Honda NT700V Deauville
The Deauville’s development team set out to build on this popular
motorcycle’s proven strengths with a list of desired refinements gleaned
from rider feedback. Refinements included such basic improvements as expanded
carrying capacity and stronger performance, important fundamental steps
toward achieving a further evolution of the Deauville’s proven ‘Multi-Use’
concept.
Honda NT700V Deauville Features
New Piggyback-Style Dual Multi-Reflector Headlight
One of the first changes in the Deauville’s look to catch the eye
is its new dual multi-reflector headlight, which features a sharply tapered
piggyback design that positions its brilliant high beam directly over
its ever-on low beam under a single, compact clear-face flush-surface
lens.
New 2-Position Windscreen
The Deauville’s wide-coverage windscreen has also been enlarged
and improved with new mounting hardware that not only offers a 170mm change
in screen height, but also a change in screen angle.
New Instrument Panel Design
The new 20006 Deauville also features a more modern and attractive new
instrument panel, with an eye-catching four-dial façade integrating
new fuel and coolant temperature gauges around its larger rev counter
and speedometer dials.
Increased Carrying Capacity
The Deauville’s unique built-in pannier bags have been significantly
increased in size and carrying capacity. While maintaining their elegantly
integrated look, the left-side pannier was increased in volume from 24
to 27.4 litres, while the right-side bag was boosted in size from 19.5
to a full 26.7 litres, for an overall increase of fully 10.6 litres in
carrying volume.
Larger Displacement
In the interests of boosting the Deauville’s power output without
resorting to major modifications to the engine’s basic overall construction
figures, its cylinder bores and pistons were increased by 2mm (from 79
to 81mm) while stroke was left untouched, resulting in a 33cm3 increase
in total capacity, from 647 to 680cm3.
New PGM-FI Fuel Injection System
Like most of Honda’s finest road bikes, the new 2006 Deauville now
features one of Honda’s most advanced PGM-FI electronic fuel injection
systems for accurate fuel delivery, easy starting, highly responsive throttle
control and exceptionally low exhaust emissions.
New ABS Version
The new Deauville also offers the option of a separate new version equipped
with Honda’s remarkably smooth and efficient Antilock Brake System
(ABS) in addition to its standard equipped Combined Brake System. Like
the systems featured on several other Honda models, the Deauville ABS’s
compact and highly advanced ABS provides exceptionally smooth and confidence-inspiring
braking control in the most extreme braking conditions, where riders of
all skill levels need it most.
