Specs are a bit dreary
50ish bhp and 215kg only a single brake up front.

[cb1rocket]

would someone be along the lines of saying that's a bit under powered for a 700cc?!

[hornetmike]

that is a lot of cc's for a 50bhp

And a 6200rpm redline.

It's a strange one....

Nice glove box type compartment where the fuel tank usually is though

Meh for that sort of wedge I'd be looking for a CBF500 or 600.

This is the new Honda multi-purpose design. They also make scooters with the same chassis. So essentially you are riding an uncomfortable scooter!

Commuter heaven though, agreed.

There's an article on the NC700 in the latest edition of Bike magazine.

Probably worth a read if your thinking of buying one.

The horsepower isn't stupidly low for 700cc especially @ 6K RPM, whats the torque like though as thats going to be more useful on this. A Bandit 1200 is ~100bhp so ~50bhp for a 700 putting out high MPG isn't that bad...

For a commuter, and if you were racking up a lot of miles in a mix of urban/A roads i reckon it'd be alright.

Buy a CB500 for a grand, OK the MPG isn't as good but the four grand you save can buy a lot of petrol.

See previous discussion thread.

[chris-red]

I will say this, it looks good, but would need to be 40+ kilos lighter and about 10-15bhp more before I wanted one.

Actually, quick note, that's the NC700X up top.

NC700X:

The NC700S loses the "adventure" plastics and the ride height is slightly lower:

If they offer a 0% finance deal on this bike then it'd definitely be at the top of my shopping list, I'm currently looking around for something new to replace my ER5 (for an 80 mile a day commute), the NC700S could be a perfect workhorse for me.

My BMW K75 has about the same fuel economy and weight but 15 horsepower more. And a shaft drive. And higher spec brakes. And another cylinder.....

Spend 1500 quid and get a tidy late model K75.

I'm struggling to see the appeal personally, the power output doesn't bother me in the slightest but I'd be a lot keener if it wasn't so heavy. At least the Beemer gives you more dignity and presence with it's weight.

Put it alongside an SV650 and ER6 and I just don't see the point in it for anything other than meeting the A2 restriction right out of the crate and especially not as a day to day commuter bike for someone with a full license.
