The original models of the 700 had a manually adjustable 2 position screen, this required the brackets to be removed swapped left to right and turned upside down before refitting.....
The 08 model has a manually adjustable 5 position screen. No tools just pull forward at the top and slide up or down then allow to settle backward again.... theoretically.
Not had one so can't say good or bad.....

A manually adjusted screen? About all I have to say on that it's better then none at all. If I had to stop everytime I adjusted my screen, I'd never get anywhere. Just my :tc1:

They should call it the ST700 not an NT 700 ... it looks like a mini ST

Nice! Looks like it will be an excellent commuter. With silver as an option...This is in the contender.

The engine in the Vulcan 750 went virtually unchanged for 21 years because it was a proven workhorse. Sometimes there's something to be said for old technology.

I *like* heavy. Don't like riding a light bike hours on freeways.Old technology, heavy and REALLY expensive.

Don't know if it would work on the NT700 but I read an article about putting a Trans Alp motor into a Hawk frame. Required very little modification. Were any of those big V-twin Hondas shaft drive?

Heavy is not completely bad for freeways specially if it's windy

All the older Shadows V-twins are/were shaftys The NT700 motor is a derivative of the Shadow motor. The Trans Alp of course was a chain drive.

My old Dilbert wobbled something terrible in the wind and I went thru 2 screens in a month trying to reduce the head shake from turbulence (mind the new screen may help the latter). The ST is rock compared.
Between the NT and ST the ST wins hands down - as long as you can park it right

+ 1 on parking. Kinda hard specially with inseam challenged folks like me.
The Honda I've been waiting for: NT700V
http://powersports.honda.com/2010/nt700v.aspx
Check out the NT700V
its a V-Twin Sport/luxury/tourer. I bought a Versys last year and own a Superhawk and a K12LT. Its possible that this could replace them all! What do y'all think?

Replace the Superhawk?
Replace the K12LT? :noway
Replace the Versys? :yes:

Seems as though it fits in the American market. Mid-size with all the accoutrements that leaves nothing behind. A void that's been left in the market for quite some time., I've been riding an ST1300, but would have turned my head at the NT700V. I owned a NT650 Hawk and have kicked myself more than once for sending her down the road. Now, shaft drive, full fairing, and four valves per cylinder, what a difference a few years make. Seems like the best all-rounder to me.

I agree Honda does need a mid size tourer but ,$11,000 for a 700cc bike is a little steep! Maybe if they could stop coming out with stupid models like the Din 800 or the fury chopper they could develop a decent bike the public actually wants!

Wonder if it will be like the PC800 all over again. When introduced in 1989 it cost well over $7000 and sales flopped. I bought an '89 in 1991 new-in-the-crate for $4500. Maybe wait a year or two and get an NT for cheap?
