The 2016 Osaka Motorcycle Show kicks off this weekend, and Honda has announced it’s bringing out a very diverse fleet of concept bikes. Debuting is the Concept CB Type II, which is rumored to be a sexier version of the mildly retro upright Concept CB we saw last year.

Honda’s whole stand at the big Japanese show is going to be fun to look at, with a big emphasis on adventure. The bike maker says it’s trotting out everything from (City Adventure) to a new microbike design, which will be the next generation Grom.

But the CB Type II is the only true unknown.

In 2015, Honda gave us a peak at what its retro-ish upright bikes might look like in the future with the Concept CB. The current crop already bears a pretty strong resemblance to that machine, and the Type II will be a “sportier” version, possibly with a fairing like the CB1100R concept that came out back in 2007.

The “cafe racer” look, basically a stripped-down and sleeker upright, still has a lot of momentum going with enthusiasts right now and would be a logical choice for a new showcase machine.

Stay tuned for full reveals from the Osaka Motorcycle Show from March 19 to 21.
