Honda NT700V Deauville

The Honda Deauville, also designated the NT650V and NT700V, is a mid-range touring motorcycle manufactured and marketed by Honda over a fifteen-year production run (1998–2013) spanning three generations — and named after the French seaside resort. Across all three generations, the Deauville was known for its shaft-drive, liquid-cooled V-twin engine and extensive painted plastic bodywork with integrated panniers. The first generation Deauville (1998–2001) featured an engine capacity of 650 cc. The second generation (2002–2005) featured redesigned bodywork, enlarged panniers and numerous engineering modifications. The third generation (2006–2013) featured an engine capacity enlarged to 680 cc and was renamed the NT700V Deauville. Honda marketed the third generation in the US for model years 2010–2013, simply as the NT700V. With a history of designing bikes with integral storage — namely the Pacific Coast/PC800, ST1100, Gold Wing and ST1300 — Honda designed the Deauville/NT700V with two integral side panniers offering a 7-gallon/45-litre cargo capacity — connected via an open pass-through port to accommodate items up to 26" long.
