Potski finds the DN-01 a little confusing
MCN editor Marc Potter has just ridden the new 680cc Honda DN-01 around Lake Como in northern Italy as part of the first group to test the bike.
He said: “Unfortunately Lake Como is covered in mist and rain so I have been gingerly pottering around trying my best to avoid mad Italian drivers and big manhole covers on corners.

“I am pleased to reveal the new DN-01 is a really good motorcycle but I’m still very confused who is actually going to buy one. The bike looks as though it’s still a concept but it grows on you the more time you spend with it. However it feels like a confused scooter crossed with a cruiser.
“It’s very easy to ride in electronic manual mode or full automatic but it doesn’t seem to have enough punch to be a cruiser and no luggage carrying capacity to be a scooter.
“Before I became editor, I was a road tester for seven years and this is the first time I’ve ever ridden a bike for any period of time and not been sure what it’s all about or what it’s for. ”
