Does anyone know if anyone else has used or considered the Honda NC700 (or the later NC750) engine in a trike/car build before (either the Manual or DCT version)? On paper this engine seems ideal for a small car due to it's more car-like characteristics than a typical bike engine (very good fuel efficiency, long service intervals, low end torque, low revving (for a bike engine), 6500k rpm red line. I have searched the site but cannot find any mention of it's use in a car build. Any reason not to use this motor?
