WN7 Wins iF Gold Award as Honda’s Approach Starts to Land
Honda’s WN7 has picked up a Gold at the iF Design Award 2026, and whether you care about trophies or not, it says something about how this bike’s landing.

Honda’s WN7: Finally, Big Red Steps In — But Is It Enough?
After years of watching nimble start-ups and second-tier brands push electric motorcycles forward, Honda has officially thrown its hat into the ring with the WN7, their first full-size electric naked motorcycle. It’s refreshing to see the company finally move beyond concepts and assert itself in the EV moto game. But while the WN7 has some solid strengths, there are also glaring caveats that might make serious riders pause before throwing their gloves off and grabbing for the

Under Wraps: Honda’s Electric Sports Bike Plays Hide-and-Seek
So, earlier this month, Honda’s latest tease arrived — a fully electric sports motorcycle, wrapped in camouflage vinyl that looks like someone balled up yesterday’s newspaper. Either that, or they've hired Mr. Doodles to do the paint job. The big question: what is this thing, and why is Honda trying so hard to hide it?

The Great Electric Motorcycle Range Con
How how far can an electric motorcycle actually go? That depends on how the bike is tested, how fast you're riding and how much work you're asking the battery to do. We all know the game by now: big range number on the brochure, smaller number once you hand over your hard-earned cash and start riding the thing.
