The 2009 Honda DN-01 is being billed as a “crossover.” Part cruiser,part Sport-bike, part scooter, the automatic transmission, 680 cc, liquid-cooled V-twin is all of those things. Whether it will sell is another matter; 599 is a lot of money in a down market, but from a design and technology standpoint, Honda’s DN-01 is stellar.
The Toyota Tundra full-size pickup truck, recognized for its value and dependability, offers simplified option package selections for 2012, as well as detailed enhancements throughout the lineup. The Limited grade and available TRD Rock Warrior package both include a standard back-up camera for 2012. The 4.0-liter Dual Overhead Cam (DOHC) V6 engine with Dual Independent Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) standard in Tundra Regular and Double Cab models produces 270 horsepower and 278 lb.-ft. peak torque. It is paired with a five-speed automatic transmission with uphill/downhill shift logic. The available 4.6-liter DOHC i-Force V8 offers 310 horsepower and 327 lb.-ft. of peak torque, and the 5.7-liter DOHC i-Force V8 produces 381 horsepower and 401 lb.-ft. of peak torque. All Tundra engines feature an aluminum cylinder block and DOHC heads, along with Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) for a broad torque curve and optimized efficiency.

I would like to have proper automatic motorbike to ride in London..
the fucken ugliest two-wheeler since the invention of the wheel.
I want it
Kamen ride decade machine is rare by now
Hiks hiks
I saw this bike yesterday. It’s almost $8000 now.
I’d like to ride one. I would like to ride a motor cycle but always felt intimidated by the fact that all have manual transmissions. I think an Automatic tranny would open the world of motorcycles up to me.

a cool and special bike for some people…
SF Movie Bike
Well, I have a Hondamatic from the 80′s so this isn’t really anything special…
Great timing Susan with the scraping sounds just as you described the handling as “shocking.” That says it all when it comes to the machine’s pathetic leaning limitations. Looks comfortable, but for under ten grand I can get 50mpg, go 200 mph, keep the insurance under 200/yr, and have more fun than Disney.
14 k crap. No way in hell. Love Honda but there is no way.
Smoother - cool!
thats right u moron what myancov said <<<< research before you open ur empty mind my son
uhh, no.
the burgman, and most other scooters, use a “belt & pulley” CVT.
the DN-01 uses a hydraulic-mechanical CVT — far more durable, reliable, and predictable, than a traditional CVT.
new “leftover” Dino’s are going for under $9K now….
The suzuki burgman 650 has been using this type of “ground breaking” auto/manual CVT transmission since 2003! The burgman 650 is a better bik in everyway. It has better wind protection, is more comfortable, faster, more powerful, tons more storage capacity and costs about $5000-$8000 less brand new.
You can buy 3 nice low mileage burgman 650′s used for less than 1 honda dn-01.
Failed!
> “The Handling one this bike is nothing short of shocking”
> “Even at low speeds the handling is just premium”
What the fuck?
this bike would be cool IF it were about half the price. mostly old guys buy the big scooters when you look at price and you half to fully lift you’re leg to get on most old guys will just buy a bergmen.
Forget the bike ! I’d rather mount Susan instead
I vote for presenter
Anyone know her name?
yeh i definitly want the ughhh
Holy Crap !! I would’nt like to lay into a bend on that ! See how she cliped the foot rest at 1.17 ?? thats f*cking terrible ! I get more lean on a Goldwing !
Honra motori su sasvim sigurno medju najbo;jima u svetu ali komentar o vozilima vode lica koja nemaju dovoljno znanja za ovu oblast
why do they always show her riding in a cemetery
i take susan
Cheap looking interior
@ FX4Ranger2002 I was a ford guy since I started driving at 15 until I recently purchased a new 2012 F150 which was plagued by so many issues it spent 34 out of 62 days of ownership in the shop for transmission and overheating issues along with quality control problems ranging from a headliner that wasn’t glued in areas to the passenger rear door not lining up with the front after ford refused to assist with a buy back or any help I decoded to go with a truck whose company stands behind their p
And by the way Ranger 2002, i used to be a GM man but i got so pissed off one day fixing my two GMC halftons that i go that Tacoma. What a difference!!!! Repair and autopart bills were history and the monthly fuel bill was cut in half. My Tundra has bin exilent so far and it is a real joy that fuel and not repairs are the biggest expence.
Big deal Fx4 Ranger2002. I got a 1998 Toyota Tacoma that year after year pulls a 1.5 tonne pasture harrow for thousands of miles over rough pastures at 30 Mph. It does not squeek or rattle and has no repair work or wheel alignment done to it (320K). My blazer’s transmission and frontend were fixed twice on that distance and that one was only used on the road. Don’t worry Toyota knows how to build trucks and i am so impressed with the tacoma that i also bought a tundra and absolutely love it
@Fx4Ranger2002 Just another brainwashed ford fanboy. Smh. Ford used to be good, but now their not good at anything but marketing.
