Honda Ctx700 Series

[loserlazer]

Honda style cheap and reasonable series.

The article states like made in Thailand.

Is that true?

Hope to see these kind of variants made in Thailand with 670 cc honda engine or at least with 470 cc engine.

If they make this in Thailand, i can buy one like many probably the fairing one.

Honda Nice style headlamps looks funny though:lol:

Fairing one looks ok.

Finally, a successor to the esteemed Honda Phantom... made in Thailand is interesting though I guess that should keep the price down.

That's a low seat height.

I took the liberty of overlaying the NC700X so people would have a visual idea of the bike.

**edit**

As an aside; the NC700X cost a princely 463 000 baht.

I don't think I have mentioned it before.....but it looks like a pig dog! Only a mother could luv it. Mrs Honda was visually impaired.

Yes, there is such a thing Irene.

Yeah it looks ugly especially the naked one, i agree.

Will they make them in Thailand? Anyone has an idea?

If yes, we can see the around 300 k at honda bigwing.

Or maybe a 500 cc version of it?

I think honda will make many bikes with 470 and 670 cc engines.

I was thinking Honda was going to release a "Phantom" based on the CBR 250 engine. Hasn't happened yet. Would be a perfect starter cruiser. Can't see them stuffing a 500 engine in a frame designed for the NCX engine.

$6999 in the US, and $15500 in Thailand...where it's being produced. As in 'inside' you might need to have a word?!

Tell that to my bosses¹ overseas...if only I was and could stay in the Kingdom full time....

I hope they make them in thailand. I can buy the fairing one.

Has anyone heard if/when the 2014 Honda CTX700 will be available in Thailand?

[Briggsy]

I believe there may be more info at the motor show on at the moment such as a release date and a price. I am very interested but I only bought a CB 500X 3 months ago! What do I do now? Wait is the answer.

briggsy, you can go buy one and get it fast.

it is 349 k for normal version and 406 k with dual clutch auto tranny and ABS.

good deal for the bike also it looks much more better in metal! sat on it and fells very comfy.

good choice for an effortless and comfy bike in Thailand.

[Briggsy]

Wouldn't that just be placing an order? With bike to come some time next year? or are they actually putting them out of the door already?

You can ask bigwing.

I would be kind of embarrassed. I just bought a CB 500 X off them! Anyway, I might pop in and ask. I would wager we won't see these bikes in the showrooms for another 4 months at least.

I'm off to have another look at the pics, specs and options on the website.

[Briggsy]

Looking at youtube, there are at least 2 versions available on the American market, one with Honda Dual Transmission Control, basically an automatic than can be overridden by up and down shift controls on the left handlebar and the other is a manual transmission model. They are both made in Japan. The cheaper manual version is $7,000, which appears massively cheaper than the Thai recommended retail price.

Am I they only one who things this bike looks good?

[ll2]

not only one but only for some angles

i think, dual clutch auto tranny version is a really good choice.

ride hours without touching the clutch, yep boring but comfy.

i tried that double clutch tranny and it is surprisingly smooth, smoother than a scooter actually and find gears nicely.

[dave_boo]

Plenty of room on the left handlebar of the DCT model to mount one of these:

[losworld]

[Shurup]

Re bike: looks fugly but that's just my opinion, doesn't look like a cruiser to me.
