    The DN-01 test

    The DN-Oh what test!

    After riding the queer Buell 1125CR, it was time to ride another bike that appeared to be half way through a sex change, rather than all the way through it.

    The DN-01 made me laugh.
    So many things to play with, Sport or drive mode on the tranny, with a optional manual override mode.
    It was so east to deck out, but so amusing I was laughing my head off.
    But more crucially, it feels safe to ride, the big wheels are great, and it feels more fun to ride than Suzuki’s queer burgervan 650.
    It was fun to test the ABS, which I really liked, this bike really is pretty fool proof, which is a advantage to my style of riding.
    The screen is too low to see the dash properly, and the styling is pretty queer, but if your into that kind of thing, and like something different, you will like this!
    The suspension surprised both me and my photographer (zeroindex) on how good it was at coping with bumps, and we tested it properly as you can see.
    This is a very easy to ride, to ride bike, that is not pretending to be anything its not.
    Its also very comfortable, and would suit a older gentleman who needs something to ride that will assist him in riding.
    Sure its costs a bit, but I would have this over a shitty Buell.

    Well well well. Why doesn't this surprise me? Probably room for your overlocker in glovebox too.

    Yeah, but how does it wheelie?
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
