Specialization may be fine for something like golf clubs, but we think great motorcycles should be able to do it all. Case in point: The 2021 Honda NC750X. This is a bike is for motorcyclists who appreciate both versatility and virtuosity in their adventure machines. This year, we’ve given this model some big improvements. More power. A larger integrated storage area. Lighter weight, and a lower seat height. Plus some huge technologic upgrades like throttle by wire, selectable riding modes, new instruments, a new frame, upgraded bodywork, and standard ABS. At its heart, the twin-cylinder engine produces a broad torque curve as well, making it a joy to ride. And you can choose from two transmissions: a conventional manual-clutch six-speed, or Honda’s revolutionary automatic DCT. Either way, this latest NC750X is going to be the perfect one-bike choice for the rider who wants to do it all.

Features may include:

TECHNOLOGY

Honda SELECTABLE TORQUE CONTROL (HSTC)

With Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) you can choose a level which allows some rear-wheel spin—on gravel or dirt for instance—or pick a second level which reduces wheel spin, particularly on slippery roads. It’s a great feature that helps make the NC750X even more versatile. (Available on DCT model only.)

CONVENIENCE

INTEGRATED STORAGE COMPARTMENT

The 2021 NC750X offers a larger 23-liter utility compartment that’s big enough to hold most dual-sport full-face helmets with a visor, and then some. Secure and convenient, you'll use it every time you ride.

PERFORMANCE

745cc PARALLEL-TWIN ENGINE

With its cylinders tipped 62° forward for lower center of gravity, the NC750X's engine is a big step forward in modern powerplant design. The two-cylinder format produces tons of low- and mid-range torque, and the 270°-phase crank and uniaxial primary balancer make it smooth, too. And for 2021, we’ve boosted the NC750X’s horsepower, and bumped up the redline by 600 RPM!
