2025 Honda NC750X: IN THE BOX THINKING.
Introducing the 2025 Honda NC750X…
Looking for a versatile, all-round motorcycle? It’s right here. The long-legged, twin-cylinder NC750X does commuting, touring and everything else in between. And it’s been updated. The rugged styling is sharper, led by a redesigned LED headlight and a new 5-inch TFT screen features seamless Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity. Dual discs now brake the front wheel for improved braking performance, while sustainable, coloured Durabio has been used in the bodywork. The NC750X also hides its secret genius; 23L of integral storage space, enough for a full-face adventure helmet. This isn’t just outside of the box thinking. It’s box in the bike thinking.
Also breaking cover at EICMA this year is the refreshed and updated NC750X. In addition to sharper new design lines, the NC750X gains more braking power thanks to dual front brake discs, more comfort from a redesigned seat and more practicality from a new TFT display with Honda RoadSync connectivity. The optional Dual Clutch Transmission gearbox offers an even smoother ride especially at low speeds. It is also the first motorcycle to to use coloured Durabio for its main colour parts (on the Earth Ivy Ash Green and Earth Black colours).
One of Europe’s favourite twin-cylinder all-rounders, the NC750X – complete with its ‘signature’ 23L internal storage – receives a host of detail updates led by refreshed styling and revised LED headlight. A new five-inch TFT display allows smartphone connectivity via Honda RoadSync through a new intuitive and backlit four-way toggle switch on the left handlebar. Front braking is now taken care of by dual 296mm discs and two-piston calipers and the wheels are also a lightweight new design. Specification includes Showa 41mm SBDV telescopic forks and Pro-Link rear suspension and, as before, effortless acceleration is on tap from the torquey 745cc twin-cylinder engine, equipped with Throttle By Wire, three default riding modes and Three-Level Honda Selectable Torque Control. Looking toward enhanced sustainability the NC750X is also the first Honda to use coloured Durabio in the manufacture of two of the four crisp new 2025 colours.
Since its introduction (as the NC700X) in 2012, the NC750X has enjoyed consistent popularity throughout Europe. Reasons for the success are several: a ground-breaking, torque-laden, fuel-sipping twin-cylinder engine, a relaxed, roomy riding position with wide handlebars and comfortable seat, compliant suspension and distinctive adventure-inspired styling all play their part.
Other draws come in the shape of the novel storage compartment (where the fuel tank would normally be), which can hold a full-face helmet.
Viewed as a whole, the NC750X’s qualities combine to create a motorcycle which functions superbly for all types of riding: commuting, touring and simply for pleasure – it has proved a motorcycle with compelling all-round appeal.
Honda has taken care to continuously evolve the NC750X’s successful (and unique) formula, with several upgrades over the years. For 2014 it gained a performance boost from the addition of 75cc to its engine capacity, going from 670 to 745cc; for 2016 a new more adventurous aesthetic, new instruments and LED lighting were added. For 2018 two-level Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and an A2-friendly 35kW version arrived.
In 2021 Honda built on the NC750X’s core strengths of practicality, do-it-all comfort and handling composure, by improving all three. At the same time, it gained more spirited engine performance, with an injection of extra torque and top-end zap, and a raised redline. It was also 6kg lighter, with 30mm lower seat height. The addition of Throttle By Wire, electronic riding modes and revisions to HSTC were the final polish of an extremely complete package.
For 2025 the NC750X continues its development path with increased use of sustainable materials in its manufacture, new styling, more technology. It remains, as ever, a true Honda all-rounder.
Sharp new bodywork, with a minimalist style, defines the silhouette and builds in a protective screen and revised LED headlight design. A new five-inch full colour TFT screen features revised menus and colourings, designed for improved readability on bright days. The unit also features Honda RoadSync connectivity, which is managed by a new, easy-to-use four-way left hand backlit toggle switch. This allows the rider to now enjoy on-screen, turn-by-turn navigation in addition to other smartphone features. Seat height is set at an accessible 800mm, and the unique storage area where the fuel tank would normally be offers 23L of volume.
The parallel twin-cylinder engine blends strong low- to mid-range performance with easy manners and excellent fuel efficiency. Peak power is 43.1kW with an impressive maximum torque of 69Nm. A near 400km fuel range is achievable from the 14.1L fuel tank.
Throttle By Wire (TBW) serves three default rider modes plus a customisable USER choice, while Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) features input over three levels, with newly refined RAIN mode.
