George White in Swindon had a new one of them in their showroom for about 2 years before they eventually managed to sell it

Very very quiet, so you get people stepping out in front of you.
The auto works very well, just twist the throttle and go, like a turbine.

Gotta admit, I'd love to have a go on one too - bet it's a right hoot

I've always really liked 'em, especially in that Plum colour that they had at the NEC when it first came out . Was tempted to try one. Honda occasionally do something daring that often is also a sales flop but I think they should be applauded for it. I used to like the old PC800 (Pacific Coast) too as it was well different in its day and boy would I love to have a Rune in the garage.
I must admit I have never seen a DN01 being ridden on the road though. Possibly another example of Honda being slightly ahead of the curve as a number of manufacturers, BMW included, are now seriously looking at big scoots that are closer to a big bike than the usual Silverwing or Burgman. A renewed effort to tempt cagers on to bikes and allow scooterists to have the better performance & handling of a bike but with the practicality/simplicity of a scooter.
Now the old sage of the south has spoken how long will it be before we see a DN-01 sub forum

Well i won't be getting a used one until they drop dramatically in price.
I thought the DN-01 used an 800 engine

Have to say this is one bike I really liked when it was announced at the NEC. I'd still quite like one but the used price still seems high for a bike you can't be sure will resell well or continue to be supported for the foreseeable future.
I thought it was the 700 twin as used in the Dull ville.
Welsh guy had one at a hotel I was staying at in the Alps this Summer, he lost it one a bend, I must say, they crash quite well. Bet the parts to repair cost an arm&leg though

I think you're thinking of the Gilera Fuoc Off or something like that.
Nearly, mine's a 500 single.....
