The Honda DN-01 is a large, automatic sports cruiser equipped with Honda's own infinitely variable hydraulic mechanical "HFT" transmission with the worlds first lockup mechanism that offers superior throttle response. The transmission is coupled to a 680cm3 water-cooled, 4-stroke V-type, 2-cylinder engine.
the HFT is a compact and highly efficient encompassing functions for starting, power transmission and shifting, all on a single shaft. The basic configuration of the system consists of an oil pump for converting engine power into hydraulic pressure, and an oil motor for converting the hydraulic pressure back into power for output. The HFT's lockup mechanism works to minimize transmission efficiency losses, contributing to improved fuel economy.
The DN-01 offers both easy to operate features and the intrinsic sporty ride of a motorcycle and features a spacious riding position created by the low seat height, a wide and long passenger seat, and creative, organic styling that ensures joy in ownership.
The DN-01 is a new automatic sports model designed with pursuit of fine quality throughout the entire motorcycle.
