The NC700 series is classed as a commuter model bike which has incorporated design and mechanical elements from various motorcycle types.
There is a helmet-sized internal storage in place of the traditional fuel tank, which in turn is located under the seat.
[7] In Europe, Australia and Canada,[8] 745 cc variants are available as the NC750S and NC750X from 2014 model year onward, with slightly larger 77 mm cylinder bore producing 40.3 kilowatts (54.0 hp).

The NC700 series is powered by a single overhead camshaft 670 cc (41 cu in) parallel-twin engine that is tilted 62˚ forward to provide a low centre of gravity, with near uniform weight distribution.
[16][17] The undersquare engine has programmed fuel injection, separate timing profiles for each cylinder,[18][19][20] and is tuned to deliver powerful torque in the low- to mid-speed range.
The version used on the Integra and NC700SD is lighter and more compact due to a simplified hydraulic circuit; a learning function has also been added to each of the drive modes to detect a variety of riding environments.
