Anybody seen one of these before, not bad for someone that's just entering the bike market and not licensed for the heavyweights.  ................................................................................ :wht11

A mate owned one, and used it as a daily commuter, and I did have a roadside chat with a chap somewhere in Victoria, who toured on his and had done several trips to Perth and back.  He found it to be very satisfactory tourer.

My friends, Keith and Ellen are touring the world "two-up" on a Honda TransAlp, which has the same engine.  See  http://www.rightwayround.net/  for their blog.

A good mini ST. The later the model the better, as a few refinements and slightly bigger engine. Barry had a couple so could comment better than me, as I only shifted one in a car park.

As nice as the Deauville is I'd like to have the readies to buy the "Silverwing" tourer listed a few ads below it.. Now that really would be an interesting bike to own.

My dad has been trying to convince me to get one for years.  He thinks the ST is too big for a girl.  He's just bought himself a 700cc Deauville, nice bike, but I'll keep the ST thanks

Based on the CX 650 and to look like a mini wing. There was an optional top case as well. I saw the 500 version when the turbo came into my possession.

Had a visit from a Mate and his purpose prepared DR650 who had very recently returned form an adventure ride up the Tanami and up into the Bungle Bungles...caught up with a bloke doing the all the same 4x4 dirt roads and tracks...on his Deauville  :thumbsup
