With 50bhp and a claim of 78mpg, it might make a good comuter but I can't see that it'll be much fun to ride.

you'd want a good disguise in order to ride that, that's way beyond pig-ugly!

And they forgot to finish the front mudguard. I can see the engine being clogged up with shite in no time
What are Honda thinking?

I switched from a Transalp to a 900 for commuting. The Honda sounds gutless - the 900 is lighter with more torque and will return mpg in the 70's, so....

I did too. For a shortish commute the TA is a great bike, very comfortable, handles great, fuelling spot on, but it IS gutless and juicy when ridden hard. It was the 45mpg at 85mph I couldn't cope with. That why the NC700 is worthy of a good look.
