Honda Nt650v Deauville
The Honda NT650V Deauville was introduced in 1998 as a practical, shaft-driven touring motorcycle aimed at commuters and leisure tourers seeking comfort and practicality. It featured an unusual built-in luggage system with integrated panniers in the bodywork, a relatively unique design choice for the segment. The model was succeeded by the larger NT700V Deauville in 2006, which carried forward the same practical touring philosophy with a bigger engine.

What Buyers Should Know
Rock-Solid Honda Reliability
The NT650V uses Honda's proven 52° V-twin engine known for exceptional longevity, with many examples surpassing 100,000 km with minimal issues when regularly serviced.
Watch the Final Drive
The shaft drive is generally low-maintenance, but inspect for oil leaks around the rear drive unit — a known weak point on higher-mileage examples that can be costly to repair.
Unique Built-In Storage
Unlike most bikes in its class, the Deauville features integrated lockable panniers built into the bodywork, making it a practical touring option without the need for aftermarket luggage.
