2017 Honda NC700X

On weekdays the NC700X is an awesome commuter. On weekends it’s a completely different animal. An explorer in the country and a devoted carver on twisty canyon roads. All made possible by the NC700X’s 670cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine offering a generous helping of useable torque, and the seating position for whatever adventure you have in mind.

The bike offers more than endless possibilities. It offers practically endless features. It sports a large windscreen for better weather protection, tough-looking bodywork, and a pentagonal muffler for a tighter look and a sound you’re bound to love. The luggage compartment holds a full 22 liters, and comes with a “utility rail” and a storage hook inside the lid. Available in two versions—the conventional six-speed, manual-clutch transmission remains one choice, while a second version is available with Honda’s exclusive automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT). Even the tires are easy to service, thanks to “L”-shaped valve stems. All of these features add up to the most versatile option around, the NC700X.
