Honda NT650V Deauville (1998 - 2005) review

A capable bike. And that's the most exciting thing about it!
dull as dishwater, but if dependable and unbreakable is what you’re after, this could be it
You know you can count on a Deauville day in, day out
But would you have a burning desire to ride it?

Yes, it’s dull as dishwater, but if dependable and unbreakable is what you’re after, this could be it. Just don’t expect to stay awake riding it
