The Daddy of the entire range of midweight Honda V twins was the VT500E, a six speed machine which was more like a 5 speed with overdrive, downsides were the silly air forks and even sillier inboard ventilated front disc brake, other than that a great machine to own and ride.
watching the video several times - i like it, cause I had a ville too so I understand what you are talking about. Will buy a ville again, but this time with the cbs...
One of my biggest regrets is not buying a pristine Deauville a few years ago for a bargain. It had a perfectly good engine with more power than I would ever need but I passed it over for a more modern machine that in the end did not suit me. There is a lot to be said for a motorcycle that you can stuff all your gear into without needing extra bags. Even at the time the Deauville was well "out of date" but who cares. It was /is a great motorcycle. Lovely trip you had there.
KÖszönön , nagyon tetszett az út , a táj , a kameramunka . Ilyen motorunk van és pont ilyen túrákat csinálunk , csak magyarország és a környező országokban . Sok jó motorozást kívánok .
Lovely filmed & detailed review! Just passed my test, and have the chance to pick up a well maintained low mileage 2003 model. Seems to be the perfect budget commuter/tourer to rack up some experience! 🎉
My favorite of the family is the NT650GT Hawk / Bros. It’s a pity to lose the shaft drive as such but together with the aluminum frame it makes the bike a little 170 kg squirter without losing too much of its every day practicality. Except the much too small 10 l tank, that is! 😉😁
what s great day out you both had. Thank You for this informative review, coming with a lot objectivity and detail. Currently, I am searching for a good NTV650 OR NTV700 and what you have said is most encouraging and helpful. Safe Riding and thanks again.
Hi, good question. The 700 has fuel injection and a little more power, 2 less spark plugs, it is an evolution of the 650 and certainly looks more angular, sitting on the 700 I found myself a little more upright and more on the bike than in the bike if you see what I mean ?. 700 has a wider seat and more modern looking clocks, In reality apart from updates to the engine a bit more power and a more modern look on the 700 they offer more or less the same experience to ride, both are reasonable powered v twins with shaft drive, upright riding positions and built in luggage. Both handle well and are agile. There are owners who prefer one over the other, but in my humble opinion ‘there is a horse for every cowboy’ and more importantly many owners of both the 650 and 700 are very complimentary about their Deauvilles and rate them highly as all round bikes. On the Internet forums for Deauvilles you will see that both 650 and 700s have their followers and admirers. Oh and my 650 is very reliable given that it is maintained appropriately, I have no reason to think the 700 is any different in the reliability department. Hope this helps and maybe some other 650 or 700 owners will add their views and opinions.
