My wife tells me this is the bike I just bought,but mine doesn't have that "je ne sais quoi"as this shot.The "valise" the model is leaning on, is infact, the lid of the onboard luggage compartment.The petrol tank, being somewhere under the seat. see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YstgthEzN3U see http://www.motorcyclenews.com/mcn/bikereviews/searchresults/bike-reviews/honda/honda-nc700s-2012-current/
