Engineered by Honda for the sport touring motorcycle segment, the 2012 Honda NT700V ABS pairs a 680 cc (41.5 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 81.0 x 66.0 mm (3.2 x 2.6 inches) with a 10.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the NT700V ABS measures 258.1 kg (569 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,476 mm (58.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 19.68-liter (5.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.8 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 410 km (255 miles) between fill-ups.
