Automatic-Systomatic Honda CVT Sportbike

[JohnP]

Just released, the Honda DN-01, a "sportbike" with a Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission!

Many will say it's ugly, but I kinda like it. :thumbup:

 

[Jman]

Give it a dorsal fin and it would look like a shark!

 

[Kilbane83]

Did something fall out of the sky on the front fairing and smash it? Or was it melted down at warp speeds? Beam me up Scotty!

looks like it belongs in one of those futuristic movies.... only thing is it needs a jet engine instead of wheels...

 

[JohnP]

I'm pretty sure they are going after the 250-500cc scooter crowd with the CVT and 27" seat height. The 680cc v-twin should pull hard, but at 595lbs it probably doesn't accelerate any faster then the FZ6.

Too pricey @ $14,600. And too swoopy looking.

I think it looks horrid. That exhaust is ridiculous and the front looks like it got squished from above, it does kinda look like a shark, and the floor boards, seriously? :thumbdown::thumbdown:

That's a "sportbike"?! With low seat, forward foot controls, and floorboards, it looks like a fully faired cruiser. Interesting idea, but it will never catch on (except in Japan, where much weirder things routinely catch on). You would like like an idiot riding it, with your feet so far forward.

that sumed it up for me.. those floor boards are hilarious!

 

[cv_rider]

So what are you supposed to wear when riding it?
* If it's a cruiser, little tin skullcap and a leather vest.
* If a sport bike, full leathers.
* If a scooter, your business suit with a helmet.
They would all look ridiculous.

A cruiser, sportbike and scooter in one package!

 

[Sawblade]

It's neither.

 

[Scab]

My wife has been eye-balling that thing since it was a concept bike. Now it's finally here, and this is the price? Oh, well. Pass.
