Honda DN-01 2009 Specs Hot

Honda DN-01 2009

 

2009 Honda DN-01
The big news about the 2009 Honda DN-01 is that it is automatic. The new HFT transmission allows the rider to shift into six pre-set ratios, with the option of functioning as a Continuously Variable Transmission, meaning no shifts at all. The DN-01 has sports bike styling, takes the bumps like a touring bike, but rides like a cruiser; what else could you ask for? Honda claims that this bike, the world’s first cross-over bike, is nothing like you’ve ever seen before. Powered by a 680cc V-twin engine with shaft drive and no shifting at all, I have to say that riding this machine should be comfortable. This bike may not be as “fun to ride” as, for example, the CBR1000RR or the ST1300, but it doesn’t have to be; it’s a cross-over. So if you want a full-on sport bike, the CBR1000 or CBR600 will surely satisfy your need for speed, but if you want something that is comfortable to ride, performs like a sport bike, and operates with just the twist of the throttle. The 2009 Honda DN-01 should be something to keep in mind.
