23 January 2014 - Nudging it up a gear, Honda announces the naked NC750SA which will arrive in Australia next month boasting more power and torque than its predecessor. Described as one of the most affordable, useful and fun naked motorcycles available, the new NC750SA offers twin balancer shafts, new exhaust muffler and taller gearing plus a host of detail upgrades.

With an MLP of just $8,799\* and handy features such as the helmet sized under seat compartment and standard fit ABS, Honda's NC750SA is the ideal mid-sized daily commuter for riders of all sizes and experience levels.

Thanks to the extra 75cc capacity that has been added to the liquid-cooled, SOHC, 8-valve parallel twin-cylinder engine, more power and torque is delivered throughout the entire rev-range. The gearing is taller but acceleration and top speed are both improved, while the addition of twin-balancer shafts and new exhaust muffler ensure a smooth yet robust engine feel.

Both practical and efficient in terms of layout, the NC750SA's engine configuration allows enough space within the body of the motorcycle for a compartment large enough to fit a full-face helmet.

The NC750SA's rugged steel diamond frame delivers the high levels of rigidity required for agile, responsive handling in a variety of conditions. Superb ergonomics ensure the rider is always firmly in control; handlebars are just a relaxed reach away and the seat height is a manageable 790mm. Passengers are made comfortable with twin grab handles.

Lightweight two-channel ABS which is fitted as standard equipment, greatly reduces the chance of wheel lock-ups on slippery or wet road surfaces and the addition of a 6-position span-adjustable brake lever adds adaptability.

Practical features such as the easy-to-read instrument display and Honda's Ignition Security System (HISS) which is an effective anti-theft set-up ensure the new NC750SA will be a popular machine with both riders stepping up to a larger motorcycle or those wishing to scale back.

Fun and affordable, Honda's new NC750SA is due for arrival in February 2014 in two colour schemes; Graphite Black and Matt Pearl Glare White. See your Honda Dealer today for more information.
