Honda NC 750: S, X and Integra, engine and what to check when buying used
Honda NC 750 — since 2014, an economical mid-range motorcycle with a 745 cm³ parallel-twin engine, offered in S, X and Integra versions, with manual or DCT gearbox. We look at the versions, engine and what to check before buying used.
NC 750 in brief
The NC 750 series is built for everyday use: economical engine, comfortable seating and practicality. The engine is derived from Honda car engine technology, so it boasts a high torque at low revs and low fuel consumption.
Before the NC750 came the NC700 (2012–2013), and from 2014 the engines were increased to 745 cm³. The model suits both beginners (A2 version) and experienced riders looking for a comfortable, affordable-to-run motorcycle.
Versions
NC750S — a naked-style motorcycle, NC750X — an adventure-style with a higher seat and greater ride height, Integra — a scooter and motorcycle hybrid with a protective fairing, often sold with a DCT gearbox.
Since 2021 the X version has been updated (new design, more power and more equipment), and some versions may come with a DCT dual-clutch automatic gearbox. In the S and X versions, the front, where the fuel tank is usually located, is fitted with a storage compartment (fuel is filled under the seat).
Engine and gearbox
Engine — 745 cm³ twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled, with around 54–58 hp and approximately 68 N·m of torque. The engine is smooth, economical and designed for low to mid-range revs.
Choose between a six-speed manual gearbox or DCT — a dual-clutch automatic transmission. The NC750 is also available in an A2 version with restricted power, making it suitable for beginners.
What to check when buying a used NC 750
Check if the DCT gearbox (if present) shifts smoothly and if the engine has any unusual noises. Ask for the service history, check the chain and sprockets, brakes, tyres and steering for play.
Inspect the luggage compartment (if present), the fairing for signs of a drop, and ensure the power output matches the stated figure (A2 versions are sometimes de-restricted). Adventure-style X versions are sometimes used for light off-roading — check the suspension.