The tubular steel frame chassis houses 41mm telescopic front forks and Pro-Link rear monoshock. For 2025 dual 296mm discs replace the single front disc of the previous design; the 17-inch front/rear wheels feature a new lightweight ‘3by3’ design, which offsets the additional weight of the new front brake system.
The 2025 NC750X will be available in the following colour options:
- **NEW** Earth Ivy Ash Green with Graphite Black trim
- **NEW** Earth Black with Mat Beta Silver Metallic trim
- **NEW** Mat Pearl Glare White with Graphite Black trim

Sharp Performance. Sharp New Looks. The NC750X is not like other bikes.
From the weekday commute to weekends away it packs the perfect level of performance, economy and comfort into a hugely enjoyable form. And in its own, ruggedly minimalist style. A mass-forward stance – thanks to muscular fuel tank and slim side panels – throw directly to tautly redrawn upper and lower middle fairings, featuring sharp new creases and detail lines. The new LED headlight is highly visible to other road users and powerful for nighttime riding and the screen offers plenty of wind and weather protection.
Every journey starts with a single step. And we’re looking forward.
Which means zero environmental impact throughout the entire life of our products – for a future beyond our time. It may not be an easy goal to achieve but we will continue taking on the challenges without giving up. And the new NC750X is part of the start of this journey; it is the first Honda to utilise coloured Durabio – a sustainable bio resin – with six parts employed throughout the bike. With recycled plastic, rubber and resin materials also used in other areas of the bodywork, a total of 34% is now sustainable.
Flexible. Adaptable. Performance for Every Day Built Around You. The NC750X’s engine uses advanced Throttle By Wire management.
Which means the character of both power, torque and engine braking delivery – plus Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) level – are adaptable. Three default modes are built in: STANDARD for a mid-point of engine power/braking and HSTC, SPORT delivers more aggressive performance with minimal HSTC intervention, while RAIN softens delivery and employs new, smoother HSTC management.
Highly efficient 745cc 8-valve Parallel Twin-Cylinder Engine

2025 Honda NC750X Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
Styling & Equipment
The 2025 NC750X adopts a new dynamic, tough identity thanks to evolved upper and lower fairings with sharp creases and detail lines. Revisions to the fairing’s structure, and how they affix to the bike, also improve the ease of removal and installation of the fairings, and ultimately improve the overall ease of maintenance.
Other revisions to the NC750X include a new a new seat skin with added stitching, which amplifies the premium feel of the bike, and a revised muscular cover for the storage area that sits where the tank usually would. A new LED headlight provides the bike with a strong frontal signature. The screen also offers excellent wind and weather protection, whilst slim side panels, covers and a revised tail unit emphasise a ‘mass-forward’ stance. To tailor the bike to individual’s needs, a height adjustable screen is available as an optional accessory as is a new comfort seat, which uses additional urethane padding to provide a more comfortable ride.
This generation of NC750X makes increased use of the sustainable material DurabioTM (a bio-based polycarbonate resin), which has now been applied in the manufacture for some fairing parts, windscreen and other components. The NC750X is the first Honda to utilise coloured Durabio; with six parts employed throughout the bike in the Khaki and Black colourways.
A unique NC feature – the storage area where the fuel tank traditionally sits – has 23L volume and careful internal shaping allows it to hold an adventure style helmet. There’s also an optional USB socket, which can be installed – tucked away on the upper left of the compartment as well as an optional divider, which compartmentalises the luggage space for improved useability.
Premium technology, in the form of a new five-inch full colour TFT screen, uses optical bonding to improve visibility in bright sunlight. By sealing the gap between the cover glass and TFT screen with resin, glare is reduced, and visibility improved. The display itself is customisable between ‘Bar’, ‘Circle’ and ‘Simple’ display patterns and offers smartphone connectivity via Honda RoadSync.
Honda RoadSync, alongside a new simplified, easy-to-use, backlit four-way toggle-switch on the left handlebar, allows straightforward, on-screen turn-by-turn navigation as well as the option (via a Bluetooth helmet headset) for the rider to make calls, listen to music or receive voice feedback of weather conditions. All an owner needs to do is download the free Honda RoadSync app from either the Play Store or the App Store, connect to the NC750X, and go.
The rear indicators have an Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) function. If negative acceleration of 6.0m/s2 is detected at a minimum speed of 56km/h with either brake working, the hazard lights flash to warn other road users a hard stop is in process. At the same speed the threshold is reduced if ABS is activated to a negative acceleration of a minimum 2.5m/s2.
