More to the ugly side of pretty. 07 sees a revisal of front fairing style, and has taken an almost Hornet approach to its upgraded reshape. Dash panel has been revised nicley, with four easy view dials indicating speed, temperature etc. The Deauvilles screen has increased in size and width, and now stands two waay adjustable in screen angle. To the front a “piggy back” light has been mounted, and was introduced initially on the 2006 model. It places an incredibly strong headlight over the low-beam, and works well whilst riding through hours after-dark.
Performance
Score:5/10
After its original capacity was increased from 650cc, to 700cc in 2006, the Deauville now makes an additional 20bhp over the old model. Its still pretty boring to ride, though the beauty with peace of mind steps to the fore, as the Deauville will go forever, and beyond. Its shaft-drive gearbox is incredibly smooth, with Honda opting to run a five, instead of six speed gearbox within the Deuville. Yank the throttle and it’l potter to 200kph, though hesitatingly and slowly at it.
Ride And Handling
Score:7/10
Standard 41mm fork setup is a little soft through tighter bends, though does cater to its touring duties extremely well. The Deauville’s rear shock is in fact preload adjustable, which we’d reccomend you adjust to suit your style. Fork angle is a little far back, and can result in a little odd front end feel. Its not the lightest of the bunch either t 236kg, and for a 700cc we’d been expecting a figure a lot less than that! Other wise stable in a straight line, though struggles through the bends.
Comfort
 Score:8/10
Finally its standard panniers have been made a tad bigger to boost its carry capacity and tourer appeal respectively. Its adjustble screen protects any headwinds nicely, as opposed to the slap on bubble screens of nowday superbikes, clearly there for decoration. Saddle design and seat position are clearly designed in mind of comfort, and despite being hideous to look at, its incredibly comfortable. Quality comes in comfort, and its high sales have clearly proven so.

+ Good

Comfortable, reliable and most definitely affordable.

- Bad

Its so ugly that it could model for death threats.
 

= Summary =

Not the prettiest cycle of the pack, but certainly a comfort contender. Sells like hotcakes, and ugly ones at that.
