Looks like its being made.

I can imagine allot of you'll be disgusted, but at least its interesting not another sports bike and not another cruiser, like the bastard love-child of the two perhaps.

I'm surprised they've released it in all honesty, i can't really think who'll buy it?
Looks like it'd make a good quirky commuter, maybe for those that know an uberscooter would suit them but can't bring themselves to it.

(just read some of the info, its a full auto, the last honda auto bike i remember hearing of was a really rare cb400T/cb750T? something like that..)

It looks like an updated nt650v to me and the latest nt650v looks like a
big scooter at times.

Paddy.

[Fawbish]

Looks like the love-child of a missle, a shark, and a scootay.


Like the colour though and the headlights.


Definitely very sharky. ish.

Just read that specs for that DN and it actually seems like a pretty decent sounding bike? :/

Interesting
Looks like they threw a sports bike fairing onto a cruiser frame.

Gibbs, what did Duckie look like when he was younger?

Looks quite futuristic.

At least it's different, which is something the motorcycle industry struggles with.

I never thought in a million years it'd be Honda that would create something new..

[bazza]

Wow. A sports cruiserscooter. I can hardly contain my indifference...

I think it looks like an NTV too

The engine looks like an NTV engine which is a transalp engine effectively,they have just changed the crank case coverings and the gear box ,

otherwise its is still an NTV, ie shaft drive, single swinger, V2 600ish
CC , a change to a fazer type frame, some new bars clocks and body work,

I think it looks pretty groovy, but they should avoid selling it in red lest their customers look like Akira. Or one of the 'Biker Mice from Mars'...

I emailed my local honda dealer for a price, they did not know what it was! So yes, Mrs stalk wants one.

[Jack_Cheese]

Why didn't they decide to build this instead?

Apart from that it looks kinda funky
