Honda Dn-01 700

The Honda Dn-01 700 has a top speed of 175 km/h, produces 59 hp and weighs 257 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

De Honda DN-01 werd in 2008 geïntroduceerd als een revolutionaire automatische cruiser, voorzien van Honda's innovatieve Human Friendly Transmission (HFT), een naadloze automatische versnellingsbak zonder koppelingshendels en zonder versnellingspedaal. Het was opmerkelijk vanwege zijn futuristische stijl, lage zithoogte en was een van de eerste mainstream motorfietsen die de esthetiek van een cruiser met succes combineerde met volautomatische transmissietechnologie. De productie eindigde rond 2010, waardoor het een relatief kortstondig maar historisch belangrijk model was dat de weg vrijmaakte voor Honda's latere ontwikkelingen op het gebied van automatische transmissies.

Revolutionary Automatic Transmission

The DN-01 features Honda's Human Friendly Transmission (HFT), a fully automatic clutchless system with no gear lever — a genuine first for a production cruiser. This makes it exceptionally beginner-friendly and reduces rider fatigue on long trips.

🔧

Watch the HFT System

The proprietary automatic transmission can be expensive to repair if it develops issues, and specialist knowledge is required since few mechanics are familiar with it. Always verify the transmission shifts smoothly through all modes before buying.

💰

Strong Niche Resale Value

The DN-01 was only produced from 2008 to 2010, making it a rare and collectible machine that holds its value surprisingly well compared to conventional cruisers. Its unique technology and limited production keep demand steady among enthusiast buyers.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers

7.5/10
Het beste voor
Urban commuters wanting effortless, reliable automatic riding

"A genuinely brilliant oddball that rewards patient, relaxed riders enormously."

$4,500-$7,500 used

The DN-01 is genuinely unlike anything else you'll ride. Honda's automatic transmission isn't just a gimmick — it's genuinely clever, with human and sport modes that actually change character meaningfully. Around town it's effortlessly smooth, and that low 690mm seat height makes it accessible without feeling compromised. The 680cc parallel-twin pulls cleanly from low revs and the futuristic styling still turns heads fifteen years on. Buying used, check the transmission carefully — they're mostly bulletproof but neglected fluid changes can cause hesitation between ratios. Inspect the underseat storage area for cracks and make sure the instrument cluster display is fully functional, because replacements are expensive and increasingly scarce. Mileage matters less here than service history. Reality check: it's not fast, topping out around 105mph, and parts availability is genuinely getting difficult. Dealers who actually know these bikes are rare. But for urban commuting paired with weekend scratching, the riding experience is addictively relaxed without being boring. Treat it right and it'll outlast most alternatives.
