The Honda NC700 series was a family of motorcycles made by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer since 2012. The bike was a new concept, and unlike conventional bikes, it was mostly designed for commuters, and new, or veteran riders.
Also, the commuter bike incorporated many design and mechanical elements from various motorcycle types, such as the riding position, which was similar to that of the standard bikes. The fuel tank was placed under the seat, so in the traditional fuel tank location was a decent storage compartment large enough for a helmet and a pair of gloves.
With one thing in mind, and that was to offer a motorcycle that was fun to ride and user-friendly, Honda delivered the NC700SA, a bike that offered the practicality of a commuter with the style of a naked machine and sharp mid-range handling and performance.
The bike was wrapped around a diamond-shaped steel-tube frame designed very sturdy and allowed just enough flexibility for smooth response, which resulted in a comfortable machine at cruising speeds and a sporty one on twisty backroads.
For suspension, the model packed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and a single monoshock absorber on the rear, while the braking performance was handled by a 320 mm disc with a three-piston caliper on the front and a 240 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear.
As for power, the 2012 Honda NC700SA had its soul in a 670cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 51 hp with maximum strength at 6,250 rpm and 62 Nm (46 lb-ft) of torque available at 4,750 rpm.
