The Honda NC700 series to be discontinued.

[wozza]

The Honda NC700 series of machines is to be replaced next year with the new NC750 series. So the Integra is going to be a 750. The information apparently comes from the ABI list.

Yeah saw that a while ago, gonna give it more of a sports feel, more power n torque, it can only be a good thing Dunno if the Integra will get the upgrade or not though.

[wozza]

Well the Integra is on the same list so I don't why not.

More power can only mean a good thing.

Less vibration and more mpg much more important than power for me.

Posted that yonks ago...though I did get it from Visordown which isn't the most reliable source!

Honda's thinking is presumably now that they've the new CB500s for A2 licence holders, there is no need for the NC series to meet A2 licence requirements. So capacity is rising and presumably power will as will, though by how much we will have to wait and see!

There are rumours that Honda will also announce something along the lines of the NC engine but with bigger capacity engines available with DCT. What size these might be I don't know. I've seen reports of a 1300 engine but I find that hard to believe as Honda have only recently developed the VFR V-4 1200 engine, and whoever heard of a 1300cc bike engine being designed with economy in mind????

Yep it was mentioned on Visordown sometime ago. But actually having the bikes listed on the insurance industry's ABI list actually confirms the impending arrival of the new machines.

I see. So the next question is - are there any other bikes/scoots on the list that we aren't aware of??? eg smaller BMW scoots. Though presumably a brand brand new model will be unveiled at shows first and only then make it to the ABI list when its about to go on sale.

Ah that I don't know. The info came from a member of the NC forum. Err.. I suppose I should have posted his user name as he deserves the credit for the info.
