Honda NC700X

[kmjoe]

The NC700X crossover offers the long-travel suspension, agility and commanding riding position of an off-road bike in an overall package with high standards of stability, braking and engine performance. It promises a fun, engaging riding experience together with the practicality and ease of use that make it a machine eminently suitable for daily commuting. At the heart of the NC700X is a purpose-built engine and transmission package. The liquid-cooled, in-line 2-cylinder 670ccengine is a lightweight and compact unit with a low centre of gravity. It offers a very usable power delivery with strong levels of torque at low to medium rpm combined with low exhaust gas emissions and outstanding fuel economy (78.8mpg WMTC mode. Tested in D-Mode). On the NC700X there is the option to enjoy this new engine with the second generation of Honda’s innovative Dual Clutch Transmission, offering both manual gear shifting and fully automatic functionality – a suitably advanced and versatile core for an innovative new motorcycle. The NC700X has been designed with a secure internal storage space large enough to accommodate a full-face helmet, located where you would typically find the fuel tanks. It is also offered with Honda’s Combined Anti-Lock Braking System (C-ABS) as an option. It offers the practicality of a commuter with easy handling in a crossover styling.

Feedback from the NCX/S owners:

"Fuel efficient (31km/L), sufficient power for light touring, comfortable upright position, safe and stable big bike with ABS, cheap on maintenance, cool enduro look, convenient front compartment, smooth engine, doesn't get hot even at long low speed cruising."

"For people considering buying the NC700 series, DCT should be a big appeal if you are looking for an easy time on the bike.
The low CG and well-balanced design already makes this bike easy for beginners and people returning to biking after a long time. DCT just makes it even more noob-proof. LOL.
Once you had the DCT in your sights, I guess its only a matter of choice between the XD or the Integra. Or if you are willing to wait that long, the CTX700.
Given my weak ankle, I'm done with the whole gear-shifting thing on a bike.
This new DCT 2.0 is just perfect for my commuting needs."

"I did my sums. The savings in petrol bills would probably pay off 1/2 the bike's purchase price over the next 10 years. Ride it another 10 years and the bike's practically free. LOL!"

"Which bike in the market now, can ride comfortably at 105km/hr on expressways and still fetch 30km/L... Almost next to none vibrations on the handle bars... You can hear your gf talking to you while riding... Store a helmet and many other things even without a box... Super low maintainence... Comfortable riding position, seats a bit slippery la... But okay la... Budget front forks and rear suspensions... But they do work well... Single disc brakes... I don't ride fast enough to use 2... "

"This bike (at least the DCT model) is especially tuned for people like me:

wants to ride class 2 bikes
don't tour. sg rider.
commute. (workhorse to and from work)
want good fuel consumption to be an affordable mode of transport
need enough power to get out of sticky situations. dont need racing kinda acceleration, nor touring kinda top end.
difficulty with stiff clutches due to some old injuries.
appreciate the choice of auto or "manual"
wants a bike that simply looks GOOD.

basically, to sum it up, it is the PERFECT bike for my current needs.

coming from fz6, this bike is not as "cool" and "aggressive", but i dont have to force myself to get on it when i go for short trips to buy coffee, unlike the fz6. the fz6 is like taking the ferrari to go to the market which is 5km away from your house. damn sian. the nc7 is like hopping into a toyota wish for the same purpose."

Hi bro kmjoe,

It will be good to include the NC700S and NC700 integra in this discussion as all three bikes are similar except for the cosmetic changes.Based on Boon Siew's website, they placed these 3 bikes model as available. Had went down to their showroom which is situated on the 2nd level of their main car showroom. Their location is at 370 Ubi road 3. So far non of the 3 bikes are in town yet.

[newblood]

hi guys i bought the NC700s for 15.2K machine price.. its from boon siew btw.. cz asp and loois quote me a hell lot of diff prices..

the nc 700s series will be in town in late april.. where else the X series will be in town july or a later part of the year...

i usually visit the international nc700 forum.

what i love this bike for is the incredible milage and interval servicing...

yea... its weird that the agent's price is cheaper than the dealers... isnt it suppose to be another way around? anyway how do pre ordering works? do we need to give them a deposit first and do boon siew do installments and how is their interest rate?

im not sure hows boon siew interest thing goes about..

i only made a deposit reservation of 2K.. bt do take note when i made reservation in march they only left 2 units of the S series.. which is silver and white color.. im lucky enough to at least reserved the silver color.. for now i think boon siew only left 1 more unit which is in white.. another info that they gave me.. most of the units will be ditributed to other bike shop has already pre ordered for their selling puprposes.. most of the units will come in late april... while the X series wont be in singapore till a later date.. another S series shipment arival will be in july..thats wad according to them..

the reason y i went to boon siew honda agent.. cz of the price diff bike shop gave me..

I think Looi not took the bike from Boon Siew but imported themselves. Currently. Looi have NC700X and Crosstourer (1200cc) on display.
I would like to know the top speed of the NC700X, The FC can be a good tourer but might be lacking in top ;(

top end yeps true its a lacking.. the rpm only end at 8 .. so cant expect much for this bike..
bt for touring wise.. who needs that to speed..

top seed indicate in the video is 193kmh..
bt all dis while when i go touring i always been at the speed 140-170.. slow and steady.. when im rushing 180 might be a very nice speed and probably after that whole bike will be shaking..
heres the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufa08...ature=youtu.be


heres the link of the fuel comsumption review.. so far this bike is freaking fuel saver for a 14L bike.. from wad info i gather its in fact true 14L can last u 380-420km full tanx.. better than my fazer 6 or even my spark darn..
http://www.fuelly.com/driver/serfiesa/nc700x

and heres another video showing about that fake tanx... see how many stuff u can squueze inside.. these would be very useful for those who wana bring in extra ciggartes from malaysia or even piles of burger ramly w/o being caught.. juz cover it with a tankbra or tank bag.. and u can go smoothly through customs( fingers croosed still though) hee..

ok gd bro... do share wif us the price...

