Andy MOLES's review of Honda Deauville

Good Points
The Deaville is a great commuter bike. It handles exceptionally well in traffic. Shaft driven is a bonus, and is a very strong bike in a shunt.

Bad Points
Clunky gearbox is annoying but get the revs right and you can reduce this effect. The rear silencer could do with the chrome wrapping all the way round to save losing the silencer to rust, and the old models had no pertrol gauge.

General Comments
I have just ordered my 4th New Deaville and hope the new imporoved version holds out as well as the other 3. I commute from the medway towns to London every day throughout the year. The last bike didn't get a great deal of TLC, but just kept going. This motercycle is my preferred choice because of the low maintenence and solid build quality. The low points I have had 1st Deaville I had 2 accidents major damage to front and side had the bike rebuilt professionally and changed it at 68000 mile when the head gasket went.. the next one I had 1 accident and i dropped the bike changing the rear tyre. changed it at 58000 miles. My 3rd had 52000 before the driver turning right across me giving me no time to respond caused the insurance company to write it off. These motorcyles are worth their weight. Honda keep it up.
