“Simply The Best”
Written on: 10/07/2012
This bike is the most underated bike that I know. I have had my 2005 Deauville for 2 years. I commute 120 miles a day, 5 days a week and I ride all year round. The only time he let me down was due to the fuel pump going on him.Come rain, wind, shine and snow, the Deauville has just been superb and does everything that i ask of him - whether it's my daily commute, weekend runs out with my wife (she loves the comfort) and short tour trips over to Holland and France with the wife on the back....

“It gets you there”
Written on: 03/07/2012 by majormartin (1 review written)
I bought a 2000 model a year ago. I own 2 other bikes so my deauville is often left in the garage for several weeks at a time. I go to it turn the key press the button and it fires up. I then ride it for up to 300 miles in a day in comfort. Park it up, repeat again a few weeks later. This is on a bike with 93000 mls on the clock. what more could you ask of a bike? Some say they're boring. I often hit the footrests on the road when cornering. They are not boring, they are a functional... (read more)

“On and On”
Written on: 08/06/2012
I bought a 2004 model from new. At first I had it serviced where I purchased it (no problems), only to find out about 4 years later the dealer stopped being a Honda specialist. Then I used a local Honda garage - where it generally came out worse after a service than it went in. Around 50K it was breaking down and the Honda garage could only guess the fault. A passing motorcyclist recommended a local back street garage. They immediately recognised the problem (fuel pump issue) fixed it, and... (read more)

“Great all rounder, highly recommended”
Written on: 11/05/2012 by setasoso (4 reviews written)
My Deauville NT700 is a 2007 model I bought second hand last year. Its narrower and less bulky than later models, so I've had no problems weaving through city and motoway traffic. On the open road the throttle leaves most cars lagging behind, providing more than enough acceleration to join motoways and overtake. A mid sized Givi top box and the small panniers gives loads of storage for a commuter. Negative points? The visor is not adjustable - you can unmount it, turn it 180 degrees, and... (read more)

“65bhp bike that weighs 236kg dry!”
Written on: 28/04/2012 by london2wheels (3 reviews written)
With oil and petrol you are talking wrong side of a quarter ton. 65bhp at crank (claimed) through a drive shaft (rather than chain) means something like 50bhp at back wheel. 5 gears mean no close ratio box here. So if you have had the misfortune of spending time on this beast (it really is a big lump of a bike) you will note: a) SLOW bike b) Big, wide body, seating position too far over rear wheel and handling is top heavy. So you can’t overtake in traffic and you cant overtake on the open... (read more)

Written on: 19/10/2011 by danfandan
I have owned many bikes over too many years and rate the Dullsville right up there with the very best for practicality. Handles well goes moderately fast brilliant fuel consumption. I have had a radiator leak a clutch cable snap and the fuel pump fail, bypass the fuel pump and rely on gravity feed, good for at least 18 miles into reserve that means 200 mile tank range. Love the bike. (read more)

I have had my NT650V (Deauville) from new (13 years this Aug), after putting 114k miles on my XJ600 I was fed up of replacing, tensioning and cleaning chains so I had a list of requirements which this bike matched to a T. Not the most exciting bike but a very comfortable ride (albeit a bit more vibration then the straight 4 of the Yamaha). I originally bought for commuting but since leaving London (after putting 64k on it) I only use it for touring now. If you are used to an unfaired bike... (read more)

I used mine for regular commuting until the kids got old enough for me to be involved in the school run. However, once every year I take off for a week of solo touring. The Deauville is absolutely ideal for this. I ride on my own, not with a group, so I want a bike that is utterly reliable in all weathers, has a decent range, can hold my kit (with top-box) and which I can pick up on my own if I drop it.

Written on: 11/02/2011
I was looking for a bike that I could use to commute but would also be an ideal touring bike come the summer months. After reading the reviews of other riders I decided that the Deauville could be the bike for me. It is great for commuting, comfortable seating position, just the right size and weight, nimble enough to negotiate the congested roads but having lots of carrying capacity for luggage.
The let down for me is when touring, the amount of vibration through the handle bars, it is so...

Bought this Deauville on ebay for £620! Whilst it was a bit of a shed in some respects £300 has seen an absolute transformation.
Solid, reliable, economical, quicker than you might think.
I came to this from a Firestorm and ride it as if it was a sports-bike, sounds silly, but in typical Honda style it just gets on with the job.

Bought this bike as a comfy all rounder after my wrists began to give in from too many clip-on handlebars.
It is a 2001 650, which has proved extremely reliable to commute on, and even raised a few smiles on the odd Sunday ride - provided you are happy wallowing around corners and lacking the power to overtake fast family saloons... It is no sportsbike, but then it doesn't pertain to be. Instead I can (and have) done long trips fully loaded, with a gargantuan top box and expanded tankbag...

