Vehicle Description
This. Changes. Everything.... is what Motorcycle.com had to say
after they test drove the brand new 2014 Honda CTX700N. It's easy
to understand why they think so, when you see one up close under
our showroom lights. Honda built the CTX series with the idea to
take the best of motorcycling, add new technology, and make it even
better. They accomplish this by lowering the seat height to 28.3
inches and forward set the hand controls and foot pegs. Combine
this with Honda's parallel-twin engine design, and you have a bike
with a very low center of gravity, making the CTX700N feel
remarkably nimble and fun to ride.
These days, with the popularity of motorcycles rising almost as
fast as the gas that fuels them, it's not hard to find great
looking custom bikes. But how many of those customs actually have a
perfect combination of proven dependability and jaw-dropping curb
appeal that'll provide years of happy ownership? Or you can walk
into our showroom and fire up this slick, brand new Honda. For the
2014 CTX700N models, you only had to color options - Black and a
vibrant Candy Red. This particular 700N is the latter, and it looks
incredible. With only 604 miles on the bike since it left the
Japanese factory, the paint looks like it was shot yesterday. The
red is accented by the black accessory pieces and engine
panels.
Designed and built to mix timeless aesthetics with today's best
modern technology, there are plenty of rider-friendly features that
make owning this Honda a very pleasant experience. Up front, black
forks ride between a large headlight, detailed passing lamps and
stylish handlebars. On the sides of the red body stylish vents add
to the overall look and have the letters CTX branded near. A wide
black seat offers the right mixture of comfort and support for one
or two passengers, while providing a great view of simple, digital
telemetry. Also In front of the seat you have some hidden storage
and the fuel filler. Sit down on the bike and you'll quickly see
how the lowered seat height and the forward set hand controls and
foot pegs make for a very comfortable riding experience.
Underneath this bike's attractive body, Honda engineers created a
chassis that both novices and hardcore motorcycle enthusiasts could
enjoy. Strap on a helmet and take it for a spin and you'll see how
The 41mm fork suspension is capable of 4.2 inches of travel, while
the Pro-link rear suspension provides an incredible ride with 4.3
inches of travel. Stopping power at the front of the bike comes
courtesy of a Single 320mm disc with a two-piston caliper, and at
the rear you'll find a single 240mm disc with a single-piston
caliper. Beyond the brakes the original Honda rims have been
wrapped in Bridgestone rubber to provide amazing handling.
Drivetrains are always the focal point of world class road bikes,
and this awesome Cruiser boasts an 670cc liquid-cooled parallel
twin engine. The engine utilizes a 73mm x 80mm bore and PGM- FI
with a 36mm throttle body to provide plenty of reliable torque and
power. With its cylinders tipped 62 degrees forward for better
weight distribution, the CTX700N's engine is a big step forward in
modern powerplant design. The two-cylinder format produces tons of
low- and mid-range torque, and the 270-degree-phase crank and
uniaxial primary balancer make it smooth, too. Bolted to the engine
is a 6-speed manual transmission that provides smooth dependable
shifts. Not only does the combination give you plenty of power at
your controls, but also creates 64mpg to ensure you don't spend all
your time filling up the 3.2 gallon gas tank.
With only a tick above 600 original miles, and all the right
hardware to make cruising a real pleasure, this pristine Honda
CTX/N is the perfect bike for anyone looking to hit the road in
comfort and style. If you're ready for some liberating, 2-wheel
adventure, don't miss the chance to own this practically new bike!
