2021 Honda NC 750X / DCT Overview
For 2021, Honda offers the NC 750X / DCT as a scooter motorcycle with 745 cc on tap. The 2021 Honda NC 750X / DCT is built around a Four stroke , parallel twin, SOHC, 4 valves per cylinder engine, a compression ratio of 10.7:1. Out on the road, the NC 750X / DCT delivers 43.1 kW @ 6750 rpm of peak power and 69 Nm @ 4750 rpm of torque. In everyday use, the 2021 NC 750X / DCT tips the scales at 214 kg, carries a 14.1-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 800 mm and spans a 1535 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 60 kg heavier than the average scooter motorcycle in our database. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2021 Honda NC 750X / DCT spec sheet below.
2021 Honda NC 750X / DCT compared with other bikes in the Scooter category

- Narrowing the field to the 413 models within five model years of it, the engine displacement of 745 cc is larger than that of 406 of the other 412.
Versus the 2019 model
Compared with the 2019 model, peak power climbed from 40.3 kW to 43.1 kW (+2.8 kW), peak torque rose from 68 Nm to 69 Nm (+1 Nm), wet weight fell from 220 kg to 214 kg (-6 kg) and seat height came down from 830 mm to 800 mm (-30 mm). Displacement is unchanged.
2021 NC 750X / DCT - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
⚡
Strong power output: Peak output on the NC 750X / DCT is 43.1 kW @ 6750 rpm and 69 Nm @ 4750 rpm of torque - strong numbers for what it is.
-
🔧
Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.
-
🛑
Strong front braking: The disc front brake bites hard and stays consistent - a solid foundation whether it's stock or upgraded with braided lines.
Considerations
-
⚙️
Chain final drive upkeep: A chain drivetrain is the most common setup in its class, but it's also the one that demands the most regular hands-on maintenance.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Cooling system servicing
With Liquid-cooled, thermal management is largely automatic, but the coolant has a service life of its own - replace it on the manufacturer's interval to protect the water passages and thermostat.
Fuelling & injector care
Fuelling on the NC 750X / DCT comes from PGM-FI electronic fuel injection. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.
Brake disc and pad wear
Single 320 mm wavy hydraulic disc 2 piston calipers and sintered metal pads up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.
Suspension condition on used examples
Suspension duties are handled by 41 mm telescopic forks up front and Single monoshock damper, Pro-Link swingarm at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.
Final drive maintenance
Chain final drive on the NC 750X / DCT means routine lubing and tension checks are part of ownership - skip them and sprocket wear accelerates noticeably.
Frame & chassis check
The Rigid tube steel diamond chassis holds up well with normal use; on a used bike it's still worth checking the head-stock and swingarm pivot area for impact damage or corrosion.
NC 750X / DCT - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
A pre-purchase check on the 2021 Honda NC 750X / DCT with its 745 cc scooter should cover the same ground every time: service history, drivetrain condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. This model runs chain final drive, so check chain slack and sprocket tooth profile specifically - a worn sprocket is a cheaper fix now than after it's chewed up the next chain. Now 5 years old, this scooter is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept NC 750X / DCT settles to a smooth idle within seconds.
Oil and filter changes
Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for the NC 750X / DCT's 745 cc four stroke , parallel twin, sohc, 4 valves per cylinder - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. With a 10.7:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.
Fuel system care
Injector systems like the NC 750X / DCT's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.