[beary]

bro..there's a NC700X in Looi's now...

should be self-imported one la...

didn't ask for the price though...

checked the Crosstourer instead...28K machine price!

But the NC700X looks slick...but a little too slick for my size... (size = relatively big)

haha! The feeling of sitting on the NC feels good..but the front makes me feel like i'm riding a small bike...probably becuase of the small meter and narrow fairing...

I think Mr. Lee say 18K, but I can't remember OTR or not.. sorry...

And the model is without DCT, so can be 1-2k cheaper.

[anodise57]

Xtourer as wat beary mentioned.

the 700cc fella turns off with small tank... only 14.7.

was quoted 19.8k.. for X series... OTR probably because of my age group.. 25 yr old..

14.1L to be exact bt the mileage it can travel is awesome..
and the mileage servicing manual it much better..

so far i dont like the X patter dats y ordered the S series..

[kmjoe]

loois otr price is 19k, only left black... there wont be any dct model in singapore if i have not mistaken... just bought the last piece from boon siew, machine price only 15k+ sad to say they are only left with black =( i want silver... dont have to worry about just 14L cox its fuel efficient, can go 25-27 km/l... the windshield gotta wait for them to import the touring ones, the stock one isnt really a windshield at all, lol...

Here is the real experience consumption data from real users
http://www.fuelly.com/motorcycle/honda/nc700x

You can switch to km/liter on the left side on top

[MR BIKER]

This is what I dont understand Honda. They created special bikes albeit the DN-01 and this NC 700 and yet they put small ity bity tanks. true nc can go 400km but why dont just put 19 litre like the deauville??

i think if they were to put the the 19 Litres tank.. probably there wont be any more fake tank compartment.. bt still if there 19L imagine how much futher the bike can go.. bt still i think the weight will also play apart..

the fake tank is indeed useful for some reason.. hee.

most of the write up at that site is nt that reliable.. nt being bias though.. NC700s written as 21.1MPG darn.. probably that guy whacked his bike during.. the no of fuel up refill also matters when talking about the user reliability.

only 1 user from that site which i believe is trustworthy as she wrote about her extensive account.. how she rode and what kind of speed mostly she traveled..

http://www.fuelly.com/driver/serfiesa/nc700x

u can read her account also and other user here:

much more comprehensive detail u can through here.. Fuel compsumption, mods and bots.. manual guide, accessories and etc.

u have to register though.

[xunknownz]

btw will the DCT be coming to sg? i m quite keen to have a "automatic" bike but no scooter for me. haha

[kmjoe]

boon siew said they didnt bring any DCT models... might have to wait for next shipment which might take some time... currently the vfr1200 has the dct

Well, Beary you are right. I went down to Boon Siew when I read on their website that all 3 models of the NC700 are available.
Surprisingly, there were no display of the mentioned models at all. No sales executive were there except for a young lady who handed me a name card and took down my Hp number and ensure me that the sale person by the name of " Jaxxx " will call me.

It has been almost a week, and I don't even receive any calls from the reputable " Boon Siew "...... What a BIG JOKE.
I wrote in to them inquiring about the availability, price and stock arrival before going down and yes, they said that they received it. Guess what I received from my mail?......Hahaha...another big JOKE. They sent me the NC700 catalogue and that is not I wanted. Although I own quite a number of Honda bikes before, I had never sent it to them for repairs or servicing, so unable to comment on that.

So in the end, I do agree with or without them is totally not important at all.

[kmjoe]

anyone have idea where H&B accessories can be found? looking for rack, top box, crash bar and mainstand for NC700x

[newblood]

anyone have idea where H&B accessories can be found? looking for rack, top box, crash bar and mainstand for NC700x

it can be found at http://www.m-technik.com.sg/ they are the distributor for hepco becker stuff and other brand also..

i already spoken to them and they are brining items for the X series.. and he mentionedd abt the S eries also..

[kmjoe]

great... keep us updated of the price and its availability! thks man... wad u gona get?

[newblood]

great... keep us updated of the price and its availability! thks man... wad u gona get?

I will only be needing this few items.. top box and rack, engine crash bar/slider or anything to protect the engine. centre stand and radiator guard.

minors would be front fender extender, touring windshield, rear hugger and 12V socket.

in fact if u google for NC700x accesoories. they are a lot of them at the website as the X series already sold way back in jan for europe etc..

try this website

http://japan.webike.de/categories/1000_1190.html

http://www.hepco-and-becker-luggage....5#tabselection

http://www.pyramid-plastics.co.uk/ca...492be6435d08ff

and try google dis brands, ermax and R&G, and also Skidmarx Hugger.

[kmjoe]

yup i am aware of other country has them but the hassle n price conversion seems to be painful =( i think ur few items is really alot already haha... but they are the essential ones which i'll need too...

[newblood]

its rather quiet here...

[kmjoe]

wait till it gets on the road... pictures, reviews and infos will come... btw heard the x model is slightly more powerful than the s model...

[beary]

Hee!!!!
