Its officially arrived in NZ - an auto bike. Pretty damn expensive for a 650cc though at $23k. Pretty space-aged lookin. Thoughts? And will Aprilia bring the mana to town now?

Urm, could you be a little more specific?

I quite like it, maybe. A dam site better looking than a Burgman (pass the bucket).
But at $23k I'd be off to see Mr Triumph for a Speed Triple or even Mr Honda for the Predator. But then I'd be missing the point of the thing as its not designed to compete with either of those two.
I bet a fall off the side stand would write it off!

Its been in this country for a while. They have one at City Honda thats been sitting there for quite a while now, don't think many people are interested in it.

Yeah - I wonder why they opt for something like this but bypass the beautiful CB400 Super Four (available in Aus). If they could get these in a keen price I believe that attract a lot moving from 250's. I see the 09 model even gets VTEC - good for 54 hp.

The DN-01 isn't the only overpriced Honda model. Clearly the distributors must think they can move them at that price. Time will tell.

You maybe right but then I am biased. This ones a real hybrid that crosses a number of genres.
Also at $23K I think I'll stick with my Burger and still have $14K in the bank. However I'm sure the Honda would "perform" well.
Yet to see one on the tarmac tho'
pizza for cat?
and if not it should be

What are Honda thinking of with this bike ?
- A 680cc aint going to interested most bikers
- Especially when it weighs 270 kg FFS
- with a 15 litre tank
- and foot boards !!!
- and it costs $25,000
- and it looks like a joke
OK so it has the fancy transmission but why not put that on a proper bike and let people make their minds up instead of this....THING.
One hell of a ride.
