Honda NTV650 (1988 - 1997)
The Honda NTV650, also known as Deauville, is an affordable naked bike with a reliable engine and tons of character. The motorcycle has a pretty standard look that some younger folks might not like that much. However, if you don’t mind the old-school 80s design and outdated technology, you will fall in love with this bike.
Thanks to its good stability and lots of torque, the bike is super-fun to ride. There are some vibrations and the exhaust is loud, but these attributes add to the character of the bike. The NTV650 was designed for riding around town, but is comfortable enough even for longer trips.
In terms of equipment, the Honda NTV650 is pretty bare bones. It doesn’t come with a fancy screen or ABS, but you will be able to find all sorts of aftermarket parts for it.
So, if you are looking for a cheap, bulletproof motorcycle that can also be used as a winter bike, then the Honda NTV650 might be a good option for you.
