Honda CTX700N DCT – Ultra Rare UK Find – 1 Lady Owner – Only 1,988 Miles – Mint Condition – £5,995

There are bikes that come up for sale, and then there are bikes that genuinely stop you in your tracks. This Honda CTX700N DCT is very much the latter.

Finished in stunning condition throughout and showing just 1,988 miles from new, this is an exceptionally rare opportunity to own one of Honda’s most unusual, forward-thinking and underappreciated modern cruisers. The CTX700N DCT was never officially sold here in the UK, making this a genuinely scarce machine on British roads — and to find one with this mileage, this ownership history and in this condition is about as close to a needle in a haystack as it gets.

This particular example has had just one lady owner from new. We purchased it from a lady who used the bike only sparingly for local journeys, and ultimately decided to sell it simply because it was not being used enough. That careful, light use is evident the moment you see it. The bike is absolutely mint, presenting in what can only be described as like-new condition.

It has also been tastefully upgraded with a KO Lightning exhaust. This gives the bike a sharper, more attractive look and a slightly improved presence without being overly loud or intrusive. It suits the character of the machine perfectly — subtle, smart and just enough to make it stand out.

A Brief History of the Honda CTX700N DCT

The Honda CTX700N was launched as part of Honda’s CTX family, with CTX standing for Comfort, Technology and eXperience. Honda designed the range to offer something refreshingly different: a motorcycle that blended cruiser comfort, commuter practicality, modern technology and relaxed real-world usability.

The CTX700N was the naked version of the CTX700 line, giving it a cleaner, more stripped-back and muscular look compared with the faired CTX700. It carried a low, laid-back riding position, wide handlebars, forward-set foot controls and a low centre of gravity, all of which made it incredibly easy to handle and unintimidating to ride.

At the heart of the bike is Honda’s dependable 670cc parallel-twin engine, a unit developed with smoothness, economy and usable torque in mind rather than outright high-revving performance. It is the sort of engine that makes perfect sense in the real world: smooth at low speed, relaxed on open roads, easy to manage in town and wonderfully efficient.

What really sets this bike apart, however, is the DCT transmission. Honda’s Dual Clutch Transmission was a major step forward in motorcycle technology, allowing riders to enjoy either automatic gear changes or manual shifting without a conventional clutch lever. For many riders, it transforms the riding experience. It removes the fuss from traffic, makes low-speed riding beautifully easy and still gives the rider control when desired.

The result is a bike that is part cruiser, part commuter, part modern urban machine and part relaxed weekend ride. It is not trying to be a copy of anything else. It is pure Honda: clever, practical, reliable and engineered to make riding easier and more enjoyable.

Why This CTX700N Is So Special

Finding a Honda CTX700N DCT in the UK is difficult enough. Finding one in this condition, with this mileage and this ownership background is something else entirely.

This is not a tired import, not a high-mileage commuter and not a bike that has been passed from owner to owner. This is a carefully kept, incredibly low-mileage example that has clearly lived a very easy life.

The mileage of just 1,988 miles from new is exceptional. For a Honda twin of this type, that is barely run in. The engine is known for its relaxed nature and long-term reliability, and this example has covered only the kind of mileage many motorcycles see in a single season.

The overall condition is outstanding. The paintwork, bodywork, controls, trim and general presentation all reflect the bike’s careful ownership and minimal use. It has the feel of a machine that has been cherished rather than merely owned.

Riding Experience

The CTX700N DCT is a bike that immediately puts the rider at ease. The seat height is low, the centre of gravity is reassuringly low, and the riding position is comfortable without being extreme. It gives the relaxed feel of a cruiser but with the lightness, balance and confidence of a modern Honda road bike.

Around town, the DCT gearbox is superb. There is no clutch lever, no stalling, no constant gear-changing in traffic and no effort wasted in stop-start conditions. Just twist, ride and enjoy. Out on the open road, the bike settles into an easy, relaxed rhythm, with the engine delivering smooth torque and effortless progress.

It is ideal for riders who want comfort, reliability and individuality without the bulk or intimidation of a large cruiser. It is also an excellent choice for anyone curious about Honda’s DCT technology, which has since become one of the brand’s most respected innovations.

Condition and Presentation

This bike is in remarkable condition throughout. “Mint” is a phrase that gets used far too often, but in this case it is fully deserved. The bike presents like a machine with a fraction of normal use, because that is exactly what it is.

It has been used sparingly, kept carefully and clearly not subjected to the hard life that many motorcycles endure. The upgraded KO Lightning exhaust adds a tasteful visual lift and gives the bike a little extra character, while remaining sensible and civilised.

This is the sort of motorcycle that will appeal to a collector, a Honda enthusiast, a rider looking for something genuinely different, or anyone who wants an easy, stylish and ultra-reliable machine that they are unlikely to see parked next to another one.

Final Word

This Honda CTX700N DCT is a truly rare find in the UK market. With just 1,988 miles, one lady owner from new, like-new condition and a tasteful KO Lightning exhaust upgrade, it stands out as one of the cleanest and most desirable examples you are likely to find.

These bikes were never common, and they are especially rare here in the UK. Most riders have never even seen one in the flesh. This is a chance to own a distinctive, clever and beautifully engineered Honda that offers comfort, technology, reliability and genuine exclusivity in one very appealing package.

At £5,995, this is not just another used motorcycle. It is a rare, low-mileage, beautifully preserved Honda with a story, a specification and a condition level that make it very special indeed.

Viewings are highly recommended. Bikes like this do not come along often, and when they do, they rarely stay available for long.
