Turn on the TV, head down to your nearest
hangout, go for a burger on the weekend,
and you’re going to see cruiser-style
motorcycle, guaranteed. And why not? Cruisers are
a great choice for thousands
of riders: the low seat heights, the relaxed riding positions,
the
rider-friendly power delivery. The only problem is that a lot of them start
looking alike,
and a lot of riders think a cruiser should be all about
individuality.
That’s
where the Honda CTX700N comes in. We took the best
parts of the cruiser idiom
(laid-back seating, forward-set pegs, torque-rich twin-cylinder
engine that you
don’t have to rev for power) and put them together into a package
unlike
anything else you’ll see on the road. The low 28.3-inch seat height makes this
a
great choice for both urban riders who have to deal with stoplights and
parking lots as well
as anyone who likes a machine with a lower center of
gravity. And there’s plenty of
class-leading technology in this bike too. For
example, you can get a version with
Honda’s automatic (DCT) transmission and
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), as well as a
standard six-speed model.
