Honda's Make me laugh

it would be legal in WI because, the maximum allowable height between the handle bars and the top of the seat can only be 37 inches.

Don't know how they came up with that standard (it may be 36 inches, but that would be an even yard and way to simple).

and, more importantly, my height from butt to shoulder is about 24 inches, so I would be reaching up nearly a foot. Can't imagine that would be comfortable.

This bike, it goes under the "cbx" and such concept that didn't quite work.

I agree the DN-01 is different. But if you review it's spec's you can see that it is geared toward newer riders, commuters etc. Small engine is good on gas, automatic transmission is good for in city and heavy traffic. Good egro's and windscreen. And I think it looks cool and well done.
Not my cup of tea but, it may have a place. At least they are doing more than just tweaking for higher unusable HP's and for twistee's that don't exist in most places.

Of course I think Aprillia did a better job for a simliar type of bike. Check out the Aprilia Mana 850 GT. 850CC automatic 6speed transmission, under seat fuel, leaving a large storage where the traditional tank is, big enough for full face. It even has built in 12 volt accessory plug in.
