2008 Honda NT700V Deauville
Summary:
Does everything in an ordered, reliable, predictable and unobtrusive manner
Faults:
Nothing.
General Comments:
The Ford Focus of the motorcycle world.
Very comfortable with amazing wind and weather protection.
I commute 110 miles a day on mine, just get on and press the start button, it works.
Virtually maintenance free, I check the oil level and the tyre pressures weekly, they have never needed topping up.
Rear tyre lasted 8K miles. Looks as new when I bother to clean it.
Returns 50-55mpg dependent on aggression.
Quick enough, but runs out of puff around 95mph (licence preserver).
If you want weekend excitement, look elsewhere, but if you need a tool to do a job, the Deauville 700 is it.
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes

You love passing a Deauville? I doubt Deauville owners even care. Motorcycling isn't just about speed. Some of us like to cruise.

I agree! So many people think that motorbikes are just about speed, which in my opinion is pretty pathetic. Owning and riding motorcycles is about so much more than that. Personally I like the Deauville. I've never owned one, but I'm tempted. More than enough power for real world riding.

I love passing this bike on my Suzuki DL-650. Both bikes are much the same, but the DL-650 has the edge.
