Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 2012, 2013
In 2013, Honda released the NC700S, a bike that incorporated many design and mechanical elements from various motorcycle types, such as the riding position, which was similar to that of the standard bikes.
The fuel tank was placed under the seat, so in the traditional fuel tank location was a decent storage compartment large enough for a helmet and a pair of gloves. With a naked bike look, the model had minimal styling that emphasized its urban usability.
It featured an innovative two-cylinder engine, developed for responsive power and strong torque in a compact package, and met the demands of environmental concerns at the time by being very fuel efficient with a range of nearly 400 km (249 miles).
The bike was ready for any road with its internal storage compartment, protective fairing, windscreen, and commanding riding position but also was a fun and easy-to-handle machine thanks to its combination of steel diamond-shaped frame, cast aluminum wheels, and accomplished chassis geometry.
The bike was available either with a six-speed manual transmission or with the Honda's second-generation Dual Clutch Transmission, offering smooth gear changes in three driving modes.
As for power, the 2013 Honda NC700S was powered by a 670cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 51 hp at 6,250 rpm and 62 Nm (46 lb-ft) of torque available at 4,750 rpm.
