What's the 'LH' stand for?

[Windwalker]

Just a morbid curiosity question. When I bought my bike, it was listed as a NC 700XLH. I am still not sure what the 'LH' means. If a NC 700XD means dual clutch, it seems like something like a NC 700XM ('M' for manual) would make sense. LH means ....

Light Honda?
Little Help?
Let's Hurry?

Probably the version they sell here in the states!
I bet the folks in the UK that drive on the wrong side of the road get the RH version, LOL.

Did the 2017's get the LED Headlight?

 

[Windwalker]

Yes, the 2017 has the LED headlight. I think Honda switched to the LED headlight and tail light in 2016.

Pretty sure as far model ID

L is the designation CA or 50 state emissions vs 49 state emissions
J will 2018. They skip I because it looks like 1
H is the 2017
G is the 2016
F is the 2015

No. The US versions still have halogen headlight but LED tail light for 2016-2017.
The 2018 750 coming to the US may have LED front and rear.

Stands for Less Horsepower (due to emissions control)

I think it's the other way around. The 700's sold in the USA have the 38.1 KW engine (51 hp). I was under the impression that UK versions of the 700 were rated at 35 KW (47 hp) due to A2 licensing restrictions.

Yes I think most were 47bhp but some versions had the full 51. So much for that (lightly applied) theory
