Honda’s midsize adventure-touring machine—long heralded as the ultimate commuting motorcycle—boasts sporty performance combined with practical, utilitarian attributes. The NC750X has a 745cc engine with two-level Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and an available automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT).
Since it was originally introduced in 2012 as a 700, the model has been noted for its “crossover” styling; comfortable, upright riding position; long-travel suspension and innovative, under-seat fuel cell, with a faux tank housing a storage compartment. The bike’s NC moniker stands for New Concept, and its torque-laden parallel-twin engine borrows from Honda’s automotive technology, with a long-stroke design leading to a low rev ceiling and excellent fuel efficiency.
