  1. What model was it? HONDA DEAUVILLE NT650V TWIN v2


    When did you buy it and how much did it cost? JULY 2011 £1000


    Good points? very comfortable, responsive for a 650v twin. not bad mpg. plenty of storage. lots of weather protection. engines are all but indestructible.


    Bad points? heavy, and high seat, having mine lowered. with touring screen on you get a bit of side buffeting. with short screen on little protection from the elements.


    Would you get another? hmm, perhaps a newer 700, i think their are other makes out there that might be as good if not better (and lighter)


    Any other comments? i love it as my first big bike.

  2. you more likely to ride on the part of the road where cars don't so are more likely to get a puncture, prob how you got it

    that is true.

    anyway, got new Michelin tyre on.

    roughly how many miles is best on a new tyre before going back to usual driving habits (not that i'm a speeder)

  3. Do you have a gravel drive? Ours is quite old now and I'm forever finding crap that have been brought up from underneith. Even found a few barbed nails the other day, wouldn't be fun getting one of those in my tyre.

    If you have it will probably be worth checking it over.

    got a concrete drive, and the roads are quite new round us. not sure what is going on. no one else seems to be having problems near us and our car hasn't had a puncture for years (as he touches wood)

  4. well, i really don't believe this, a second puncture in a week.

    this time the slime is just oozing out, so bike is off to usual place i use for new tyre. (plus it is quite worn )

    fitter says it looks like bike has gone through a bunch of broken glass, quite a few surface cuts as well as a few deeper ones.

    can't say i remember as i try to avoid anything like that in the road.

  5. i use ultraseal which is very similar good stuff you will have to check what the speed rating the slime is .

    can't see anything mentioned on their website so i have emailed them asking about speed rating of slime.

    tyre is still fully inflated.

  6. well, not even been on the bike a week and picked up a rear puncture. wasn't a flat Tyre, but down about half.

    was near my riding school, so popped in to see if Brian could help.

    now funny thing was, when i got the 125, i bought something called slime, in case i got a puncture, never needed it, but as i was off down to Yorkshire last Sunday, i popped it into the backbox. how fortunate was i.

    so we took valve out, filled tyre with this slime stuff, put valve back in, blew Tyre up to recommended pressure, spun it a few times, then took nail out. was blowing a gale for about 20-30 seconds, then nothing. leak stopped.


    i've been out on last night, checked it this morning and pressure is fine.

    it also says it will repair future punctures and is active for 2 years.

    now it says it is a permanent fix. anyone had any dealings with this.

  7. I bought a givi e68 backrest to go on the e45 box on the deauville. my wife wants to try and see if she feels ok being a pillion (has back problems). but as it was used there is no template to use to aid fitting.

    anyone got any ideas how i can get the holes drilled without the template or does anyone know were i can find a template. i've Googled and been on the givi website, but no luck.
