Their marketing blurb from that link:
I've ridden the NC700X at a honda demo day, and it was very uninspiring. It may be because I first rode a 600rr and then a 1000rr, then jumped on the NC.

But it had a rev limiter at either 7k or 8k rpm, which felt like I was barely getting any power out of each gear.
