If you would like to spend under R250 on petrol to ride 400km, then the Honda NC750X is the bike for you.
Honda stated that the new NC750X can ride for 28.3km per 1 litre of petrol, which gives it a range of just under 400km on its 14.1-litre tank.
This efficient fuel economy is thanks to the bike’s engine and long gear ratios at the top-end.
The NC750X packs a liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, 2-cylinder, 745cc engine that produces 43kW and 69Nm.
First, second, and third gears provide a quick acceleration thanks to short ratios, but fourth, fifth, and sixth gears are “now slightly taller for maximum fuel efficiency”, said Honda.
This is complemented by a 6kg weight reduction for the bike when compared to the previous model, along with new riding modes for a variety of scenarios.
