Honda Ctx700
The Honda CTX700 was introduced in 2014 as part of Honda's CTX lineup, designed to bridge the gap between cruiser and standard motorcycle styles with a low seat height and approachable ergonomics. It was built around the same 670cc parallel-twin engine from the NC700 series, targeting new and returning riders with its automatic DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) option. The model was discontinued in the North American market after 2018, having served as a gateway motorcycle praised for its comfort and ease of use.

What Buyers Should Know
DCT Automatic Transmission
The CTX700 features Honda's Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), making it one of the few motorcycles offering a true automatic option — ideal for new riders or urban commuters. The DCT system has proven highly reliable with minimal reported failures.
Watch the Final Drive
Some owners report premature wear on the shaft drive's universal joint if regular lubrication is neglected — inspect this carefully on used models. Maintenance records confirming proper servicing are a green flag when buying secondhand.
Strong Resale Value
The CTX700 holds its value well due to Honda's reliability reputation and the unique appeal of the DCT system, which remains rare in its price segment. Low depreciation means used prices stay relatively firm compared to competitors.
