2003 Honda NT650V Deauville review from United Kingdom
"Extremely satisfactory touring bike"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing to date.
General comments?
Extremely comfortable even on 300 mile trips along the motorway. Quiet and low noise/buffeting to 55 mph at higher speeds not quite so good.
Extremely good weather protection, especially if lower shields, upper wind deflectors and large touring screen are fitted.
Acceleration is good at lower speeds, but tends to be less impressive at higher speeds.
Braking and handling are good with confidence in handling on corners. Little affected by roughness/defects in road surface.
Definitely not a sports bike with fairly heavy, but precise handling.
Starting excellent, even in Winter weather.
