It is a big "so what?" it happens all the time.
In 1977 the BMW R75/6 became the R80/7
In 1998 the VFR750 became the VFR800
The Gold Wing went from a GL1000 in 1975, to a GL1200 in 1984, to a GL1500 in 1988, to a GL1800 in 2001
and on it goes...
BMW R1100, R1150, R1200
KTM 950, 990, 1190
In 2015 you can probably watch the Honda 500 become a 550 just like the CB500 did in 1974. Wowzers!

You know the more I think about it....Why stop at 750? Why not 850? Is it a different classification that a 750?? I mean, Aprilia had the Mana 850 in a somewhat similar bike.
Give it a couple more years the CB500X will become the CB600X and then the CB700X and the circle of life is complete. By then the CB250 will have gone through the CB350 phase to compete with the Ninja 350 and then next year rounded up to the CB500 exactly where the CB500 was just a while ago.
Same thing happened with the Accord and the Civic. The Civic used to be tiny, CVCC days, and the Accord used to be compact. Then things crept up in size in the 90's the Accord became mid-sized now it's full sized. CVCC was sub compact and became Civic and became a little bigger, 1990s saw it become a full compact. 2000's is where we see the Fit take the place of where the Civic used to be.
How long before the Fit becomes an overbloated land yacht? And what sub compact models will replace it's former subcompact niche? I'm loathe to see what monstrosity the Accord becomes by then.
I wish they had called it an NC650.
It would sound so much better when we have to say, "It's really a 670".
I will be pissed cos it's going to affect resale value and parts availability, and a lousy way for early adopters like us who believed in Honda's NC platform. Then it's probably wise to wait 5 years before buying something fresh from Honda in future.
