HondaDN 01

Description

The radical DN-01 is forging new directions in motorcycling, matching outrageous cruiser styling with the most advanced fully automatic transmission ever developed for a two-wheeled vehicle, the Human-Friendly Transmission. Combining all the power and thrills of the compact, liquid-cooled fuel-injected 680 cm³ V-twin engine, the HFT delivers an ease of operation that befits the bike’s overall air of laid-back freedom to explore. A wide, low, comfortable seat (with spacious pillion accommodation) back-swept bars and wide footboards accentuate the relaxed riding position and touring capabilities. Weight is precisely distributed for unprecedented stability, especially at high speeds, while the geometry is tailor-made for pleasurable, responsive handling. Add Monoshock Pro-Arm rear suspension and impeccable braking, and you have a cool, confident control that gives an unmatchable sensation of oneness with your bike.
Every finely honed component benefits from Honda’s ingenuity, expertise and design heritage. The overall result is a motorcycle that not only looks stunning and performs with outstanding proficiency, but can turn to any task a modern lifestyle will throw at it.
