Scooter Station has actually ridden a Vultus..

Unfortunately Google Translate doesn't seem to do a very good job translating! They seem to quite like it, though more for being wildy different than much else! They like the engine and DCT though these are obviously already available elsewhere. Comfortable apparently, though screen is too short, and low speed handling a bit sketchy. No luggage room at all apart from the front compartments - it says the version with the large panniers isn't available (in France) and there's no way to fit a topbox.

It looks even worse in the video than in pictures.
Truly a hideous and impractical overpriced p.o.s.
Ideal for sunny Sunday afternoon poseurs.

Sounds like a Venerial Disease! where can I buy one?!!

Seriously, even less visual appeal than their DN01.... Good luck to Honda for trying though!

I admire them for bringing out something different...far few bike/scoot makers ever try anything that is anyway different to what everyone else makes - but I',m struggling to work out why you'd want one of these instead of a N750X, unless you really, really, really like a feet forward riding position.

Well I know an (actual real-life) owner, who was asked by his local bike shop if they could keep it parked outside for the afternoon (rather than collect it at lunchtime as planned) as so many people had stopped to look at it and some were then coming into the shop!

OK it is pricey and the NC750X DCT (or Integra) would for many be the more logical buy, but as said all credit to Honda for making it and for some it is a good option especially if you're long in the leg, want FF and like being the centre of attention.

it would be more appealing if it was gloss black all over including the wheels and fitted with the rear panniers as on the other model, the backrest although practical and comfy looks feckin shite, should have a hard cover that can hide it if need be!
