“I purchased my honda deauville as a commutor and I can honestly say I love the bike I ride no matter what the weather. And at all times I feel confident in the bike and what it's capable of .There is no nasty surprises. And even with 75K on the clock she never misses a beat.The only negative I can say is the rear swing arm and the front of engine will show signs of a winter riding quite quickly but nothing some cleaning and wax oil can't sought out.”
“honda deauville is like a volvo estate car, its safe , reliable and carry's a lot but is not the most exciting bike to ride. if you want to get to work on time, its great, you will not be late because the police have stopped you for doing a wheel on the way.”
“Being over 6 foot in height I have added handlebar risers and a higher screen. This has helped to make long journeys more comfortable.
I had downsized from a Pan European as advancing years (75) and knee problems dictated a lighter bike was necessary. Have not regretted the change as the alternative was no more biking.
