It seems that the "near future" is next year.
Let's remember one of our public polls, last november:
Wich concept bike do you prefer?
I really don't care 51%
The Suzuki Stratosphere 30%
The honda DN01 19%
Maybe today you will like this DN-01?
So, what about this big scooter dressed up as a motorcycle?
Honda tells they want to create some new value without being locked into any existing category of motorcycle.
The DN-01 is (the first) automatic sports cruiser, featuring Honda's unique infinitely variable hydraulic mechanical transmission, the "HFT" (Human Fitting Transmission) with much sportier performance than existing automatic transmissions: superb throttle response and stepless shifting, with no mid-corner shifting shocks.
Riders can select from three shifting modes: Drive Mode, Sports Mode and 6-Speed Manual Mode. This machine is powered by a 680cc V-twin engine.
The styling is organic and futuristic. Honda tells "modern".
Personnaly, I like the black color scheme...
ighly centralized mass and ideal front/rear weight distribution ensure unimaginable maneuverability from this 1,605mm-long wheelbase.
The bike seems confortable: 680mm seat height and large seat fitted with an adjustable backrest for plush comfort on long rides, while wide footboards allow maximum freedom of movement. Passengers are also comfortable, thanks to the ample and lengthy passenger seat.
SO?
Let's wait some officals annoucments... ...
