The Honda NeoWing is a new concept by the Japanese company. It finally seems like something we could see in production and it has three wheels. Fans remember some ideas of turning the NC750 into a three-wheeler. But this project never entered the production. The NeoWing looks like it are ready to conquer.
Another reason why we are so sure Honda will deliver the new tricycle very soon, is because of the rivals. Yamaha already announced it is building their own model. Honda is not going to leave the market to Yamaha Tricity and Niken. Well, especially not going to do that with a prototype ready for testing. What the Honda NeoWing needs right now is a suspension for a whole new system. When the Japanese company makes it, the three-wheeler will be ready to compete with Yamaha’s units.
Honda NeoWing Latest Updates
The Honda NeoWing concept is present for a while. As we said, few suspension modes were tested, and now we have the latest one patented. To be honest, there are no many differences between it and its predecessor. We will try to explain what Honda is trying to pull off.
Most changes are happening among the set of parallelogram links. The top one is under the stock and the lower one is near the base. Vertical castings are there to connect these two linkages. Hub-steering pivots are parts of both swingarms. The additional suspension features front hubs that reach vertical side castings.
Honda NeoWing vs Gold Wing
We could see before aftermarket companies turning Honda Gold Wing into a trike. So, why would the Japanese company invest millions of dollars? Seems like wasted money. But, fans of tricycles will get this unusual model with two-wheels up front. Honda will boost safety and handling at the first place. Also, the reliability of the carmaker’s products was never in doubt. With aftermarket tuning, you will lose the warranty.
Honda NeoWing Specs
Honda presented the NeoWing, but no details about the engine and its specs were released. The only thing we know is that tricycle is going to be based on the Gold Wing stablemate. So, both of them could use a 1,833 cc engine that delivers 125 hp. It is enough energy for the Honda NeoWing. Also, add 125 lb-ft of torque. Liquid cooling and PGM-FI are standard features for all Honda’s motorbikes. NeoWing will clearly get the same setup.
Honda NeoWing Release Date
The new trike is definitely coming in 2020. Honda somehow disappointed its fans by skipping to release it last year. But now, the Honda NeoWing will appear at least as a production-ready prototype.
hello ! is it gonna be a car driver license for the Neowing ??
Drivers who want to ride motor tricycles need to pass CBT and the theory and practical tests on a 2-wheeled motorbike.
Aaron, is this purely the Honda Neowing you’re talking about? I ride a trike on a car licence currently but your reply sounds like a blanket need for every trike rider to pass a 2-wheeled test?
For UK drivers:
“Riding a tricycle with a car licence
You can drive/ride a motor tricycle of any power rating if you’re over 21 and you have a full car driving licence. If this is not the case you’ll need a full category A1 motorbike licence to ride motor tricycles up to a power output of 15 Kilowatts (kW), and a full category A motorbike licence to ride trikes with a power output more than 15 kW.”

I want 1 ASAP!!!
Is this for real? I have heard it both ways. I drove the Ryker and loved it but I would rather have a Honda trike and I would wait if it is coming soon.
Honda,
Please make it more like the CanAm Spider for two up touring. I want a windshield, all day seat, and a 4 or 6 cylinder with Navigation and USB. The best part that will blow CanAm away is that it leans when turning.
I’m waiting to buy till then.
I am a 2 wheel convert to 3 due to my health. I love my Can Am F3S, but I must admit, I miss the lean. If I could have the stability of the Can Am, not have to put my feet down AND have the lean, TAKE MY MONEY!
I hope there will be options! I vacation on my trikes. I suffer from arthritis & windshields are a must, also saddlebags. Not tiny ones that barely fit rain gear, either.
2 up seating with all day comfort is a must.
I will definitely be on the lookout for this to hit the market!
I now have a Can am after 50 years of 2 wheels. Would like a leaning 3 wheeler with all the goodies for long distance riding. Waiting to check out Neo wing been waiting a long time!!
hallo wann ist zum kafen in europa honda neuwing , und kan man mit auto füreschain fahren???
Does it stand up on its own or fall over like the niken if off the stand?
I am going on 70, but I’m still interested in the neo wing .riding all my life crashed and nearly died once, the best feeling in the world is open air riding! God’s been good to me and I I thank him daily for allowing me to live life without Fear! The new Honda neo is perfect! Can’t wait!!!
Sure hope I can buy the neo wing before I get too much older!!’
