Most adventure-style motorcycles have long-travel suspension, which invariably means an elevated saddle and a high centre of gravity. That's definitely not the case with Honda's new Bulldog, though.
Unveiled in concept form at the Osaka Motorcycle Show, it has a seat height of just 730 mm (28.7”). Helping to keep things low are a pair of 15” five-spoke wheels shod with wide knobbly tyres.

Usefully, generous side protection bars are fitted and the exhaust is mounted up out of harm's way. For luggage carrying there are racks front and rear, plus mini panniers can be attached to each side of the fuel tank.
Power is provided by a liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder, 399 cc engine borrowed from the CB400. It's mated to a six-speed gearbox.
Honda has yet to confirm any production plans, but the rugged-looking Bulldog certainly has the potential to become an interesting niche model.
