Honda deauville, what are they like?
|
I've been thinking of downsizing... So couriers use them, they're
prolly not exciting, but do they work in an everyday comuting general
purpose kinda way? Anyone owned one? Good points, bad points? Shaft
drive looks tempting... Prolly not as hoonable as the GS (cue Lozzo
and his pencil-licking...) Whats the economy like? What are they like
to live with?

Does what it says on the tin kind of bike.
Reliable
Stops well (I like the Brembo calipers)
Goes OK solo, little sluggish two up
Suprisingly good on the bendy bits - dont try to chase a Fireblade thou!
Seat is comfy for 4 hours or a couple of 200 mile tank fulls
55mpg at 80mph on autobhan, honest!
65mpg on sensible run
Fuel tank range 180 miles to 220 ish miles
Heavy at 220kg
Fit the Honda tall screen for serious touring or winter comuting
