That's right the DN01 did run its course. it was twice as much as the NC700x and did not look as cool. Honda is still charging over 10 grand for the NT700v deauville. The adventure bike for 6999 is a steal or game changer. I am a happy owner of an xciting 250. I want something a little larger maybe xciting 500. I would consider this an option.
I believe the creation of this bike puts pressure on all maxi-scoots priced over 6999 like the Burgman, majesty, Tmax and Silverwing.
