The Honda NC700 series was a family of motorcycles manufactured by Honda in 2012. The series was a new concept, and unlike conventional motorcycles, the NC700 was designed for commuters, beginner, and veteran riders.
In 2014, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda NC700X, a half-naked machine that handled city streets, highways, and even gravel roads, with a strong low-mid range of torque and excellent acceleration topped by a comfortable upright seating position.
Also, the bike featured a storage compartment placed in the fuel tank area, a long-travel suspension with extra ground clearance, a windshield, and an optional Honda Genuine Accessories luggage system that transformed the bike from a commuter to a long-distance tourer.
The bike was wrapped around a diamond-shaped steel-tube frame with a sturdy design that allowed just enough flexibility for smooth response, which resulted in a comfortable machine at cruising speeds and a sporty one on twisty backroads.
As for ergonomics, the bike offered a carefully shaped seat with a low seat height that provided an easy reach to the ground, and the handlebar was positioned in such a way that offered more space around the rider’s knees and arms for more movement.
In the power department, the 2014 Honda NC700X took its thrust from a 670cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid0cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system and delivered an output power of 51 hp at 6,250 rpm and 62 Nm (46 lb-ft) of torque at 4,750 rpm.
