I have the same experience as last poster but with the CTX700; same basic components as NC700X, but light touring style with forward controls. I have gotten as high as 81 on short trips; commute miles, however, (almost all highway at 62 mph) tops out around 77 max in the Summer, but what drags down my average is cooler weather. Cold weather drops all vehicles, but this Honda power train can go from 77 to 62 with no changes except temperature. I have the standard shift with the standard brakes.
This is US gallons. My results are not typical from fuelly members for some reason. Maybe the way they are normally ridden, riders' average size and weight, the fact that most Americans buy the DCT version, which is reportedly less efficient, or poor records, but I'm way, way above Fuelly average for light touring and cruiser models. I weigh only 145 pounds and 5'8"
The US does not get the NC700S or the Integra. We have NC700X, NC700XD, CTX700N, CTX700ND, CTX700, CTX700D. Look them up if you like, but it amounts to an adventure bike, straight shift or auto; naked cruiser, straight shift or auto; light touring, straight shift or auto.
Canada's a little different. Get the S I think but no straight shift option in any of the CTXs.
