Honda DN-01

More art that hurted ma brain

Ha. I usually like victory styling, but that is hideous. The dn does look loads better in person. I'm sure it'd be a fun, practical ride, but It's not going to land you much street cred. Neither is my high vis riding suit, though. Still less heretic than a canam spider.

before you judge it, ride it... they are very well composed, very smooth running, very nicely made machines. honda knows a thing or two about kickass bikes. ))

You gotta be kidding, I would rather ride a Harley, than get caught riding that thing! Is a visual nightmare to start with, underpowered...typical Honda dribble....made to keep the "beige" crew happy! Only persons I could see riding that thing are science teachers in long socks, and safari suits!

I agree with everything except for the Harley part. I would give up riding a bike before that.

TRUE!.....only thing Harley's are good for IMHO is as a boat anchor! they are heavy enough!

I rode my mates Harley to a bike racing meet once...was the worst 150km's of bike riding i have ever experienced!

Based on its wheelbase, i think it would ride alot like a cruiser...it measures just over 63" long, compared to our 56"-ish wheelbase.

+1 on that mate , never EVER will I ride a Harley ..... Seriously , who thinks about puting 2 wheels on an irrigation pump :shakehead:

I would never, ever OWN a Harley - even if one was given to me I'd sell it - but I'm never opposed to trying stuff, so I'd probably give one a test ride if I knew someone with one.

I don't have anything against the cruiser look, and love the cruiser feel, but I strongly dislike the flublublublublublublublub.

one of my most fun rides was on a 1200 sportster. if i had the money for multiple bikes i'd love to have one in the stable.

Didya hear about the little boy walking down the sidewalk when a guy pulls up on a motorcycle and says,"Hey,jump on the back and I'll give you a ride." Little guy shakes his head,no. The guy eases up to him again and says,"I'll give you five bucks to ride on my bike."Little guy says No! The biker rolls forward persistently and says,"Look, I'll give you twenty bucks to ride on my bike with me!" The little fellow turns to the biker and replies emphatically,"Look, you bought the damn Harley, Dad...you ride it!"

Although Honda now has the NT700V, this bike should have stayed in their stable instead of developing the DN-01

PC800 or Pacific Coast 800:

Imagine if it was EFI instead of Carb'd and still in production. Used in good condition these still fetch pretty big bucks.

That was a sweet ride! Much more of a mini GW than DN-01.

I figured someone might chime in that had actually ridden one.... guess not.

there are still so many bikes for me to try, ill give them all (that I can) a ride before I dismiss them.

I posted that I rode one last year. They are comfortable and laid back like cruiser. It put a smile on my face to ride it, along with everyone else who rode it. Most said it is not the type of bike they would ride but it was a fun ride. The auto transmission works pretty smooth, and the shape of the bike helps a lot with wind resistance rolling down the highway. i think more people would have been interested in the bike had the styling was more traditional.
