• Honda nt700, mid size shaftie. Few come up for sale locally, High miles but just after a commuter and occasional mid distance tourer. Think they are all of 60hp from a 700cc v twin, but proper pillion provision on a not 1200cc bike appeals.
    Anyone had one? I imagine they are like a heavier slower nc700

  • NT700? That's a Deuville?

    I have an XL700 (transalp) which is essentially a chain drive version (same Haynes manual)
    It's a fine commuter/ first bike. I did 10k/year for 3 years on it without fault.

    Likes a hill, good torque (v twin innit) but sluggish on the move and not very punchy (40-70 is nothing to be excited about)
    I've accidentally nudged 3 figures* on a quiet stretch of wide motorway, so it can move, but you won't get there before a sports bike.

    *Your honour, this is just internet bravado and nothing more.

    Edit: not related to the NC700, iirc that's a flat twin, essentially a Honda Jazz engine cut in half.
