Used Buyer Review

The NC750S is Honda's answer to a question nobody thought to ask: what if a commuter bike was genuinely good? Spoiler — it is. The parallel twin pulls smoothly from almost nothing, the DCT option makes city traffic a genuine pleasure, and that underseat storage swallows a full-face helmet like it's nothing. Used examples are everywhere because people buy them sensibly and sell them sensibly, which means the market is healthy and prices are honest. Here's the reality check though: this bike will not excite you. The throttle response is deliberately muted, the suspension is tuned for comfort over corners, and it sounds like a particularly efficient lawn mower. Push it hard into bends and you'll find its limits quickly — this isn't what it's built for. Buy one used from 2014 onwards and check the service history obsessively; the DCT gearbox needs clean oil or it gets grabby fast. Frame and engine are bulletproof otherwise.

Pros

+Exceptional real-world fuel economy
+Underseat storage genuinely useful
+DCT makes traffic effortless
+Bulletproof Honda reliability record
+Cheap to insure and run

Cons

-Excitement level near zero
-DCT service costs add up
-Suspension wallows under pressure
