they are smaller that you think.. very good with people with duck
disease

they are a glorified scooter, all the disadvantages of a scooter
combined with all the disadvantages of a motorcycle

I only know of one and the rider couldn't handle a lowered GSR600

but seem to handle the DN

if it means you can stop being grumpy behind a keyboard and start
riding again, then I would say they are a good thing

not my cuppa tea thou

Those blokes did buy at the bottom of the market, and for 10.5, rave
about how good the beastie is.

The poor buggers that bought at 17 or 18, OTOH, could be quite justified
in being grumpy. I do hope they enjoy riding the thing.

<shrug> Who knows, in five or ten years time they may have become
collectors' items.

I initially looked at the DN01 when I had an attack of gout in my left
foot, and couldn't actually change gear (at least, upwards) on a normal
motorbike without suffering agony, but the combination of the high
(then) price and feet forward thing stopped me from even test riding it.

It has a super low seat, and carries much of it's weight fairly low
down, so it's quite easy to pick up off its side stand, which might
appeal to some folk.

CrazyCam
