The Honda NC750X is perhaps the most versatile bike in the company’s lineup. Take a nice performing 750cc parallel-twin engine and DCT transmission and then stuff them into a more road-oriented adventure chassis, and you end up with a machine that is just as happy doing the daily commute to work as it is exploring backroads on the weekends.
The liquid-cooled 745cc parallel twin has a single overhead cam with four valves per cylinder and a 270-degree firing order that replicates the thrum of a V-twin. The bike comes with Honda’s Selectable Torque Control that allows three levels of traction control, in addition to four selectable ride modes. The dual-clutch transmission (DCT) allows the rider to operate the motorcycle in multiple modes from fully automatic (with a variety of shift characteristics) or manually via the paddle shifters.

Using a tubular-steel diamond frame, the chassis has a 60.1-inch wheelbase. This DCT model weighs 493 pounds with a full tank of fuel. Seat height is 31.6 inches, while the riding position is upright and neutral for all-day comfort. Suspension is handled by a 41mm fork with 4.7 inches of travel at the front and preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear that offers 4.7 inches of travel. A single twin-piston caliper and 320mm disc handle braking up front, while a single-piston caliper and 240mm disc are used at the rear. ABS is standard.
For 2024, the NC750X DCT is available in a single configuration in Matte Nightshade Blue for $9,499.