You will see that on any Ford truck, the suspension is heavy duty and usually acquires 200k miles before you have any ball joint problems, etc. My Ranger 4.0 has 178k on it and it hasnt had any bearing, balljoint, or suspension issues and its been in mud up to the doors and off road plenty of times. It doesnt matter if the truck is domestic or foreign, my Ranger has seen more work and hauling than most big trucks on the road, people usually buy big trucks to compensate for what they dont have
Haha your so fucking delusional, your driving the truck known for frame warpage, a two piece welded c channel frame made from stamped sheet metal, lousy sheet metal rear diff and axles, watch toyota tundra bed bounce, the F-150 clearly wins that category, its a test of build quality. The Tundra along with any other Toyota truck is a poorly built pos, Toyota has never been worth a fuck at making trucks, compare the Toyota truck suspension to a Fords, no comparison on the winner there…Ford wins
lol, the main reason I own a Tundra is because parts of the frame of the Ford were coming lose and the wheels had to be recalibrated too much after driving on bumpy lease roads for my work. I don’t have these problems with the Tundra, and you’re just a little kid anyway what would you know about off roading? I have to off road all the time with heavy hardware for work purposes. You don’t even know what you’re talking about.
Thats your opinion. Ever wonder why construction, industrial, hauling, mechanical, and automotive companies use American trucks like GM and Fords to to all the work? The answer is because they last, their dependable, they have the adequate horsepower and torque to do the job, and they are built for work. Toyota pickups are for pussy men who dress and act tough who never take their truck offroad and only haul tampons, and they diss American products like its 1980 all over again
Ford is a totally inferior truck to Toyota, I’ve owned both a F150 and a Tundra and will never go back to Ford. American products are junk and overpriced.
Fords do not last longer than Tunrdas and it’s widely known. You don’t get what you pay for, you get ripped off by ford.
yeah I guess man lol
thats because they have all died after 5 years and went to the junkyard to be melted down into the even cheaper made new Tundras. Its pretty bad when I weigh 185lbs and lean up against the side of the bed on a Tundra having a conversation and the whole side caves in, talk about a quality TOY…ota truck. I hate Japanese import trucks but if I had to choose I would go with Nissan. Nissan Frontiers are pretty nice and shit on cheap, cheesy, knockoff walmart Toyota Tacomas anyday
Go to the Ford dealership an look around, the cheapest F-150 I saw was $34,000 for a stripped crewcab 4×2 with cloth seats, rubber floors, and power windows. My girlfriends dad is a manager at Toyota and there is a 6” fabtech lifted new Tundra 4×4 with big wheels and blackout rims for 37,000. You get what you pay for, a similar F-150 would cost you $60,000 or more. Fords last forever, I see tons of 20-30 year old F-150s on the road. I never see any of the old style Tundras anymore
i thought that was ford lol
Toyota used to be a good 100hp economy 4 cylinder truck, then they started trying to make them bigger and compete in the compact and midsize market using cheap parts like stamped sheet metal frames and sheet metal rear diffs. They get recalls for horrible bed bounce, frame warpage, blown camshafts, etc. It used to be Ford and GM on the recalls back in the 90s but now its Toyota. Toyota is like the wal-mart of the car industry, cheap, shiny, and affordable
The Ford Ranger was discontinued on December 16, 2011 because it had not seen much exterior styling since ’93. It had recieved internal and mechanical upgrades though. The 4.0 went from 160hp to 245hp and the 2.3 was boosted to 143hp. Ford sold more Rangers in 2011 than mustangs in 2011. Orkin bought the last of the Ranger fleet trucks. Ford pays most of its attention to the new F-150 EcoBoost and the Ford Taurus SHO both with the 3.5L 365hp 420ftlbs of torque.
The Ranger comment….. You know that Ford has discontinued that truck here in the States? If it’s so great and they sell so many fleet vehicles, why would they discontinue it? And the few Americans that design a truck is nothing compared to how many American workers that work a plant…… Hmmm….. Does Toyota put more Americans to work?
The cheap frame is the same c channel one Ford uses for the Superduty. So the Tundra frame is closer to a Superduty than the F150′s? You’re right about the ecoboost. But Ford did just redesign and introduce new motors. Toyota hasn’t redone the Tundra since 2007. Let’s just wait and see…..
Also, what truck lasts longer? I see a hell of alot more Rangers and F-150s ranging between 1985-2010 than I do Tacomas or Tundras. Why? because Ford trucks last longer, construction companies and fleets rely on Rangers and F-150s because they are tanks and can take a serious assbeating and haul and tow. They know any Toyota pickup would buckle and crumble under the slightest amount of stress or load, a Tundra or Tacoma wouldnt last a day on the job
The Tundra is hardly American. All its engineering and styling comes from Japan which means its a JAPANESE TRUCK. Toyotas used to be good trucks(even know they are notorious for rusting in half) they are made with shitty, cheap parts now and arent worth a shit. They made good cars and 4 cylinder economy trucks in the 80s and 90s but now they cant go two months without a major recall. Do yourself a favor and keep that Ford that is designed by AMERICANS who cares where its made
Your better off with your Ford F-150. Both the Tundra and Tacoma are built on a stamped sheet metal frame. In 2007 the Tundra recieved a below average reliability rating for the tailgate inexplicably popping open and bucking due to poor frame&build quality. In 2009 it recieved an average reliability rating, I guess average means a truck thats been known to blow camshafts, failing 4×4 systems, and a pos stamped sheet metal rear diff
The 5.4 triton killed the Tundra from 1999 until recently in power and torque. Now the 3.5L EcoBoost puts out 365hp and 420ftlbs of torque w/ 11300lb towing capacity, there is also a 6.2L with 412hp. Both kill the Tundra in towing and torque and are overall better more durable trucks. Who are you gonna trust? the American company(Ford) that was making trucks when your great grandpa was shitting in diapers or Toyota thats been making mediocre trucks for 20 years?
I own the F150 because it’s cheaper used.
