If you go to Google "News" section and type in CTX700, the first ten articles or so that show up are Japanese. If you translate them, you'll see that Honda is releasing both the CTX700 and the CTX700N in Japan this month using the same exact names as here in the States. It seems that they're going to have the same exact configurations as well.

One caveat: ABS is not mentioned in the article I read, so I'm not sure if it comes standard, is combined with DCT like here in the States, or if it is not available.

They are showing up on Honda's Japan website as well as of yesterday.

The more the CTX line sells around the world the sooner aftermarket and Honda brand accessories will show up and the longer this model will remain for sale. Sounds great to me.

I like how they are able to get the CTX700N in white:

I think it looks better on the "N', than the fairing version.

There are no reflectors on the lower front forks or the rear license plate holder.

That's ok I removed mine anyway.
