At the 31st Osaka Motorcycle Show in Japan, the company pulled the wraps off the well-named Bulldog, a knobby-tired concept bike designed from the ground up to conquer a crumbling infrastructure.
The Bulldog amounts to a more grown-up version of Honda's successful – and wholly endearing – Ruckus 49cc scooter. Like the Ruckus, the Bulldog features an industrial-style exposed tube frame and two big headlamps. A modest seat height keeps the centre of gravity lower than that of a typical motorcycle, giving the Bulldog greater stability and making it easier for newbies to handle.
