The DN-01 is a concept model that developed with the aim of "creating new value" without being locked into any existing category of motorcycle. While the automatic model has been synonymous with the scooter and has made a clear departure from motorcycles, Honda presents the automatic sports cruiser "DN-01" featuring Honda's unique infinitely variable hydraulic mechanical transmission, the "HFT" (Human Fitting Transmission). The DN-01 is easy to operate and offers much sportier performance than existing automatic transmissions. Delivering an exciting riding experience like no other, the DN-01 Discovery Cruiser offers adults a fresh motorcycling style.

There is something about the DN-01 I like as well... Cant put my finger on it though!!

[Surffrog]

What do you think of the Suzuki, Loopy?

[LoopyLee]

Not really to my taste but if looks alone said how fast it went I imagine about 200mph!!! It looks like it was born to go fast!!!

Looks heavy too...

[Surffrog]

Yeah, I was thinking it might well be a bit*h to turn in small roads. But, given how there seems to be a lot of this style making an appearance at bike shows maybe it (or something like it) will be the shape of the future
