New Honda NC700S and NC700X Revealed – Efficient, Practical and Fun

Motorcycledaily.com - We showed you the scooter-like Integra, and now Honda has revealed two motorcycles featuring the same, new 670 cc, 8-valve, parallel twin engine.

The NC700S Naked will be available in Europe with both a six-speed manual gearbox and an optional dual clutch transmission.  The engine is rated at 48 hp, and is designed to provide excellent fuel mileage and strong low-end torque.


Both the Naked and the NC700X (pictured below) share this engine and a steel trellis frame.  Both have a conventional fork and Pro-Link rear shock, 17″ wheels and 320mm single front disc brake.

Both bikes locate the fuel tank under the seat and feature a huge storage bin (large enough to hold a helmet) in the location of the traditional gas tank.

The NC700X is distinguished by unique styling, more upright riding position, taller seat height and slightly longer suspension travel.

Although both bikes will be available soon in European markets, it does not appear that either model will be available in the U.S. for the 2012 model year.
