The 2009 Honda NT700V Deauville continued Honda's legacy in the sport touring segment, building on the practical and understated appeal of its NT650V predecessor. Positioned as a mid-range tourer, it aimed to offer comfortable long-distance travel without the bulk of larger touring machines. In its class, the Deauville found itself competing directly with models like the Kawasaki Versys 650 and the Suzuki V-Strom 650, offering a shaft-driven alternative to their chain-driven powerplants.
At the heart of the 2009 Deauville was a liquid-cooled 680.20 ccm (41.51 cubic inches) V-twin engine. This powerplant produced a respectable 64.77 HP (47.3 kW) and a healthy 66.20 Nm (6.8 kgf-m or 48.8 ft.lbs) of torque, peaking at 6500 RPM. These figures provided ample power for highway cruising and comfortable two-up riding. With a substantial wet weight of 236.0 kg (520.3 pounds), the Deauville was a stable machine, and its 19.70 litres (5.20 gallons) fuel tank offered an impressive touring range, minimizing fuel stops on longer journeys.
Riding the Deauville was characterized by its comfortable, upright riding position, typical of the sport touring category. The seat height, at 805 mm (31.7 inches) in its lowest adjustable setting, was accessible for a wide range of riders, contributing to its ease of handling despite its weight. Its integrated panniers and shaft drive further emphasized its touring credentials, providing practicality and low maintenance for extended trips. The bike's handling, while not track-focused like a pure sportbike, was predictable and reassuring, making it a confident companion on winding roads.
The 2009 Honda NT700V Deauville was designed for riders seeking a reliable, comfortable, and practical motorcycle for touring and daily commuting. Its emphasis on low maintenance, integrated storage, and comfortable ergonomics made it an excellent choice for those prioritizing hassle-free ownership and long-distance capability over raw performance. It was a motorcycle for the discerning rider who appreciated understated competence and Honda's reputation for dependability.
