The Honda NC750X has built a reputation as one of the most sensible yet genuinely satisfying all rounders on sale, a crossover styled with adventure bike proportions but tuned first and foremost for real world commuting, touring and everything a typical week of riding throws at it, year after year.
Its 745cc parallel twin, with a 77mm by 80mm bore and stroke and a 10.7 to 1 compression ratio, uses a single overhead camshaft and eight valves, producing 43.1kW at 6,750rpm and a strong, accessible 69Nm of torque at just 4,750rpm, giving genuinely flexible drive that rarely needs a downshift in traffic. Riders can choose a conventional six speed manual gearbox or Honda’s smooth shifting DCT automatic transmission, and the engine itself is canted forward with the cylinder head mounted low, keeping mass centralised and freeing up space where a conventional fuel tank would normally sit.
That layout underpins a chassis that feels planted and unintimidating. A 41mm telescopic fork with 120mm of stroke and a Pro-Link monoshock offering 120mm of travel keep the ride settled, while a 296mm floating double disc with an axial twin piston caliper up front and a 240mm wavy disc at the rear sharpen stopping power. Tyres sized 120/70 and 160/60 on 17 inch wheels balance stability with easy manoeuvring, and the wheelbase runs to 1,525mm on the manual bike or 1,535mm with DCT fitted. At 802mm, the seat height suits riders of most heights, and depending on transmission the NC750X weighs either 216kg or 226kg.
Everyday practicality is where it truly shines: a 5 inch TFT screen brings Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity, and that clever space freed up by the low mounted engine becomes a 23 litre storage compartment large enough to swallow a full face helmet, a genuine everyday party trick few rivals can match. Rugged Durabio bodywork and a 14.1 litre tank complete a package built for daily use. It suits riders who want one genuinely capable, low maintenance motorcycle for commuting and weekend touring alike.
