[2fiddy.com] - 2009 Honda DN-01
Just some motorcycle news for motorcycle people. Honda is bringing it’s DN-01 to the US. This is really a super interesting bike to me. It is almost a Ninja 250 for the mature transition yuppie* biker.* The reason I say that, is it fills a niche that is hard to to find right now. It’s a bike for that guy/gal that wants a sportbike style with cruiser comforts. In addition it comes with a very manageable 680cc v-twin to push it’s 595 lbs down the road. The most interesting part is it’s transmission. Automatic / CVT… WTF? Honda’s radical new HFT Transmission, it’s an automatic unlike anything you’ve ever seen. You can shift it into six preset ratios, or you can let it function as a stepless, no-shifting Constantly Variable Transmission, or CVT.This, technology wise, is pretty rad.. Which also make it a really nice starter bike for some (yes, manuals can be the demise to some would be bikers…) But at the end of the day, to me, it does takes the fun out of function. The only real downside I see, is that at $14,599, I don’t see fellatio as a standard feature? Perhaps that will be in next years model. More Info: Honda USA Click here for full story...
