A Brief History & My Thoughts

I don’t recall what first attracted me to this bike. I do remember that Honda NC700X’s didn’t get many glowing reviews, except from folks who actual owned one of the bikes!

I purchased this bike in July of 2020. The young man who owned it purchased it new from Honda when he returned from his stint in the armed forces.

It had 5000 miles on the clock and was in fairly good condition. It just needed some minor adjustments and some new tires and a new chain.
