It may look like a scooter to you, but Honda places the 2018 Honda NM4 in its cruiser category—and with good reason.Instead of a fully automatic belt CVT, which is standard on scooters, the NM4 has a six-speed Dual Clutch Transmission. That means you can operate it in fully automatic mode, or in the manual-shift/auto-clutch mode.2018 Honda NM4
