Review

The 2018 Honda CTX700N is a comfortable, approachable motorcycle designed for riders seeking an easy-to-handle and fuel-efficient machine. Part of the CTX (Comfort Technology eXperience) line, it aimed to bridge the gap between cruiser and standard motorcycle styles. Its direct competitors included machines like the Kawasaki Vulcan S, which offered a similar blend of accessibility and relaxed riding. The CTX700N distinguishes itself with its parallel-twin engine and comfortable riding position.

At the heart of the CTX700N lies a 670.0 ccm (40.88 cubic inches) parallel-twin engine. This powerplant produces a manageable 48.0 HP (35.0 kW) at 6250 RPM, making it suitable for less experienced riders. The engine's torque output is also noteworthy, generating 60.0 Nm (6.1 kgf-m or 44.3 ft.lbs) at a relatively low 4750 RPM. This provides ample low-end grunt for easy acceleration and confident maneuvering. The fuel tank capacity is 12.40 litres (3.28 US gallons), offering a decent range for commuting and weekend rides.

The Honda CTX700N prioritizes rider comfort with its low seat height of 720 mm (28.3 inches). This makes it easy for riders of varying heights to reach the ground comfortably, boosting confidence at stops and during slow-speed maneuvers. The upright riding position further enhances comfort, reducing strain on the back and wrists. The suspension is tuned for a smooth ride, effectively absorbing bumps and imperfections on the road. This allows for comfortable longer rides and easy handling.

The 2018 Honda CTX700N is aimed at riders who value ease of use, fuel efficiency, and a comfortable riding experience. It's a suitable motorcycle for new riders, commuters, or anyone looking for a relaxed and approachable machine. While not a powerhouse in terms of raw power, it offers a balanced and enjoyable ride with an attractive price point. It is a solid option for those seeking a practical and user-friendly motorcycle.
