A couple of new Honda N700s

Post by MrGrumpy »

A bit off topic, but we do take an increase in this model range....

Not quite sure of the point of these variations to be honest, as they already have a naked one, and the half faired one doesn't seem to be much different from the N700X but uglier!! I presume they have the fuel-tank helmet storage space....or do they?

it seems to be a feet forward model, which would suit my dodgy knees, not too much shiny bling like most cruisers, price will be very important, now you can get a 700 s for just over 5 grand, the integra is 7 and a half grand, two and a half grand extra for a bit of tuppaware and a 'gizmo gearbox', doesnt impress me, if this new model is priced realistically it might be a good buy.

The point is that these are for the US market where the standard NC range is not on sale.

Getting at the engine for servicing looks like a nightmare with all those frame tubes and stuff everywhere.

Not really as bad as it looks, once the radiator is out the way the cam cover is easily accessible and it doesn't need doing very often.

Pretty sure it has hydraulic tappets too! Nice touch.
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'! :lol:

Yep but will be launched in the USA first.
Ideal for the USA, pullback bars, forward pegs and a lumpy pile of shit motor.
