Honda NT700V/650V Deuville

[Guest GuiNNeSS]

For the right price, I'll give you ALL the details u need......

 

In fact, you can test ride all the way home and take your time to slowly examine all the individual component.

 

Or you could bring down Science Park Rd and scrap the foot pegs. Or to N/S highway and clear the meter!

RE: stability, up to 160 sitting up no problem, 180 you'll want to bend over but bike still stable.

 

2up riding, up to 140 is comfortable, 150 bearable and anything more you can bend over but pillion willl suffer (Not recommended).

[MrBoliao]

rellie ah ? ey after I complete my class 2 TP test/s I lend and test ride for 1 hr can? I give you my vtec key if you scared hehe.

 

Anywayz I dun even ride up to 140km/hr , so its great if 140 is still nice and comfy , I think I'll get it but I still wanna test ride it.

[Guest GuiNNeSS]

I said "for the right price....." ie: you can buy the whole bike and test to your hearts content! hahaha

Yo! Guinness...

hows the pickup and height clearance (for humps), corner (footpeg) clearance?

pickup can win super4?

[Deauville8888]

Yes, The DV pick up can anytime faster than a S4.

[Guest GuiNNeSS]

Yes, The DV pick up can anytime faster than a S4.

 

Yes, DV with SAF!!!!!

 

DV on the move rolling on torque in 3rd might pull harder, but there is NO way (except perhaps with SAF!) that the DV will out gun a S4 on a "standing start".

[MrBoliao]

DV got HISS meh?

[Guest GuiNNeSS]

DV got HISS meh?

 

Rattlesnakes also HISS....

 

[Guest Sotong]

Guinness, just out of curiosity but what bike are you changing to from DV?

 

Pardon my interuption, but I have chosen an old FM ST11 over newer DV650, Div900 and even PC800.

Reason: Its got style, comfort, storage, power (Notice I didn't say speed...), wrenchability (can DIY on it cos its still carb injection and not EFI) and stability.

Actually all the bikes you mention all also run on carbs....

 

Still.... everyone has diff opinions and percieved needs. So as long as you chose the bike you want, most of the time you can't go wrong.

[Guest Sotong]

so whats your next call? I am just using it for reference. Kawa? I kind of love my ST so much that these days, I ask myself, whats next... or rather what else...

[Guest GuiNNeSS]

Maybe a Bird..... just maybe.....

DIY an ST11??? you must be joking! any of the above bikes will be easier to DIY than an ST11! Everything is concealed!

[Guest Sotong]

To Porker:

Not joking... there is always a first time...

 

To Guinness:

Interesting choice! but EFI = low DIY option

Yes , Deauville NT650V2 2002 has a HISS(Honda Ignition Security System) . I'm currently riding one. Fuel consumption base on my exp. is as follows:

1. 300km w/o reserve valve on.(about $15 for Shell fusion)

2. Heavy but good handling while on the move.

3. Pick up was faster compare to my Ex. super 4 Ver. R model.

4. Top speed was 170 km/h (tested) but with pillion was more diffcult to achieve in 5th gear.

5. My ger say it look like X9 from far.

6. Satisfied with the petrol consumption and lower road Tax rate.

7. Plenty of storage space.

Why don get a ST1100???? the difference in ins n rd tax fuel a lot???

[Guest Sotong]

For comparison purpose, For my ST: I pay $380 for rd tax a year and $450 for insurance (3rd party, no NCB) and my fuel consumption is 16-17 km/l on singapore traffic. I usually hit reserve at around 400km with another 60km more to go on reserve.

 

IMHO, I chose ST over DV because of storage and power. The two side boxes of the DV to me is really non existence, too small... In addition, manuvere with ST on highways with 2 up is really a breeze with lots of power to back you up. Heavy but rock stable, definitely a worthy buy.

yup in total (tax, insurance, instalment (bike price), maintenance (hard to diy) , fuel economy)quite a lot ...

[Guest jaho]

Personally, I like a bigger CC bike. My favourite is Haya and B.bird follow by ZXR750(the one with only one air intake in the front).

I'm standing 1.7m tall, frankly speaking my foot is not flat on the ground as the DV is rather high sitting. Moving the bike backward is difficult for a 223kg bike.

The temp. torlance for this bike is not as good as the japan made bike as it gets hot easily while at idle. The red warning light will lit up in no time if idle for too long. The fan will turn on after the red warning lit up for some time. (Spanish bike no summer?) The ex-DV owner say big bikes are like that, they say red light carry on and speed to cool the engine. He said that his Blackbird even puke coolant when it gets too hot...

However, for cornering and U-turn with just two car lane is not a problem. I bought this bike for its slimer look than ST (morning travel on Loryang and Changi village to Air Line Hse is not a joke.) My colleauge riding ST frequently has to give way to other smaller bikes as they like to squeeze throu. ( of course sometimes I also have to give way lah,,.. but not as much as he does)

Never ride an ST b4.. so cannot compare the comfort but power wise no need to say rite.

Bought this bike mainly bcos of pillion comfort unlike racer.

My bike cost $15,600 plus half yr rd tax, 1 yr insurance, IU and ....that's all. Sell my FN super4 ver r R for $5,500 so trade in the bike with annual interest 4.5% monthly @249 for 48 months

Hi,

The combine brake system dun give me any problem in fact it is good in the way it forbid me to use only my front brake too often...but my rear brake did give me headache. The first day of collecting my bike was an unpleasant one. The rear braking pad got jam and the rear wheel lock. I have to wait for 10 mins to cool down the braking fuel so as to release the lock of my rear wheel. (Maloo man..FU plate somemore) got it fix it for free of course.

EC = 200 cc $100 (flat rate) $80 (flat rate)

 

200 cc

You should be able to clear the speedometre, but at the top end, there will always be a larger discrepancy.

 

You got 300 w/o reserve! Good..... i usually only manage 280ish.... i once managed 385km (inc reserve) and still managed to get to a petrol station. A little harder to achieve once you run in the engine, cos you will tend to hold the gears for just a little bit longer.

 

Overall GOOD everyday bike.
