Glad you've got it sorted Jim, as much as I'm enjoying the DN-01 I do miss using my two CNs.

Jaz, What has happened to your CN's? I need to check out a DN 01.......new to me.......

OMG - A Space Rocket! - bet you're enjoying that, somewhat different class to a CN though. Might have one - if I could give away 30 years, my tire won't arrive until 9th, then I try to get it fitted quickly and back on the bike, looks like I'll be on the Foresight for the w/e bimble at Snoring, are you coming?

Said scooter when in Alanzzg ownership

SCOOTER? It looks like a full size bike! Must find a test on it.


Jim

Saw one in the flesh for the first time in Fuerteventura last month.

Quite a bike the DN-01 although from what I can find it looks like one of Honda's mistakes....very few and far between making dealer servicing difficult through lack of familiarisation with the model, and what was it? A 680 cc Twin - definately a motorcycle but nothing against that.
Enjoy it Jazz, so your two CN's may soon be for sale?


Jim

Standard Honda V twin from the Dullsville mated to an Hydrolic gear train that hardly ever gives any problems...If it does it has two oil seals that you/me could change...for any thing else you replace the unit as a cassette..last count the unit was over 2 grand..but as said they do not often go wrong. Honda have been using them in the farm quads for years, and you don't hear the farmers complaining..

I remember the Honda DN-01 when they sold them here in Australia. They were on sale back in about 2009 for around $16000 AUD. They didn't seem to sell many, so Honda ran them out at $8990 AUD (nearly half price, brand new). I was nearly tempted back then, but was just too big.

Since then, I've never seen Honda do any kind of massive discounts on a new bike to get rid of them. So they really wanted to clear out stock of the DN-01 at the time.

That surprises me, as Smurf (Sean) brought one to one of your rides I'm sure. He didn't have it long, but it was when they were newly released.

He may of done.
