Alternative Transport Rumor Du Jour

So is it Honda's turn, again, to innovate on two wheels? While we've seen rumors of electric bikes on the horizon, this is the first authoritative mention of a hybrid bike, this time from Wired. I'd be surprised if it were to take the shape of the Interceptor here, but you never know. Maybe a better speculation is why wouldn't they put it in the high brow ultra tech show piece bike? Time will tell.
