I honestly don’t know what to make of the Honda DN-01. Its got a traditional cruiser seating position, but then has this crazy futuristic look, and an automatic transmission.  It’s like a hybrid of old-school / nu-skool.

Honda calls it a “crossover”.

I have no idea what that means. But the guys at Motorcycle.com do, because they got to ride one. And I am jealous. So go read their story.

Last month, while your very own MotorcycleNewsGuy was in England he decided to stop by a Honda dealership – and you know what immediately caught his eye? A Honda DN-01 in the flesh! I must admit, these are some of the oddest two-wheeled creatures I’ve ever laid my eyes on, and even though I’m still not sure what to make of one, they do have the ability to draw stares from everyone.

And now, Honda, in a show of generosity to the motorcyclists here in North America, have decided to bring the DN-01 to the US.

I think that Honda’s version of a CVT, called the “Human Friendly Transmission” is probably the most interesting feature of this bike, but check out cycleworld.com for full details, including price.
