Honda NC 700 X DCT ABS
2014
2014
The 2014 Honda NC700X DCT ABS offered a practical and approachable option in the adventure touring category. Introduced as part of Honda's "New Concept" lineup, the NC700X aimed for fuel efficiency and ease of use, setting it apart from more aggressive adventure bikes. Riders considering the NC700X might also have looked at the Kawasaki Versys 650, a similar machine focused on versatility and accessible power.
At the heart of the NC700X lies a 670.0 ccm (40.88 cubic inches) parallel-twin engine, designed for strong low-to-midrange torque. This engine configuration contributes to its fuel efficiency. The inclusion of Honda's Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) eliminates the need for a clutch lever, offering riders the choice of automatic or manual gear changes. While not a powerhouse, the engine provides ample power for commuting and touring. The fuel tank capacity of 14.00 litres (3.70 US gallons) allows for decent range between fill-ups.
The NC700X prioritizes rider comfort and practicality. The upright riding position promotes all-day comfort, making it suitable for longer journeys. The seat height is 831 mm (32.7 inches), which may be manageable for riders of average height. The optional ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) provides an added layer of safety, especially in challenging road conditions. The storage compartment where the fuel tank would normally be located is a unique and useful feature, adding to its touring capabilities.
The 2014 Honda NC700X DCT ABS appeals to riders seeking a fuel-efficient, easy-to-ride, and practical motorcycle. Its DCT transmission makes it a user-friendly option for both new and experienced riders. While it may not offer the raw power or off-road capability of some adventure bikes, its focus on fuel economy, comfort, and unique features makes it a solid choice for commuting, touring, and everyday riding.
✅ Why buy this bike?
• Exceptional fuel economy due to the long-stroke engine design; achieving upwards of 70 mpg is common. • DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) offers smooth, seamless gear changes in automatic mode, reducing rider fatigue. • Integrated storage compartment where the fuel tank usually sits provides practical space for a helmet or other gear. • Low center of gravity enhances stability and makes the bike feel planted, especially at low speeds. • ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) provides added safety, preventing wheel lockup during emergency braking situations. • Comfortable upright riding position makes it suitable for commuting and longer distance touring.⚠️ Things to consider
• Engine lacks top-end power and can feel underpowered for aggressive riding or highway passing at high speeds. • DCT can feel hesitant or slow to react in certain situations, requiring manual override for optimal control. • Suspension is basic and can feel harsh over rough roads, limiting comfort on longer rides or off-pavement. • Limited ground clearance can be an issue when cornering aggressively or encountering obstacles. • The engine's sound is uninspiring and can be perceived as bland by some riders.Rule of thumb: under 125cc / 15HP → A1, under 47HP → A2, above → A.
