Honda NC700X

[pete]

Has anyone seen one yet... not due here for another few months..
I like the sound of the "DCT" 6 speed auto version they say
is a real auto..not a CVT belt system..

I haven't seen one in person yet, but I like them. Looks like a super practical bike to me and if I was in the market for a new bike I'd give them a look. They were discussed in a thread before, have a peek

Yes, I saw the NC700X at the local Honda dealership. It's a nice motorcycle. I think Honda is really heading in a good direction with the NC700X and CRF250L motorcycles.

I find the motor quite interesting...
670cc foward leaning parallel twin
only 46hp with a 6500rpm red line
& bulk torque...
they use the same crank configeration as a
Vee twin... sound like a vee...

I want to ride one....

For 2014 they have a few new models coming out based on the 700cc powerplant as well, the CTX's

I saw and heard one about a month ago driving by. It sounds like a maxi-scooter, like a Burgman or Majesty or something along those lines. Quiet, smooth and bland....

I think it is a good motorcycle and priced to sell. I bet it will be a pleasure to own for those who buy it, and proivide good reliable service and excellent economy.

It interests me, however, not in the least. :wink:

Lol
I was gonna say that Doc's a big fan but I left it out!

[FastDoc]

I love the bike, for other people. :wink:

now it's funny you should say that...
as theres 3 versions of it..
NC700S road bike.
NC700X Adventure.
NC700 maxi scooter. :roll:
One base platform that can be 3 totaly diffrent bikes..
thats most lightly why they are such a good prise...

still want to ride one... yer know the been there done that sort of thing..

That would explain it. A Maxi-scooter in different guises. This commonality of parts would indeed help keep prices down.

I was all set to by one. I narrowed my choices down to the NC and a Kawasaki Versys. I did my homework and decided that I was going to get the NC based on the same reason I bought my XF200; ride it back and forth to work and get 70 mpg. But now I was going to be able to go on the highway and have some wind protection.

A dealer 60 miles from me was selling one for $6399 ($600 below MSRP)for a 2012 model. They also had a 2012 Versys. A local dealer was selling the same NC for $6999 so driving 120 extra miles to save 600 bucks was a no brainer. By the time I got there the NC was sold and they were not sure when they could get another. I sat and on both bikes and they fit me the same so know I have a new Versys sitting in my garage.

Now if it would stop raining I could ride the dang thing.

found this pic on line... the NC700X scubs up quite well
with a few mods...

Don't you wish! I make a mistake, and should have congratulated David, instead of you, Pete. I corrected my original post. :P
