Luxury Tourer or Upscale Commuter? Why Not Both?

Quick Ride: Honda CBR1000RR C-ABS



Introducing the Honda NT700V, newly arrived here in the U.S., and the perfect combination of cross-town commuter and cross-country capability that's been wowing Europeans for over a decade. Think of it this way: If the ST1300 had a little brother, it would be the NT700V. Plenty nimble to eat up around-town urban assaults, and plenty plush and feature-packed for the luxurious long haul.

From this machine's potent, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 680cc V-twin, disc brakes (with optional ABS) and bulletproof shaft drive to its integrated saddlebags and weather-cheating adjustable windscreen and bodywork, the NT700V rolls out as the ultimate light-weight tourer/commuter for both entry-level and seasoned riders alike. In other words, the best of both worlds.

Fuel Injection
Electronic Fuel Injection delivers precise air/fuel mixture for optimal performance in all conditions, while ensuring quick, hassle-free starts in the cold or at high altitudes.

Integrated Saddlebags
Aerodynamic, lockable and roomy enough for groceries or overnight gear, the NT700V's built-in saddlebags notch up the convenience factor on this bike big time.

It's a Honda. And really, That's All You'll Ever Need to Know.
Power, handling, around-town and all-day comfort—the Honda NT700V has excelled at all three of these for years, delivering a commuting/touring machine that's second to none. Honda's tireless pursuit of technological innovation is a huge reason why, and our pursuit of the perfect riding experience is never-ending. From the potent 680cc, fuel-injected V-twin and optional ABS to the adjustable touring windscreen and integrated saddlebags that give the NT700V its cross-town and cross-country capability, this is a motorcycle that's the best of its breed. This is a Honda.