A ‘wave’ key features the Honda Ignition Security System (HISS). If the ID chip embedded in the key and the ID in the Engine Control Unit (ECU) do not match, the engine will not start.
Engine
The design of the NC750X’s liquid-cooled, SOHC 8-valve parallel twin-cylinder engine ensures punchy performance in the low-to-mid range. Its relatively long-stroke architecture and specially shaped combustion chambers combine with the high-inertial mass crankshaft to produce large amounts of effortless torque from very low rpm. A forward cant brings the centre of gravity down for optimum stability.
Peak power of 43.1kW @ 6,750rpm is matched to maximum torque of 69Nm @ 4,750rpm. Bore and stroke are set at 77mm and 80mm respectively, with the compression ratio at 10.7:1.
For A2 licence holders a 35kW version is available, which can be easily converted to the full power version by a Honda dealer at the appropriate time. Equally, it is possible to restrict the full power version to 35kW by a Honda dealer remapping the ECU. An assist/slipper clutch reduces lever load and manages rear-wheel lock up under fast down changes of the manual 6-speed gearbox while decelerating.
Twin balancers counteract vibration from higher rpm inertia without affecting the distinct ‘throb’ delivered by the engine’s irregular firing order and 270° phased crankshaft. Where possible components are made to do more than one job: the camshaft drives the water pump, while one of the balancer shafts drives the oil pump. By keeping the number of parts to a minimum in this way, the engine is kept light, efficient and reliable.
A lightweight pentagon-shaped muffler uses two chambers joined by a hole-punched link pipe, which works with a final resonator chamber to create a deep, distinctive sound and exhaust pulse. And the NC750X engine sips fuel – with a measured consumption of 28.3km/l (WMTC mode) – providing a near 400km range from the 14.1-litre under seat fuel tank. It also now has an OBD-2 sensor and new catalyser to optimise emissions for Euro5+ compliance.
Engine Electronics
With TBW managing engine performance and character there are three modes for the rider to choose from for various riding conditions, with pre-set combinations of settings for Power, Engine Braking and Honda Selectable Torque Control. Mode selection is managed between the left-hand switchgear and the LCD display.
- SPORT gives more aggressive delivery of engine Power (P) and Engine Braking (EB), with low HSTC intervention.
- RAIN delivers P and EB least aggressively, has high HSTC intervention. It has been refined for smoother intervention of HSTC.
- STANDARD delivers a balanced middle point for P, EB and HSTC
- USER offers custom options of low/medium/high for delivery of P and EB braking, low/ medium/ high/ off for HSTC
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) is fitted as standard. It offers soft, intuitive control as it manages rear wheel torque thanks to TBW, over three levels:
- Level 1 allows the minimum intervention for some rear wheel spin – on gravel or dirt for instance.
- Level 2 is the default setting and provides confidence-inspiring traction for general riding conditions.
- Level 3 provides maximum control for slippery roads, and links to the new RAIN mode settings.
HSTC can also be switched OFF.
Chassis
Core of the chassis is a tubular steel diamond frame; it’s both light weight and strong. The riding position is upright and neutral, with a high viewpoint for enhanced hazard perception. Another advantage of this adventure-style riding position is great low-speed control – combined with the low centre of gravity and generous steering lock, the result is exceptional low-speed handling and balance.
Caster Angle is set at 27° with trail of 110mm, wheelbase at 1,525mm and front/rear weight distribution of 49/51. Kerb weight is 216kg). Seat height is 802mm.
41mm telescopic forks employ 120mm travel and use Showa Dual Bending Valves (SDBV) with ratios optimised for both compression and rebound damping. This allows the creation of damping force in precise proportion to piston speed – from the low-speed range – improving ride quality and comfort. The rear monoshock features a spring preload adjuster system with 120mm travel. It operates through Pro-Link that offers an optimised balance of a soft initial stroke together with excellent control, for dealing with a wide range of riding scenarios.
Up front, the single 320mm wavy disc and two-piston brake caliper of the previous design have been replaced by dual two-piston axial-mount calipers and 296mm floating discs; offering confidence-inspiring braking power and confidence in all conditions. Rear braking is provided by a 240mm disc and single-piston caliper as before. Lightweight two-channel ABS provides powerful and confident braking even on slippery or wet road surfaces.
New ‘3by3’ spoke cast aluminium front and rear wheels – sizes 17 x 3.50-inch and 17 x 4.50-inch – wear 120/70 ZR17 and 160/60 ZR17 tyres and save 1.8kg, negating the extra weight of the revised front braking system.
