the highly-anticipated WN7, the first full-size electric motorcycle from the iconic brand. As an electric motorcycle enthusiast who’s been around since the fridge-sized scooters of yesteryear, witnessing Honda step into the electric spotlight made this moment feel as electric as the motorcycle itself.
A Commuter’s Dream and More
The WN7 isn’t merely another compliance bike — it’s a genuine naked street motorcycle designed for fun! With 50 kW (67 hp) peaking from its sleek frame, it puts up a serious fight against 600cc combustion bikes. Add to that a sprightly 100 Nm torque and you’ve got a beast that promises thrilling acceleration, whether you’re navigating city streets or cruising along the highway.
More Than Just a Face
Honda’s design philosophy, titled “be the wind,” isn’t just mumbo jumbo. The WN7 offers a ride that’s quietly immersive, allowing you to hear the world around while benefiting from that instant EV torque. Sporting a stunning horizontal LED light bar and a sophisticated black-and-gold color scheme, this bike showcases the exciting future of Honda’s electric lineup. The frameless chassis design is a game-changer, linking the steering head directly to the battery case — resulting in lightweight handling and improved agility that rivals even the most cutting-edge designs.
So, while we wait for pricing and North American release details, let’s applaud Honda for bringing some serious voltage to the electric motorcycle realm. Who wouldn’t want to be the first to cruise the streets on this electrifying beauty?
