Bike test: HONDA DN 01

Initially designed as a prototype, what initially sets the DN01 apart is its looks. With a unique nose and distinctive lines, this is not one for the discrete and will always be a head-turner. Its looks are likely to be one of, if not the, deciding factors in its purchase.

today I went to the bike shop to buy gloves and saw this long completely black bike, which I haven't see before. I got up to the bike to see what it is and fell inlove instantly, it looked even better close up. Now that I've seen the video about it and now know what it's capable of I love it even more and most probably will buy one in the future. Excellent Idea - superb Honda!

I read your comment 3 weeks ago and brought the mana 2 weeks ago after some research on the internet. Great bike, thanks for your help!!! : )

[@fabianromano]

People is missing the point. Is not a scooter, is not a sports bike, and is not even a cruiser, it is a Concept Bike made available to the public. Thumbs up to Honda for taking risks when no other company is doing it.

This Bike Rocks! The Price is low here in Greece, I quess in the states they figured that people would pay more for it...

[@christophmeirich5928]

Cool bike!!!

[@Aerolupus]

I saw this bike at a shop today. It caught my attention because it looks like science fiction :D I like that style. Although I didn't get the opportunity to drive, I can tell that thing is heavy, low and pretty comfortable... as long as you aren't taller than 1.85 m -.- Anyway, nice design...

[@garethwilliams1420]

I've had mine a year and love it and no it's not a scooter I also have a burglar 650 which is well happy with mine

[@ylism]

That is one heavy, whatchamacallit ?

[@FRFM00]

If theres any hardcore bike folk reading this. Could you modify the seat, seat fit and where you rest your feet to sit as if youre on a sportbike? Thanks

[@davinski1124]

My thought are for 15k, hell you might as well get a sport touring bike with more horses and saddlebags. For 15K this thing does'nt even have power outlets or heated grips, nothing!! I do give Honda thumbs up for effort.

[@EliteSlayer542]

I believe the U.S still uses the old, much better, simpler, more known system (feet, miles, etc...) even here in Canada I have NEVER, EVER heard ANYONE use meters to say how tall they are.

[@uuyumil]

encantadora moto!!

[@FlashingSergio]

I often ask myself the same questions.

[@EliteSlayer542]

@egkd No, Canada doesn't use it, the U.S doesn't use it, Australia doesn't use it. Even the United Kingdom who "adopted" the metric system still mostly use the imperial system. Billions of people don't use metric. So think before you say "the whole world" LOL

[@wccrispy]

680cc engine does not make this in any way a scooter.

[@Dirtboyindahouse]

what honda should do is ditch the CVT and the 700, stuff the drivetrain from the VRF1200FA DCT and go after the Haybusa and the ZX-14

[@StrelokTymochenko]

@EliteSlayer542 Maybe the people who think exactly the same of "weirdos" who measure their height in feet and their weight in pounds.

[@toyota4x4canadaguy]

I liked it when I first saw it. Then I rode one... what a gutless awkward piece of crap. One of the Honda mechanics told me DNO1 stands for "Do Not Own 1"

[@israr040]

wohw! guys do you have to fight for every thing metric-imperial wtf... use which ever ya want.. that days are not far wen only two ppl will be fighting wit comments and rest of em come to cheer and bet sayin fight fight fight fight..sheesh....peace amigos peace.

[@MontysMotos]

I'd have to paint it like a shark.

[@huckebeinFW]

The review misses the point completely, it's not a scooter nor a sports bike, it's a cruiser. Commments about how the feet have to lean forward are pointless for this type of bike.

[@GuzziHeroV50]

Honda broke out a new batch of ugly sticks for this bike, and broke every one of them during the styling process. It doesnt look comfy for a passenger, especially if panniers are fitted. Not that anyone else would want to be seen on it. Also... they obviously do not remember the flop that the Hondamatic was.

[@Naturepheonix]

Wow I think who ever reviewed this bike had some rather bias view towards Honda.

[@ninjashidan]

i think this is a sexy bike

[@IceTTom]

If your a "hardcore bike folk"... you would know nothing about this bike!

[@89powerup]

@00SilentIntruder you drunk

[@CanadianHabsFan]

NO ONE CARES ABOUT COMMENTS BIGGER THAN THIS!

[@luisbaltazar1]

wow, 270kg!

[@MultiNemesis101]

about the same as the Piaggio MP3 400 scooter... lol

[@rabcobanimdireksigimolmaz4633]

Heavymetal style

[@harden080]

WHy the FUCK do they overprice everything good that comes out thats nice????????Its a beautifully engineered bike if they'd just bring the price down to a good say $8000 they''d mass produce these.....but im guessing these people are either scared to take a shot at there budget investing or they want to be poor with there one of a kind bike!* This bike is overpriced because the mind that developed the idea for the automatic thinks of his idea as above the manual...which is quite foolish*

[@Acibeb]

this is not a cruiser! this is nothing!

[@EliteSlayer542]

1.8 meters? WTF! I'm Canadian I use feet for gods sakes! can someone translate?

[@MultiNemesis101]

Canada went metric a long time ago.. lol. Only we in the USA cling to a system that mixes 14, 12, 16 etc. as base units... lol

[@NULUSIOS]

crap bike
