Honda is known for taking a different approach when it comes to its middleweight bikes. Unlike its Japanese contemporaries, Big Red seems to be taking its own path in the 400 to 800cc segment with bikes that, technically speaking, are unrivaled in their respective categories. For instance, its beginner-friendly model range based on the CB500 platform is slightly bigger and just a tiny bit more powerful than its competitors' 300cc-400cc bikes.
The same story goes for the 650 to 700 class, with Honda offering just the CB650R naked bike and CBR650R sportbike. It seems that it's missing an entrant in the highly competitive middleweight ADV segment, wherein Yamaha's Tenere 700 shines the brightest among the Japanese adventurers. Granted, rumors have been floating around that a Transalp 750 from Honda could be making a comeback, so we may have to stay tuned for that. Nonetheless, it looks like Honda will soon be releasing yet another range of adventure/dual-sport models in the form of the NX.
