Overview
The Honda DN-01 is a cruiser produced from 2006 to 2014. The 2014 model has a 680 cm³ liquid-cooled V-twin four-stroke engine producing 60 hp (45 kW) and 64 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm; its wet weight is 269 kg.
Its 691 mm seat height makes it easier for many riders to reach the ground, though the 269 kg wet weight takes effort to maneuver at low speeds. The HFT automatic clutch removes the need to operate a clutch lever, while the six-speed manual gearbox still lets the rider choose gears. Shaft drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment. Fuel consumption is 4.00 liters/100 km, and the 15-liter tank gives a calculated full-tank range of about 375 km.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Low seat
The 691 mm seat height makes it easier to plant your feet at stops.
Clutch-free shifting
The HFT automatic clutch handles clutch operation while the rider shifts through the six-speed manual gearbox.
Shaft final drive
Shaft drive means there is no chain to clean or adjust.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speeds
At 269 kg wet, the DN-01 takes effort to maneuver in tight spaces and when parking.
Limited ground clearance
Its 130 mm of ground clearance can restrict progress over tall obstacles or uneven surfaces.

Estimated ground reach
Both feet likely flat
You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
