Good honest video review. I am looking for one for next year for my 12km commute to work basically because of the rising gas prices.

I've got a Deauville (that's now naked up front) one of - if not the best bike I've ever owned! It just makes such a great all weather all rounder, wether you want a comfortable bumble or a quick whip round the lanes, it's an easy forgiving bike for beginners and just as fun for experienced riders when you find the bend you "shouldn't" be able to take that quick or low on such a heavy bike - granted its only about 50hp but that V twin channels all its torque and hp at the bottom to mid of the rev range so between 0-80mph will give pretty good chase to most mid class sports bikes as they don't really start to produce there insane power until about 80mph or the higher ends of the rev range - by which point your either absolutely breaking the law or running out of road. The engine is that well balanced in the frame you tend not to notice being airbourne from hump back bridges until after you touch down and being shaft driven the rear end is also pretty predictable in the event you break the traction as it tends to always try and kick to the left. Stops pretty quickly too. That all said though, because of the bikes I like, most of my 15 years of riding experience is on late 80's early 90's front heavy, bad braking wobbly framed sports touring bikes.

One of the best bikes i've ever had. Loved by dispatch riders everywhere. Perfect urban bike, quick, narrow, reliable. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work. PA. Fazer's got a chain !!! 😊

Nice...Shaft operated is very good. It already looks reliable and easy maintenance. I own a GS 500 E one of the easiest bike, and it seems very similar. Keep it forever mate!

177cm = 5foot 8inches 170KMh = 105MPh Nice and simple review. I've kinda fallen in love with the Honda NT650v Deauville..... and as their the same price as a 125cc here in the UK......well... anyone would be mad not to buy one.

Mam taką tylko czerwoną w oryginale prawdopodobnie jeden z pierwszych egzemplarzy na Europę😉

Thank you! This helps a lot :)

Thanks for this video!!!

Thank you for this, I like watching it when I can't ride it :-D

One of the best beginner bikes.

The US version of this bike is the Honda Hawk NT650 ( GT647 Type I ) which I have and will never sell it once you own one and play with it you can never let it go. Too bad you sold yours and later on I am sure your gonna regret it .

Hi Bas 77 and thanks for the review. I've been thinking about getting one of these instead of a 4 cylinder bike like the bandit or the Fazer. When you talk about the cramped riding position, do you mean the low seat forces your knees to bend too much? I'm 178 cm with legs that are average or slightly below average length. i want a bike that's comfortable at legal speeds with good mid-range power. Would an NTV fit the bill?

Kudos from Ukraine!

My own just now 130.000 KM !

Thanks for the review Bas! You told us that the bike is too small for tall people. What’s your own length if I may ask?

I have a question, is the deuville workshop manual the same as this one?

je engels is pittig goed voor een nederlander. Leuke review!

Hi Bas, ik heb de mogelijkheid om er eentje te kopen voor maar €100. Motorisch is die nog helemaal in orde alleen wat schade aan de kappen, knipperlichten en andere schoonheids mankementjes. Hij staat zelfs op 25kw dus kan er met mijn code 80 gelijk op als ik die gehaald heb. Nog tips als aankoper om op te letten? Gave video, thanks.

Your bike is a 600. The NTV grew to 650cc in 1993 when Honda dropped the 'Revere' tag. The 650 has conventional chrome handlebars, whereas your earlier 600 has clip-ons. Hope that helps.

how the hell did you get that for 500 lol. I am looking at 1k plus where i live, maybe i need bargain hard. Congrats!!!!!

One can react now!

Meine hat Problemlose 77 ooo km auf dem Tacho ✌

hey bas. ik heb er ook een maar die heb ik gecustomized. ik rei al 11 jaar .. wat is je volgee motor

Looks like a very old Honda. I had a Honda Hawk 650 from 1989, looked exactly the same.

I have One to Sell Cheap to You, its Complete only ignition Switch Missing. X

if you say this is fast bike than fzr 600 be superfast ...

This bike will set u back 2200€ in Denmark for a bike of 1990 😑
