How about Edwards at Repsol Honda?

Casey Stoner's decision to retire at the end of the season has had a real shake-up for the Repsol Honda line-up along with the discussion, rumour and speculation of who will take his vacated seat for next season.

2014 Honda NC750S, NC750X May be Heading to Canada

Canada may be another story however, as Honda Canada’s website has pages set up for both the NC750X and NC750S.

Report: Honda to Increase NC700 Engine Displacement

The larger versions will reportedly carry an extra 50cc, pushing its displacement to 720cc from the current 670cc used on the NC700X, NC700S and Integra scooter. But why would Honda introduce a larger engine so soon after introducing its NC line in the 2012 model year?
