Honda Deauville 2006

Bought this as my fellow workmates have a few of them one has a 650 Deauville and the other two own the NT700. The 650 has covered over 125k which impressed me. So I bought this 2006 NT700 with 50k and so far in the short time I have owned it I am impressed.
Surprisingly very comfortable, a good upright riding position, great bodywork protection, excellent storage with the built in panniers , not the most powerful engine but definitely an underrated motorcycle and Shaft drive .
The dashboard is like a car (Honda Civic) has everything you need, Speedo, revs, fuel and water gauges, oil light, HISS light (Will do a video on this) , Clock, trip counters and fuel computer, very well equipped compared to some modern stuff we see today.
The bikes' weight makes it difficult at times to manoeuvre in tight spaces when sat on the bike, but light enough to move when off, but the weight isn't noticed when riding its a solid cruiser good on fuel, and ideal for touring .

I've had a 2004 650 for 3 years now and use it daily. I'm really pleased with it. Very reliable and comfortable to ride. Thanks for the video 😊

Yes my friend has over 120k on his now, its been his most reliable bike ever.

I have one as my first big bike, I passed my test at 48. I think it's pretty easy to get along with and perfect for a beginner like me.

It's an easy bike to ride ,it handles well for what it is. I guess it would make a good first bike, but l could think of a dozen or more that would appeal to me , just the cost is the issue.

I have an NT650V. Great bike, the most reliable one I have owned. I put luggage racks and crash bars on mine along with dual sport tyres. I take it off road camping, where many Adventure bike riders fear to go.

I saw a guy in Spain with an NT650 with semi off road tyres fitted and he didn't hang about on the dirt roads.

Good to hear!

[@tregaricus00]

looked and sounded like a rough ride but my stepdad swears by his, maybe I need to go give one a whirl! 😊

[@Baggyarse]

You most definitely should otherwise you will never know what your missing and what you are looking for in a motorcycle.

Great bikes, I'm looking out for one myself, the NT700 or maybe the CBF600 with the Honda panniers looks great too. Honda bikes today mostly look shit compared to these bikes, why Honda ? why do they all have to look like sport bikes and have horrible looking TFT displays ? All the NT1100 is is a sports bike with panniers, crap useless mudguards the same on most Honda and most other manufacturers bikes. The only Honda bike that looks good in my opinion these days is the Cub 125 or better again the Cub 110 that you can't buy in Europe ( Typical) Why don't Honda have a 700 CC bike like this NT700 ? or is that supposed to be the NC700x ? I wish Honda designers would wake out of their big hibernation and design bikes that actually look good and not all look the same, take the Triumph T100 or the Kawasaki W800, beautiful bikes with proper analogue gorgeous looking dials, I don't need all these fancy riding modes and crap on screens to distract me. Honda just makes boring as possible bikes and know people will buy them because they're Honda, this is incredibly lazy ! Here's a tip when uploading videos to youtube, their 1080p quality is really bad the last year or 2 but their 4 K is much better due to allowing higher bitrates so even if someone doesn't have a 4 K screen they can still benefit from the higher bit rates once they switch to 4k, parts of your video on a 28 inch monitor look shit but this is down to youtube being cheap asses when it comes to bandwidth, I'm a premium user too and find this unacceptable, sorry for the rant mate. Just a little tip if you can upload in 4k .

Hi ..totally agree with you about the designers of bikes today tooo much plastic , if you drop a big modern bike you need a second mortgage to get it fixed ,that's why i like the Triumph T90 ,if l drop it or scratch it I am not going to be too upset because its a cheapish fix but these plastic bikes now cost a fortune to service and repair. The NT700 is a great bike it ticks a lot of the right important boxes . Remember the art of salesmanship is convincing the public they need the gimmicks on the bike even though we don't. The 1080p quality has been a pain in the last year or so, I do upload it at 2k but film it in 4k but I have noticed that early on the higher bitrates don't switch from 1080p in fact I checked a video and it was being shown at 720p yet I uploaded it in 4k. you have to got to change the youtube screen settings and change it to 4k.

Great bikes 👍

[@Baggyarse]

They are a classic bike and with a big following, even after so many years out of production. Thanks for watching.
