Many small tweaks should add up to a new feel

The Honda NC750X will soldier on into a next generation of production with some minor updates to its electronics and running gear.
From Honda’s PR, it doesn’t appear the fuel-efficient, low-revving parallel twin engine sees many changes. They tell us “effortless acceleration is on tap from the torquey 745cc twin-cylinder engine, equipped with Throttle By Wire, three default riding modes and Three-Level Honda Selectable Torque Control. The popular Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) option also gets a low-speed response upgrade… ” Translation: It’s the same old thing, basically. Honda says it has an A2-legal version, detuned so beginners can legally ride it in Europe. This version of the bike can also be re-tuned to make full power, and vice versa.

However, there are other note-worthy updates. There’s a new set of dual disc brakes up front, with 296 mm rotors mated to two-piston calipers. There are new wheels, too.
It appears the suspension is unchanged, and so is the rest of the chassis. The NC750X still comes with a forward storage compartment where the fuel tank would be on most motorcycles, with 23-liter capacity, enough room for most moto helmets, or even enough for a weekend of light touring.
This machine is aimed at the commuter market, but it makes a good tourer too, if you don’t mind the low-revving engine. Photo: Honda
The zappy parts receive a couple of tweaks, though. There’s an all-new LED headlight, and Honda also installed an updated TFT display, with 5-inch screen. The new TFT is controlled through a four-way backlit switch that sits on the left handlebar. It can connect to your phone with the Honda RoadSync system, allowing you to control navigation or music playback and other functions.
Finally, Honda says it’s using its new “Durabio” material, a so-called “bio based engineering plastic,” on some versions of the NC750X. This is supposedly a more sustainable product to use than the plastics used in older bodywork.
We would expect to see the new Honda NC750X in the US market in coming months, but probably not in Canada, based on the thin lineup they’re importing to the Great White North at this point.
