Is Honda going to sell the DN-01 in the U.S. this year?
I need to know if Honda is going to sell the DN-01 in 2008,
Honda Dealers lie to me and they don’t know!
I’m planning on a new bike for 2008, and if I know the DN-01 is coming out I might buy it over either the Suzuki Burgman, or the Piaggio MP3 500
Good question on USA availability. This is confirmed: the MP3-500 (aka Gilera Fuoco) will be available February 08 and the Aprilia 850 Mana auto-tranny motorcycle will be available spring-summer 08.
The DN-01 has been confirmed as a EU & UK model and UK dealers are currently taking deposits for February 08 delivery. The DN-01 is also confirmed on the Honda AU website as an Australian model. "Recommended retail to be confirmed; expected release date: second half of 2008."
The earliest any new bike would be available in the USA would be June 08 as a 2009 model but more likely it would be announced at the dealer meeting in October 08 and be on the showroom spring of 2009. However, many people suspect that the USA will never get this model as the guy running the motorcycle division of Honda America refuses to import many bikes including the Transalp which shares the same 680 engine as the DN-01.
THIS IS ALL I COULD FIND AND ALSO THAT IS A VERY GOOD LOOKING BIKE.
Honda is expected to release the DN-01 for production at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007, to be held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan from Saturday, October 27 to Sunday, November 11, 2007.
