Interesting new one from Honda

Low power, medium displacement, heavy (considering the power), high efficiency.  At a Honda price point, it will only be sold in countries with tiered licensing.

What the duck ... the helmet fits in where ...

It wont sell at all in the US, unless they offered it with the estended bling arm.

cool.

would say this engine would be good swap candidate for teh gs. BUT no, i take that back it is no better than the gs' except for the " im to lazy to shift" option. but when riding i prefer the manual. for 2 1 panic stops.

Only has 47hp. That's less than the GS with nearly 200cc smaller engine.

GS500 - 1989 technology, 487cc and 52hp
NC700s - 2011 technology, 670cc and 47hp

Think I'll stick to my GS - should be a sheetload cheaper too  Though I do like the look of it.

aye. even tho its weak, powerwise, hell its a scooter engine. if power levels could be boosted, ti would make a NICE swap candidate Eh?
