It has an appeal but not enough to make me want to buy it. Given the specs and the marketing blurb it sounds more like a 'crossover' vehicle for those who can't decide between a scooter, sports bike, or a cruiser.

There might be one or two still about at that price, which starts to make the DN01, if not look good, at least be value for money. regards, CrazyCam

Well, at it's weight and power, sports bike it ain't. The low seat, feet forward, and almost tiller steering, could make it a cruiser, although, according to a couple of mates who have them, they do go round corners surprisingly well. At 10.5, ride away, they do seem to be a better deal than say a Vespa 300, for the same money, and heaps better than the big scooters like the Bergman. I'd have been tempted if it hadn't been for the feet forward business, which doesn't suit by stuffed back. The fact that it is ugly as sin doesn't really matter 'cos you don't see it when you are on it. ;-) regards, CrazyCam
