Just returned from Barton bike night and it was a great night. I met this guy there who seems to be a bike racer or something. Embarassed

There were hundreds of bikes there and one that caught my eye was this one that I had never seen before.

Anyone know anything about these bikes? a very unusual design indeed. Confused

It's a Honda DN-01.
Their little scooter/cruiser combo thing that never really took off.

I like the design though.

As above, DN-01.

I've just got back from there too, after telling myself I wouldn't go.

ETA: the DN-01 in your picture, I believe is owned by a guy who rides with a good friend of mine.

Me and fifteen15 were riding back from down south and crossing the bridge - loads of bikes were coming from the north bank, and the filth were by the tollbooths, alert to any potential kitten killers. Fifteen15 had said we should go to the bike night but we were a bit knackered so carried on home. Bit sad now though cos some of the bikes going passed looked ace. Neutral

I've never met him, though I ought to have done and more than likely will do at some point in the future as he lives next-door-but-one to one of Mrs Raffle's uncles, who we visit quite often.
Await boring story Bro ratings.

He seems to have 1 smile and all I can see is his teeth, eyes get focused to them.
