Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginner to intermediate riders thanks to its automatic-style transmission and relaxed, low-stress power delivery.
PurposeIt's built as a comfortable, low-maintenance all-rounder for relaxed street riding rather than outright performance or adventure use.
Rider FitIts low seat height, shaft drive, and twist-and-go automatic transmission make it very approachable for riders of smaller stature or those wanting minimal physical effort.
CharacterThe DN-01 has a quirky, cruiser-meets-sportbike personality, favoring smooth, torque-driven cruising over aggressive performance.
Not Ideal ForIt's not for riders seeking high-speed thrills, sharp cornering agility, or any off-road capability.

2011 Honda DN-01 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 691mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Honda DN-01, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
