Honda NC700X available in Shanghai!

[Kennon]

I would much rather have the CB500 range to me they look more appealing and everyone goes through a stage on a smaller capacity bike that you have to revv the life out of to get anywhere, but I still do keep seeing really good reviews on the NC700 range mostly about the X and S from guys who have decided to step down from overpowered sterioud fueld bikes to something more sensible.

I probably did not notice because of my bad English, so please, someone answer me this: how many pieces of NCs you can get for 140,000 yuan? Two or three?

[Kennon]

could get about 3 for that price in the UK.

If your theory about thai made bikes being cheaper in china is true, that should make the kawasaki er6-n, er6-f and versys bikes interesting too. However the price you mentioned for the nc700 doesn't sound any cheaper than imports for other countries.

Funnily, a 2013 er6-n with abs is not much more money in thailand than the chinese copy is over here, and that is a copy of an earlier model with no abs and mixed reliability reports. Imagine the two competing in a fair market....

Any changes in availability and pricing on the made in Thailand NC700X being imported into Shanghai or PRC? I'm curious cause I see that a lot of the prices for other Thailand manufactured bikes imported into PRC and pretty favourable, so curious how this might have played out with this particular model.

Edit: NC700 series models are not manufactured in Thailand as it turns out... after seeing a NC700X on display at a Blue Wing Honda stand at a vehicle show in Northern Thailand, discovered the NC700X was approx. double (if not more) the price of the CB500X I was riding.

Surely if the ER6N is about 75,000 and then logically the NC700 range would be about the same and the CB500 65,000? When/if available.

Could you clarify your comments toward the er6n available in China, you're saying it´s a chinese copy of an earlier model? It´s not the last er6n 2013 imported from Thai?

Thanks,

76K and 80K respectively for the er6, so 33% more than regular MSRP.

Z250 and Ninja 250 are only 20% more expensive, 38K and 42K.

But must add 4 to 5K of taxes and other stuff...

Songhong rd / Changning rd...

Now that Honda 700 at 200% more than regular price is a JOKE which isn't fun.

Is it just me or does that picture look like a gorilla riding a minibike for anyone else? [...]

HAHAHA!!! Yeah, they should have get a tiny skinny Japanese cosplay girl for that picture, that 200 pounds stunt rider in full riding gear is ridiculous here..

I was saying that a 2013 ABS Er6-n in thailand costs barely more than a CFmoto 650nk in does china. The CFmoto is a copy of an earlier model er6.
