Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CTX 700 N 2014

Although the CTX700N is a colourful bird, it is currently only available in black or white. And at a price for which other manufacturers cannot offer nearly as much technology, quality, rideability and fun. A really refreshing experiment - successful!

Extremely low fuel consumption

nimble, agile driving

automatic transmission

interesting driving dynamics.

Lack of half fairing

no pannier set as standard.
