DN-01 by Honda

Honda proclaim this as the future of motorcycling, but is it?
* It is based on the Deauville 700, but
* It has to make do with LESS power, and
* It has an automatic gearbox.
* It doesn't have the handy storage spaces, or,
* The underseat storage the Deauville or a maxi-scooter has.
It's the Honda DN-01 - but it's no Deauville!
