At the heart of the 2012 Honda NC700S naked motorcycle, Honda relies on a 670 cc (40.9 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 46.9 HP (34.3 kW) at 6,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 60 Nm (44.3 lb-ft) at 4,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 70 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (4,750 rpm) and peak power (6,250 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the NC700S measures 211 kg (465 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.22 HP/kg (4.5 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,525 mm (60 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 14.1-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.85 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 241 km (150 miles) between fill-ups.
