A machine only Honda can build

The DN-01's extraordinary HFT transmission is, of course, one of the first things you'll notice about this bike. But there's much, much more. Underneath all that sculpted bodywork beats a 680cc v-twin engine with a broad powerband and plenty of torque. And the DN-01's brakes are unique too. We're offering a machine with Combined ABS, a system which links both front and rear brakes and includes our proven Anti-lock Brake System. The DN-01 offers a combination of features unique in the motorcycling world, and which point to the future. And that's exactly what you'd expect when you choose a Honda.

  • HFT Transmission

    • Fully-automatic HFT transmission offers several modes. You can put it in D and it functions like a stepless automatic. S is the sport mode for more spirited riding. And Mlets you shift between five preset ratios—only there's no clutch to worry about.
    • The HFT has to be the most user-friendly transmission ever developed. It gives you all the convenience of an automatic, yet much of the control of a manual, should you choose.

  • Linked Braking System (LBS)

    • Rear brake is controlled by a wide foot pedal, while front brake is a conventional bar-mounted lever.
    • Both front and rear are linked to provide optimal braking force to both wheels.
    • ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) helps maintain braking confidence under less than ideal conditions.

  • E680cc V-Twin Engine

    • Famous for their low-revving torque and wide powerbands, Honda's v-twins are a great choice for just about every rider.
    • Shaft final drive eliminates chain maintenance.
