Honda is trying to make motorcycling history by using the same platform to develop different kinds of bikes, just like many carmakers do.
Three models should be built with it, and one of them is the NC700S, currently on display at the 2011 EICMA.
This bike is basically a small naked equipped with the same 48 hp 670 cc parallel twin engine we have already seen on the Integra model, which was designed to provide excellent fuel mileage and strong low-end torque.
The quite peculiar positioning of the engine within the steel trellis frame made it possible to fit a helmet comparrtment in place of the fuel tank as the petrol now goes under the saddle, like in a scooter.
The bike also uses a Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), 17″ wheels and 320mm single front disc brake.
