Having ranked among the top ten bikes in Europe since its launch, and being no less successful in South Africa, the NC750X is clearly not just a big success for Honda but also a popular choice in the mid-size commuter market.
Wheels24 motorcycling expert, Dries van der Walt, experienced the new bike in Gauteng. Prices for the NC750X is R99 999 for the conventional version and R109 999 for the DCT machine.
Take a closer look at the upgrades Honda has made to its facelifted NC750X compared to its predecessor.
10 changes to look forward to:
The Dual Clutch Transmission version, which is not yet available locally but will definitely come to our market, receives a 3-level S mode, as well as other software upgrades in both MT (manual) and AT (automatic) riding modes.
