Whats in a name?

[Rocker66]

I see that the car that the NC engine is taken from (or at least half of it) is known in the States as the Honda Fit. In the UK this car is known as the Honda Jazz. Could this be because we have the "tuned" version ?

LOL.

FYI, Jazz is the name in Spain as well

Thank you I should probably have said Europe instead of UK

Well, ahem, don't we US'ers have four more horsepower on the NC because of Europe's staged licensing system having a break at 47 hp? That would make our NC's Jazzier than your un-Fit models.

I'm the king of power! My licens registration papers states that I got 52 HP on my Swedish NC700X. I feel the need for speed! ;-)

Touché!

Edit: Just to clarify that I have the higher bike license, so I didn't buy the bike because the new license system, but here at Spain the only model with 52 hp is the Integra and, by Rocker66 words, I'm not a mod

No way. The 47 hp restricted version has a bottleneck in the intake and a modified ECU. I have asked my dealer and the bottleneck can't be removed, you need an intake duct from the unrestricted version, and the ECU can't be reprogramed, you need a new HISS-ECU and a new pair of keys. A receipt of about $ 1,500 is too much for just 5 hp

Anyway I have to see that bottleneck on my own as soon as I have the opportunity
