The Honda NC750X – the DCT allrounder in Zurich

Honda NC750X – 745 cc and 43 kW

An everyday machine for commuting and touring

The NC750X runs 745 cc and produces 43 kW. That is deliberately not a headline figure: the twin is built for torque low down rather than for revs. This is exactly what makes it easy to live with – you short shift and rarely need to stir the gearbox. It is ridden on the full category A licence.

There is also a 35 kW version for the restricted category, and a dual clutch option – both are covered in the next section.

We stock the 2025 model year. Details of individual bikes – colour, mileage, equipment and price – are in the vehicle list further down this page. If you would rather not shift at all, our overview of every automatic model has its own page.

Honda NC750X DCT – the NC 750 XD Dual Clutch

Riding without a clutch lever

The NC 750 XD Dual Clutch has a dual clutch transmission: no clutch lever and no gear pedal. It shifts by itself, or by hand at the push of a button if you prefer. Anyone riding in town or in stop-start traffic notices the difference immediately – the left hand is free and hill starts stop being an issue.

This is the most searched aspect of the model: NC750X DCT is looked up far more often than the manual version. We supply both – which one is in stock right now is shown in the vehicle list.

Other Honda models without shifting are on our automatic motorbike page.

Used, demonstrator and demo machines

Our second hand and demonstrator stock

What you see in the list are our used machines, demonstrators and demo bikes. If nothing is listed, we have none in stock for immediate sale at the moment. But as soon as their demo period ends, as-new machines become available for sale on a rolling basis.

Please get in touch. As-new demonstrator, demo and good second hand machines come in all the time – often as part exchanges, before they are advertised, or once their demo period has ended. Tell us what you are looking for: we will contact you as soon as something suitable arrives and are happy to reserve it for you.

We take your current machine in part exchange. Bring it in or send us photos and details – we will make you an offer and set it against the purchase price.

Honda NC750X top box and panniers

Anyone using the NC750X to commute or tour upgrades the luggage first. A top box swallows a helmet and wet weather gear and tends to stay on all year; panniers pay off as soon as you are away for several days. We fit the racks and cases here, align them and match the locks to one key for every case.

All prices non-binding and subject to change at any time · fitting not included.

Honda NC750X screen

The standard screen is cut short. If you ride motorway regularly, a taller touring screen makes the biggest single difference – less pressure on chest and helmet, noticeably quieter. We match the screen to your height, because one that is too tall creates turbulence at helmet level.

Honda NC750X crash bars and engine guard

Crash bars protect the fairing and engine when the bike tips over at standstill – which happens in car parks far more often than on the road. An engine guard makes sense if you also ride gravel tracks. We fit both using the original mounting points, without drilling into the frame.

Honda NC750X exhaust

A different end can changes the sound and the weight. We only fit systems with valid Swiss approval – anything else causes trouble at the next inspection. Which system is homologated for your bike is something we clarify before ordering.

Honda does not list an end can for the NC750X in its original accessory range – unlike the Africa Twin, for example. We therefore check aftermarket systems for Swiss approval on your machine and tell you before ordering what can be homologated.

Honda NC750X heated grips

If you ride the NC750X through the colder half of the year, fit heated grips. They are wired in permanently and switched with the ignition so the battery does not suffer at standstill. Combined with hand guards they extend the season noticeably.

Honda NC750X seat

The seat decides how far you can ride in one go. A lower version gets shorter riders closer to the ground; a comfort seat with different foam makes long stages bearable. We will show you the options in person – sitting on them tells you more than any description.

Other parts – hand guards, luggage racks, tank bags – we order on request. Tell us how you use the bike and the recommendation follows from that.

Every NC750X accessory with a picture, part number and price is listed in the Honda NC750X accessory brochure as a PDF. We order the parts and fit them in our own motorcycle workshop.

Honda NC750X servicing and running costs

Our own workshop, Honda trained

We service the NC750X in our own workshop: scheduled servicing, oil changes, brakes, tyres, chain and sprockets, and preparation for the Swiss roadworthiness test. We keep the service book up to date, which protects the value when you come to sell.

Running costs also cover what comes up between appointments – a tyre before a tour, a battery after the winter, converting the 35 kW version to full power. Give us a call; we can usually find a slot at short notice.

Everything about servicing, repairs and running costs is on our motorcycle service page.

Honda NC700X – the bike that came before

What NC700X owners usually want to know

The NC700X was the first generation of this range. It follows the same idea as today’s NC750X: a twin with torque low down, built for everyday use rather than for headline figures. Many are still running, often with high mileage – that is what they were made for.

We continue to service the NC700X and source parts for as long as they remain available. Give us the year and frame number and we will check what can be had.

If you are moving up from an NC700X: the larger engine brings 745 cc instead of 700, and there is the dual clutch option. We will take your current bike in part exchange.

Where the Honda NC750X makes sense

Commute, weekend tour, alpine pass

Commuting. This is where the NC750X is at its best: narrow enough to filter, unhurried off the mark, economical. With dual clutch there is no constant shifting in stop-start traffic – on the run from Volketswil into Zurich you notice that every morning.

Weekend touring. With panniers and a taller screen it handles several days away without complaint. Fuel consumption stays low, which means longer stretches between stops on a long day.

Alpine passes. Torque low down suits tight hairpins: you stay in the same gear instead of changing constantly. Riders carrying a pillion and luggage appreciate exactly that.

Getting back into riding. After a few years off, a predictable machine is the right call. The 35 kW version also opens it up to riders on a restricted licence – see our beginner bike page.

The Honda NC750X compared

Honestly: not the right bike for everyone

Against the Honda Transalp: that one is the adventure bike with longer suspension travel and more power – the better choice if you regularly ride gravel and cross passes. The NC750X is the calmer, more economical machine for everyday road use.

Against the CB 650 R: that is the naked bike with a four cylinder engine and far more appetite for revs. If you want the noise and the top end, go there. If you want torque low down and low running costs, stay with the NC750X.

Against a scooter: a scooter is handier in town. As soon as motorway or a pillion enters the picture the NC750X is clearly ahead – and with dual clutch it stays just as easy in traffic.

Every model with automatic transmission is compared on our automatic motorbike page.

Courses and training for NC750X riders

From the learner permit to safety training

What decides a hairy moment is rarely the engine: braking on a wet surface, swerving, where you look. More speed and more lean never come from courage or risk but from coordination and timing – ride faster than your technique allows and you will come off sooner or later.

Training happens away from the road: off-road the surface is uneven, the speed lower and the window of reaction wider – a light bike forgives more. Afterwards you carry the technique across to your own machine.

Courses and dates at the MX-Academy: small groups with individual analysis, led by Chris Möckli, twice European champion, supported by Honda Switzerland.

If you still need the licence itself, the process is set out on our motorcycle licence page.