The Honda Deauville tourer is value for money, Comfort, trustworthy, practicality. Honda built a machine for nearly every rider. There are lots of options on the market, just keep looking for one that suits your needs. If you really go looking for faults, you will find them on any bike. This is a bike for a rider who knows what he or she wants from a bike. Enough said. If you want more poke, try the 700 or a Pan Euro. (read more)

It's definitely the Toyota Camry of the motorbike world.
Huge boot space, uber reliable, genuine 350 km around town tank range, 400 km range on open road with load and some squirt factor possible (but getting close to... pain; where's the reserve tap?).
The theory was this was the logical reincarnation of a much loved CX500 Custom that gave 12 years loyal service with 140,000 kilometers and the usual consumerable expenses. Tyres, pipes, batteries, pads, oil, coolant, filter, etc.

Bought a 2007 model, which I used for commuting and ran up 10,000 miles in the first year. It did the job competently with little fuss. It's narrow enough to filter, but big enough to have some presence on the road and the engine pulls well from pretty low revs. When overtaking though, you have to be aware that it runs out of puff sooner than you expect and be ready to change up. With the Honda top box it has massive carrying capacity.

Commuting over 100-miles a day on the 1999 NT650V was enough to drive me to a Pan European but what a great motorcycle all the same!
The ride, handling, luggage capacity, and longevity are fabulous. I had the bike serviced at 67,000 (shortly after I had bought it) and it flew through a mightily thorough inspection.
The bike has not been covered / garaged for many of its 9-years but aside some corrosion around fasteners and a touch to the foot brake the cosmetics have faired really well. ...

I find the Deauville very heavy and can easily be dropped when stationary. Bad engine vibration at high speed which causes discomfort to hands.

The bike was bought new and I have travelled 4000km to date. Due to the relatively high weight for the engine size, petrol consumption seems high in city driving although for touring quite good.

Failing fuel pump problems are well documented on a number of Deauville websites. Owners who have fitted capacitors report no extended life of the standard fit Honda fuel pump. Facet pumps are the recommended replacement for longer life (and they are cheaper) -- you'll need a Facet posiflow fuel pump 60104 with 2 x 10mm straight couplings and 2 metres of black fuel pipe, and it's a documented DIY job (follow the links on www.deauvilleuk.org). Parts are available from any number of internet sites.

Fuel pump info very helpful. I now have a further problem that is in fact a failed CDI module. The front cylinder no longer fires, and there is no power getting to the relay that drives the fuel pump, which indicates a failed CDI. This must be a Tuesday after a long weekend bike. I am now the proud owner of two different brands of bikes with failed CDI modules, and the other is a Kawasaki. It's no surprise to learn that both bikes CDI's are built by the same manufacturer in Japan.

The Deauville engine is an old design dating back to 1982 and earlier, and as such does not benefit from synthecis oils, a good mineral oil and frequent changes (every 4000 miles) is better for engine life. Piston slap is unheard of on any motorbike built since the 1980s and what he is hearing is the echo created by the fairing which amplifies all engine sounds. Fuel pumps are best replaced with the cheaper Facet pump.

I traded in a 2000 Triumph Sprint ST for a low mileage 2001 Honda NT650V Deauville which I chose in preference to the 2002 model as I didn't want the linked brakes of the newer bike. I've added a MRA Vario Touring screen, wind deflectors and heated grips (for winter riding), a fenda extenda to the front mudguard, a 42 litre Kappa topbox for added capacity and a power socket (to recharge my mobile). The result is an easy to ride motorcycle that keeps off the worst of the weather and does... (read more)

The Honda Deauville is a viable choice for motorcyclists requiring a bike with motorway and urban capabilities wrapped with a three quarter fairing in an attractive profiled shape. Not a bike for those who wish to flaunt their testosterone levels to the public or impress the ladies, but more in tune with those experienced 30/40 somethings who appreciate open spaces, having to compete with urban congestion or simply balmy summer Sundays cruising the country lanes with a sense of relaxed...

You really have missed the point of this bike. It is NOT a superbike. It is a touring bike that I can easily do 700 Kim's in a day. The panniers hold a lot, the bike will overtake really well and I can keep up with my friends on their Ducatis and BMWs on almost all riding sessions. It is not effected by cross winds, does 5 l/100kms, has a range of 350 Kim's on a tank. Great bike for touring.
If you want a sports bike don't get a Deauville, if you want long distance touring without the weight of an ST 1300A or Goldwing, the this is a really great bike!
