Hybrid and electric cars are slowly gaining in popularity, but Honda may have its sites set on another market as well: motorcycles.
According to a patent filed back in September 2010, dug up by Motorbiker, the company is working on creating a hybrid motorcycle. And based on the sketch included in the patent filing, it looks like that bike could well be a Honda Goldwing. Strangely, though, the Goldwing is primarily designed for long-distance driving, not the shorter urban commuting that hybrid vehicles are made for.
Of course, it’s just a sketch, so Honda could very well be making a brand new line of bikes for the hybrid market. But since all we have to go on right now is a patent filing, it could be a while before we find out what the bike will look like. Or if it exists at all.
