Without posting a "let me google that for you" link it's a little hard to know how to be helpful here Pete.

It's a Honda 700cc twin, there's a number of varients, there's a wikipedia page.

Would you like to throw us a clue about what you want to know, or would you like everyone to quote one random thing about the NC700 until we get bored?

It has two wheels, one of the variants also has a way of switching between Manual and Auto gear shifts, I looked at one a while ago to replace my SV

One of the variants is going to "replace" the TransAlp. They are (I think) supposed to conform to the new licence restrictions. (It only has 50bhp so it can be restricted)

Engine concept is aimed squarely at economy, combustion system is essentially a carry over from the Jazz engine. On the Fuelly website, owners are getting genuine 75+mpg.

I test rode a 700X DCT, the dual clutch "auto" version and really liked the engine and transmission, rather too much wind exposure for my liking but I've been spoilt with faired bikes.

I've ridden the manual and the automatic. But I wouldn't buy one.
