Ugly?
Perceptions - Poll
Is this the ugliest Honda ever built (there's been a few)
Apparently my boss's brother just bought one.

Re: Perceptions - Poll
it's up there but I don't think its the ugliest, in fact in black it looks like the best Goldwing ever.
And the DN-01 was much worse

Re: Perceptions - Poll
Big beast, even though it's touted as stripped down Goldwing, it's still 128kg heavier than our lastest model Bandit. Has a larger tank by 6 lt but is almost 1/2 metre longer. I suppose that is what is meant by a Cruiser.

Re: Perceptions - Poll
Trouble is - Honda took off all the things that made it a Goldwing (from memory of the test I read), including the radio and the electric reverse gear. So I just don't see the point of it - lots of other lighter, better sports-tourers and tourers around for the money they want. I'm not sure it's that ugly but it is a dud IMHO.

Re: Perceptions - Poll
Would say it's a bit bland really; an even more damning assessment.
Still, if I wanted to do a two-up tour across the USA I'd give one a go.

I have to agree with madmax, so I made my vote, "not ugly" as a posed to a DN-01

Re: Perceptions - Poll
Why you say Dino (DN-01) ugly. Not really a fair description I tells ya.
Got one sitting int he shed and they don't look THAT bad in real life.
Or so SWMBO tells me anyways.

I'd say it's on par with the DN01, so not the ugliest.

Re: Perceptions - Poll
I know here Honda dealers cannot not get them in fast enough to keep up with demand. I actually really like the black one but it is the only one I have seen in person. The red one looked great in a magazine test ride I read. I do not like cruisers, just not my cuppa tea, I do how ever quite like some baggers and the fact there is one that is quiet low key appearance wise, not obnoxiously loud, is very "rideable", and is not a chopped up Harley....**slow clap**
I think I could retire onto that before I went to the all dressed 'wing.
