This fantastic looking bike is due for release shortly. With its astounding concept bike looks, long and low proportions, high-styled 17" wheels and powerful V-twin engine, Honda's new DN-01 is a motorcycle that provides all the exhilaration one would expect from the finest of its breed. But with one major difference... it has no clutch! Instead, the DN-01 introduces to motorcycling the most advanced fully automatic transmission ever developed for any two wheeled vehicle.

The DN-01 first debuted at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show and many thought that Its promise of strong performance delivered through an 'infinitely variable HFT transmission' could not work. Well Honda have proved them wrong and such a bike will be released later this year.
