In 2012, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda NC700XA, a bike that could tackle city streets, highways, and even gravel roads, with a strong low-mid range of torque and equal acceleration and with a comfortable upright seating position.

Also, the bike featured a storage compartment placed where a traditional fuel tank would be, a long-travel suspension with extra ground clearance topped by a standard Combined-ABS (C-ABS), a windshield, and an optional Honda Genuine Accessories luggage system that transformed the bike from a commuter to a long-distance tourer.

The bike was wrapped around a diamond-shaped steel-tube frame designed very sturdy and allowed just enough flexibility for smooth response, which resulted in a comfortable machine at cruising speeds and a sporty one on twisty backroads.

As for ergonomics, the bike offered a carefully shaped seat with a low seat height that provided an easy reach to the ground and the handlebar was positioned in such a way that offered more space around the rider’s knees and arms for more movement.

In the suspension department, the model packed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and a single monoshock absorber on the rear, while the braking performance was handled by a 320 mm disc with a three-piston caliper on the front and a 240 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear.

As for performance, the 2012 Honda NC700XA was powered by a 670cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 51 hp at 6,250 rpm and 62 Nm (46 lb-ft) of torque available at 4,750 rpm.
