Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CTX 700 N 2015

The modern interpretation of a Honda Shadow that rides much better to boot. The CTX700N is a colourful bird, a truly exceptional and unique motorbike concept for individualists. Other manufacturers do not offer nearly as much technology, quality, rideability and fun in one vehicle. The fact that the CTX is not fish and not fowl is both positive and negative, I have taken it to my heart.

unique

mix of different concepts

DCT for little money

comfortable, easy to ride

low seat

Sloping position moderate

hardly any wind protection
