Honda NC700

[edscoot]

I see Honda are talking about another NC700. I wonder if this will replace the Integra - I doubt they've sold many.

A less ugly Integra with good storage would be a good thing.

I think that looks more like a new DN-1. Honda has made a good move though in mainstreaming the dual clutch trans. This will bring more people into riding. The clutch is a major hang up for many people. And it also doesn't hurt when they have teamed it with one of the most fuel efficient engines put in a motorcycle lately.

So my last tank I rode fast roads and town riding too. Mix of normal riding and also opening her up for more fun and I got 75 mpg for my S. This is what I can expect for my riding style and I dont believe anyone who says they are geting 90 mpg+. Bullshit if you ask me and they either not worked out fuel useage right or are pushing the bike around half the time!

From the article edscoot posted Saturday:

styling cues reminiscent of the ill-fated Honda DN-01 cruiser and the 1989 Honda PC800 Pacific Coast, would definitely be sold in America

PC800 reminiscent? YES PLEASE!!! I miss my PC800 to this day. The Silverwing's nice, but it's no PC800.

I am looking forward to the next NC related bikes that will be released. The NCS i have is a lovely bike and i have really bonded well with it. After much discussion we have decided to leave the UK for USA in summer 2015 rather than sooner. That will give Honda sometime to get a few more variants of the NC out the door. Not everyone gets on with the 6500 rev limit but for many it suits their riding style.

This bike has a rev limit? I wouldn't know

Ah yes i saw this over at nc forum and made a wise ass comment about the silencer being too quiet

Where did you get the mount for the camera?

[spongebobnopants]

lol... I got home and immediately started looking up truck horns and louder mufflers. The camera was mounted to my Givi engine guards.

Wow, that was a really fast stop for wet. I wouldn't have been able to stop that quick with the PCX in the rain -- I would have dodged instead.

I'm getting 70mpg (imperial) from my KTM 690 Enduro (690cc not 654cc) - just for comparison.

[TC3]

Thats good mpg ed and you should be happy with that :-)

Are you not missing onboard storage? It is not something I could do without.

[edscoot]

I'm definitely missing the storage. I suppose I'm getting used to it though.

I've got some soft panniers arriving tomorrow so it'll be a bit more practical. I always wear a back pack if I'm going for a long ride, to carry waterproofs etc.

[TC3]

Maybe a kriega us10 on back seat for waterproofs would work for you. I have the us10 and fits well on my rear seat and will hold enough. Looks nice too. Not a fan of backpacks myself

[spongebobnopants]

Cases mounted. The Ogio backpack is a work in progress, but their is a loop at the top that helps me mount it to the fake tank.

[sendler2112]

Are you on Fuelly?

[maddiedog]

Cases mounted.

That is beautiful... I am so jealous...

[gn2]

I am so jealous...

You shouldn't be, you've got a Silver Wing.

[maddiedog]

The Silverwing's fun, but it doesn't have gears and gets 48mpg. It's also about 75lbs heavier, and much more sluggish with handling. I'd trade the Silverwing for an NC700, but my wife likes the seat on the Silverwing better.
