Imagine yourself a dealer with a bunch of unsalable 2013s on your hands. Or dealing with irate customers who feel gypped because you didn't tell them they could have waited a short while and had a bigger engine.

Up here, the 2013 NC's are $1,000.00 less than the 2012's were, and any left over 2012's are discounted $500.00 dollars. :(

I can't help but fell slightly miffed at this, but oh well. Such is life. I've enjoyed my NC more since I bought it than a grand is worth to me, if I would have had to wait all that time before getting one.



I am happy with my NC being a 700 (ie closer to a 650, really...) rather than it being a 750 (which could potentially be closer to an 800...) I got rid of my 800cc bike because I didn't want an 800cc bike. I'll never understand the never ending displacement creep to more and more and more, myself.

It is a big "so what?" it happens all the time.

In 1977 the BMW R75/6 became the R80/7
In 1998 the VFR750 became the VFR800
The Gold Wing went from a GL1000 in 1975, to a GL1200 in 1984, to a GL1500 in 1988, to a GL1800 in 2001

and on it goes...

BMW R1100, R1150, R1200
KTM 950, 990, 1190

In 2015 you can probably watch the Honda 500 become a 550 just like the CB500 did in 1974. Wowzers!

Yep you're absolutely right.

The Kawasaki S2 triple 350 became the S3 400.
The Yamaha RD350 became the RD400.
The Kawasaki Ninja 250 evolves to the Ninja 300.
The Honda Reflex 250 becomes the Forza 300
The Honda PCX125 became the PCX150
The Kawasaki KLX125 became the KLX140
The Honda ST1100 is reborn as the ST1300.

. . and on, and on.

Do you have to have different licenses for bikes with different engine sizes in Europe or something? Its one size fits all here in the US.

To answer your question - yes you do. It's what happens when you let a bunch of socialists run things. You'd be astounded and saddened at how many younger riders in this country I have arguments with on sportbike forums who think this is a good thing.

Yes Dan, basically you are right.
I passed my bike test in 1977 so I am an old timer...but younger guys and girls may be restricted to smaller bikes

I don't get it either because a 17 yo on a CBR or Ninja 250 is in more danger than they are on a VTX1800 in my opinion.

Is not exactly about engine size but horse power. There is a licence for bikes with less than 35 kw, and another licence for more power.
 
Hmmm... I was just going to post a thread where I asked what would be a good second bike to the NC700X. My only minor wish with it is a little more getup and go. Maybe now just a trade-in would scratch that itch.
Honda has hinted a new sports tourer is coming and I wondered if it was going to be based on the NC700 or Goldwing platforms(like the F6B and F6C). Hmmm....
 
They should just change the name and leave the bore alone. After all the name seems to have no relationship to cc's anyway. Maybe if you just call it a 750 it will seem more powerful. That's the beauty of marketing.
 
I just hope they give it a larger fuel tank, or at least an option! Hear that Honda!!!! I'm keeping my 670 though.
 
Right... Coming from the guy who can't stop modding his bikes to make them "a little bit more better"... which I guess is a way to "Making them the best of everything" you have...
Doh! I thought I had you there...

You probably do. I don't claim mental health as a personal characteristic - just a goal.

Hmmm. The article doesn't say anything about the CTX's or the Integra.
