From Honda press release:

The New ‘Twist-and Go’ Performance Cruiser
Radical new styling that grabs attention from every angle. Form-fitting comfort that invites one to both sit on and to ride. Smooth response to every rider input, reacting with dynamic performance at every twist of its throttle, and… no clutch! Not only that, no gear changer! With its revolutionary new HFT (Human-Friendly Transmission), the epoch-making new DN-01 introduces to motorcycling the most advanced fully automatic transmission ever developed for a two-wheeled vehicle, and one that provides all the exhilarating power and acceleration one associates with ‘real’ motorcycle manual transmissions.

The remarkable new DN-01 takes to the avenues and winding roads of Europe with peerless performance and incomparable riding ease in a distinctly modern and sporty form that invites its riders to rediscover the profound joys of motorcycling on an all-new roadster—or ‘Ridester’—that offers wide appeal. The future calls, and the new Honda DN-01 answers with a totally new concept in motorcycle riding enjoyment.

Features
With its radical new Performance Cruiser styling and revolutionary automatic HFT transmission, the new DN-01 opens the door to a new world of smooth and easy riding pleasure.

Styling
- High-quality, urban-oriented, organic bodywork design with relaxed and comfortable styling.
- Distinctive long-nose front cowl and short tail designs.
- Front cowl integrated into fuel tank, with integrated short front windscreen.
- Wide and low 690mm stepped seat offers relaxed riding position and easy reach to ground.
- Long and wide pillion seat assures comfortable tandem riding.
- American-style cruiser riding position and motorcycle-like knee grip enhance sense of oneness with motorcycle.
- New, narrow wrap-around headlight design with dual projector low beams and single central multi-reflector high beam.
- Wide, narrow taillight with clear lens covering red LED array and yellow indicator bulbs for strong visual impact.
- 2-into-1 exhaust system with chrome-plated triangular shaped tailpipe.
- Smoothly integrated undercowl and muffler design.
- Long, elegant back-swept handlebars.
- Spacious foot boards tapered upward for enhanced riding comfort.
- Large-scale, one-piece LCD instrument panel features wide-throw multi-segment tachometer display with 7,800rpm redline and large central digital speedometer readout.
- Colour variations include: Graphite Black and Pearl Amethyst Purple.

Engine
- Compact, liquid-cooled fuel-injected 680cc 8-valve V-twin with shaft drive.
- Revolutionary new infinitely variable automatic HFT (Human Friendly Transmission) offers same powerful and easy ride as a motorcycle.
- HFT features three modes of operation: Drive, Sport and push button selectable 6-speed Manual.
- Hydraulic automatic clutch with switch-selectable mechanical neutral.
- Transmission automatically switches into Neutral when ignition is switched off.
- Innovative ‘lock-up’ system provides more direct engine-to-rear wheel drive for stronger, sharper acceleration than other automatic or belt drive systems.
- HFT offers advantage of higher load handling capability and better power transfer efficiency, permitting sportier acceleration than possible with conventional belt-drive systems.
- Smooth, stepless automatic HFT operation with throttle-controlled high-load ‘downshift’ capability featuring ramping ratio change, rather than stepped downshifting.
- Easy operation: Simply press right-side DN switch (in D Mode) to engage drive. Hydraulic clutch eliminates ‘clunk’ into first gear, instead smoothly switching into gear, with movement initiated by throttle.
- Dual-chamber exhaust with catalyser in forward chamber for further enhanced mass centralisation.

About www.motorcyclists-online.com English version:
At the beginning, in 2001, www.motorcyclists-online.com was an exclusive French Motorcycle website. Now, since September 2005, it has become bilingual: English speaking people are welcome !
We do believe, at www.motorcyclists-online.com, that linguistic boundaries are not a problem when we share the same passion for bikes.
We are currently working on translating all articles and contents, to finish the UK/US version. You will certainly notice some bugs or translation errors: please do not hesitate to advise us by e-mail, Private Message or by posting in the Forum. Your help is welcome !
For the moment, articles which haven’t been human translated are automatically machine translated, which I must confess is not really famous, but faster than human translators.
