06 August 2013 - Making its way into Honda Dealerships this month, Honda's innovative new CTX700 series is set to shake up traditional riding. Offering comfort, technology and experience these new releases are fun to ride, offer excellent value for money and attention grabbing good looks.

With three variations available, the naked cruiser CTX700N, the faired CTX700 and its Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) variant, the CTX700D, there is a CTX ideal for all styles of riding. Powered by a purpose built parallel-twin engine, the new series focuses on premium lightweight handling and excellent ergonomics.

This innovative new concept motorcycle series can be enjoyed for inspiringly affordable prices. The un-faired CTX700N is just $9,049, the faired CTX700 an impressive $9,849 and the CTX700 with Honda's DCT is competitive at $10,849 (Manufacturers List Price stated, these prices do not include on-road or registration costs).

The sophisticated, liquid-cooled, SOHC, eight-valve engine with Programmed Fuel Injection pumps out abundant torque in the low-end and midrange for easily accessible power. A rigid and compact diamond-shape steel frame, low centre of gravity and plush suspension help make the CTX700s responsive, agile and enjoyable over the long haul.

Designed specifically for enjoying the open road, the CTX700 and CTX700D are the ideal travel partners for exploring the countryside either alone or two-up thanks to the open, roomy ergonomics, efficient fairing and sizeable windscreen.

Embodying the same characteristics as the faired version, the CTX700N with its cruiser riding position and naked styling is a fun, friendly and comfortable motorcycle ideal for everyday rides and weekend trips.

The CTX700D uses Honda's second-generation, automatic six-speed Dual Clutch Transmission which uses two hydraulically controlled clutches to deliver quick and smooth gear changes in a choice of three modes. All three variants boast an Antilock Braking System (ABS) ensuring full antilock functionality provides powerful and secure braking action in all conditions.

Available in Black and Red, the CTX700N, CTX700 and CTX700D are available now in Honda Dealerships nationally.
