The 2018 NC750X will arrive in dealerships next summer with the liquid-cooled, transverse, SOHC 8-valve parallel twin punched up to 745cc and the rev ceiling on the automatic Dual Clutch Transmission version raised to 7,500 rpm so riders can take full advantage of the engine?s peak power in manual mode. The DCT also offers two automatic modes, Drive and Sport. Read our review of the 2017 Honda NC700X
