Ye Gods! Someone actually bought one.........

Remember Honda's previous "why they hell did they build that" motorcycle, the DN-01? Well, there's an advert on Donedeal (over here in sunny Ireland) for a second hand one. Not only that, but it's got 10,000 kilometres on it. Good grief, not only did they buy it - but they rode it too!

Wonders never cease........

I've actually seen one on the road, once.

I have to admit I kinda like it, in a totally unpractical way. It's a daft old sled, but it has a certain charm somehow.

i was at japbikefest on sunday and the honda valkyrie club had a stand , now that is a huge lump of **** , who on earth would wanna ride one of them

Bigger is better, something about mistaking quantity for quality. Seems to be the same sort of people who drive ridiculously big (American, usually) cars. There's a gaggle of those round where I live. Nothing quite as sad as a Dutch Redneck, wearing cowboy boots and driving a raised Dodge RAM pickup that doesn't fit any of the local parking spaces and that has a lockable cover over the bed otherwise your stuff gets nicked. Get a van!

I saw one of those Pacific Coast things yesterday

Never seen a DN-01 or heard about it before.

I must admit that I have actually seen one - parked up at Colwyn Bay Motorcycles.

Hopefully I'll never see a Honda Vultus in the flesh........

There is a guy in Dundee who owned a DN-01 resl fugly imho) and I believe he put a fair few miles on it.
He now has an NC700, think his reason being that he only has an automatic licence.

Seen a DN 01 triked, looked ok. Was for a disabled rider so perfect from that angle. Mind you I actually like the look of my GS so obviously I'm blind to style!

Looks like a second one made it to Ireland - Donedeal DN-01. No wonder no one in the UK's ever seen one.

what's wrong with a PC800 had one enjoyed it. Only a Deauville (or XLV) with a few changes, more clothes and grunt, but then I have a Harley which may explain things!
