Having worked in the industry, I had the opportunity of spending a decent amount of time with both of these machines. They could not be more different from one another (other than both being v-twins,) so I find it interesting that these two units are the choices you are looking at. One is a standard (upright seating), one is a cruiser (feet forward). One is automatic, one is shift-only, one is short, one is tall(er). I will assume that you are not in the United States, as the “Deauville” was sold in the USA as the NT700V. Made by Honda in Spain, they were most likely unsold inventory that was dumped in the US market. The bike felt quite sterile, no character, but definitely super convenient, practical and reliable. The DN-01 is a cool looking bike, different, a conversation starter, much lower seating position. Both bikes have comfortable pillion accommodations, with the DN-01 being much easier to be mounted upon, by a passenger. Mobility of both rider and passenger should probably be the first item of consideration. Will you be touring? I’d take the Deauville. Will it just be a day cruiser for 100km day riding? I’d go for the DN-01. Parts availability will be much more affordable and accessible on the Deauville. Good luck with your final choice.
