During the week it’s an awesome commuter. On the weekend it lets you go exploring in the country, or carve up a twisty canyon road. Light, nimble, and with an engine that offers a generous helping of useable torque, it’s all wrapped up in a package that’s big enough for longer rides, but not a handful in tight traffic or in a parking lot. And to sweeten the deal, it’s even available in two versions: one model features a conventional six-speed, manual-clutch transmission, while a second version is available with the latest generation of Honda®’s exclusive automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT).InnovationsLow-Profile WindscreenThe NC700X® offers just the right amount of bodywork—enough to offer good wind protection, but not so much that the bike gets heavy or wide.LCD Instrument PanelFull digital LCD instrumentation includes digital speedometer, digital bar-type tachometer, clock, low-fuel gauge and two trip meters.
