Honda’s Space Age DN-01 Hits Town.

With its astounding concept bike looks, long-and-low proportions, high-styled 17" wheels and powerful V-twin engine, Honda’s new DN-01 is most certainly a motorcycle that provides all the exhilarating riding enjoyment one would expect from the finest of its breed.

But with one major difference… it has no clutch!

Instead, the DN-01 introduces to motorcycling the most advanced fully automatic transmission ever developed for any two wheeled vehicle.

When the DN-01 first debuted at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show, many thought it to be just another interesting concept bike that would disappear and be promptly forgotten. Its promise of strong performance delivered through an ‘infinitely variable HFT transmission’ seemed like another wild claim.

Little did people know that the long years of research and development that went into this model wouldcome to fruition in a motorcycle that would carry all the styling impact and technological advancements ofits initial concept, and still deliver on its promise of unparalleled riding enjoyment.
