Haven't seen this before: Too bad it is going to weigh too much. Eicma 2011 more info: http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news-new-bikes/milan-2012-honda-nc700x-and-nc700s-dct/19424.html


That is a beautiful bike!Haven't seen this before: Too bad it is going to weigh too much. Eicma 2011
I agree. If it weighed closer to 400 lbs wet - I might be interested. I don't like heavier bikes, no matter how much power they produce. But the claimed fuel-economy certainly hits the mark. It is supposed to be similar to our CBR250R. I will have to hold out to see the real-world fuel economy figures. Insurance and maintenance costs will likely be higher. As it stands - my CBR250R is in no threat of being replaced.Haven't seen this before: Too bad it is going to weigh too much. Eicma 2011
I'm still interested in this one vs the DL650. I like the fuel mileage potential and it just looks more fun. The cbr250r is the benchmark for fun, for me now. I like the helmet holder too, not crazy about the beak on the x, but the s looks better than the Suzuki.Honda NC700X | Ash On Bikes
First test of the new 700 twin!
As much as I love the CBR, I really miss the reserve power on the hwy. This looks like it could fill the bill. Apparently it is coming to Canada. Hum... Maybe I will go to the Toronto bike show in a couple of weeks.
I'm with you on the beak. It's the 'lets put a beak on it and call it an adventure bike syndrome'. They did the same thing with the Crosstour.I'm still interested in this one vs the DL650.

Looks like it has good wind protection. I doubt I will find anything that is more fun than the cbr250r and I really like the riding position. (I'm keeping the 250.) The S models have a similar riding position, but more upright and maybe more room.The floor boarded version has the best fairing.
There are rumours here in Thailand that Honda will release a Cbr400, probably a twin..coming in March (WHICH IS WHEN THE nc700S IS DUE IN THE uk)Not loving it. Honda needs to come out with a mid-range cbr 400 two cylinder to bridge the gap between the 250 and 600. I'll happily hop on the band wagon then. WAHOO if they do![]()

Hopefully find out at the end of the month at the Bangkok bike festival...
