Honda NT 1000 V
This photomontage aims to illustrate a possible new Honda for 2020. The Japanese manufacturer could propose a road more accessible to all points of view than the famous Goldwing to its catalog next year. The return of the Deauville? of the Pan European but with an engine derived from that of the Africa Twin CRF 1000 DCT? Do you dream? that's good, we too ...
From a very reliable source, we learned that Honda worked on a motorcycle very different from the Africa Twin while taking over its engine. In addition, the mechanical base, the 998cc inline twin, in its dual clutch DCT version, would receive a final shaft and cardan drive. This last information concerning the final transmission has been confirmed to us afterwards. This lays the foundation for a potential novelty ...
Honda NT 1000 V: The return of a pragmatic road, lower saddle, less heavy than the more than 1200 cm3, less expensive too ... great!
If our sources are good, Honda should propose a new interpretation of the famous Deauville, except that it should not bear this name, for reasons of rights of use. It could be called NT 1000 V or can be Silver Wing 1000 in memory, not the maxi scooter, but the road of the 80s that cubed 650 cm3 by means of a V-twin housed in a transverse position, as in Moto Guzzi. This road of the line of the CX 500 has enjoyed an honorable success, but not as much as the Deauville 650/700 in Europe.
The return of a more reasonable road, more accessible at all levels (handling, driving, price) would be very, very, very good for the market. Practitioners, who are getting older, and who like GTs, sometimes give up these bikes because of their weight. Everyday users, who love GTs, find that they do not have to do with their more than 100 horses in everyday life ... and finally, it would be an opportunity to have a real GT, and not a trail GT-isée, for a price more reasonable than the big GT which sells at least 17 299 € for the Yamaha FJR 1300 A (basic).
In addition, the new Honda range has seen many of its roads disappear in recent times, because of pollution standards: Deauville 700, ST 1300 Pan European, CBF 1000 F, and who knows, tomorrow the VFR 800 F? Many Honda customers are expecting a return of a standard road to the catalog to enrich the range alongside the majestic GoldWing, so expensive, so imposing, so superlative in the end.
The potential NT 1000 V Deauville would use the twin engine block of the Africa Twin DCT version and with a gimbal. It would include an adjustable bubble or electric, fashionable electronics, built-in suitcases that we hope can be accommodated (a helmet on each side), a saddle less than 800 mm, 95 horses so, and a weight of 260 kg fully loaded, either between the Africa Twin DCT (242 kg) and the Yamaha FJR 1300 A (289 kg). And the price ? difficult to make less expensive than Africa Twin DCT or Adventure Sports, so between 15 000 and 16 500 euros ...
