It can't be comming to the US market, it has a top box as an option!!!

 

[STCPO]

Well hopefully this is one step closer to them bringing the XL700V over.

Cheers,

The first paragraph does say American Honda so...

But I think the $11,000 price tag is going to be hard for people who want a commuter to swallow when you can buy a small car for not much more.

Body work same as new big brother ST ?:biker:

"Large-capacity saddlebags feature a pass-through space between the two sides to facilitate packing of longer items and provide additional carrying capacity."

So your pies, pizzas, racks of ribs, etc., could lay flat. That's cool.

It comes in the only two colors I really like on a motorcycle: silver and red.

It costs too much for a 700.

Adjustable windshield, but no mention of electrical adjustment so probably mechanical only.

It has tipover wings...is that V-Twin mounted Guzzi style?

Wet weight 571 lbs for ABS version. Seems heavy for a 700, doesn't it?

Nah, it's the same body work the bike has always had. It's only new to North America; the rest of the world has had it for years.

Same Deuville they've been selling in Europe for some time. If the new VFR/ST costs more than the present 1300 (new):money1: I can't believe they wont find a market.

It looks like it might be a good solo bike for my wife. The price seems a bit steep to me though.

yes I wanted on of those fro years , but I settled on the big brother ST... the engine is same as the DN-01 engine. 10K with all the bags and stuff they describe maybe not so mutch , however as I recall the Euro version came with smaller bags and had to buy the bigger ones as an option.

Shaft Drive......................don't know about the tank size though.

 

[George]

So, the Dullville finally makes it to the US. 'Bout time!

I'm betting this will sell better than the DN-01, and the auto tranny should be an option here. My opinion.

Honda doesn't list power and torque on that spec sheet, but if it's the same as the NT700V that's been out in Europe since 2006 it makes 65 hp @ 8000 RPM and 49ft-lb @6500 RPM.

 

[MeanST]

Possible alternative to the 800 BMW. Not sure about seat adjustment options if any.

 

[Onicabbit]

so its like a STeed and a Mule (crf) off spring?

Guess Capt. Gruvvy going to have to wait for the STeed and SeaHorse (AquaTrax) off spring.

If I'm not mistaken this motor is a derivative of my beloved Hawk GT albeit a bit bigger displacement. Given this heritage - it most likely won't scare anyone power wise (I know my Hawk didn't).

Price will be $9999. w/o ABS and $10999. with ABS

windshield will be manual adjust - 5 position like Goldwing
Bags will not be removable.
Says low seat height, but when you go to the Deauville specs, it show 31.7
(not very low).

Not a bad price point to compete with
BMW 800ST

Same top end design as the Hawk GT. The shaft version in Urp was called NTV600 Revere. Naked standard in original form it was a favorite with British Courier Riders. It grew into the NTV 650 in 93, then the Deauville 650, now 700. The basic engine has been around since 88.
