Thank you for the kind of review I need. I’ve heard this bike called ‘boring’ which immediately attracted me to it. I am 73 now and miss my old ‘sensible’ motorcycles. Lower C.G, lower rpm at speed, smooth and comfortable. I’d like to get one. The young reviewers talking about disappointing rpm on a bike finally made me realise I was listening to the wrong crowd. Your lovely video tour made me feel I was already on my first ride with my new motorcycle, so I guess I’d better go buy one and go to your lovely England across the ocean. In my much younger years I crossed Canada and back and later crossed the USA and back on a brand new 1980 Suzuki GS850G, so If I can get one of these NC750X machines I intend to go from my current Ottawa home to Inuvik in the Northwest Territories. My wife who says, “You know you are never going to do that”, loves to putter in her garden so I’d better also plan to send her a nice postcard when I get there. Also, I wish every motorcycle reviewer would give his height, inseam and weight, you are my first, so thank you for that.

I just wanted to let you know that I’ve watched this video countless times when trying to decide which motorcycle I wanted to get. Yesterday, I finally pulled the trigger and purchased a 2023 NC750X DCT! It was a fantastic hour ride home and cannot wait to put many, many more miles on it this summer!

Got my NC750 last month and I have to say it's perfect. I am almost 50 and had more than 64 different motors in my lifetime, this one is a keeper as lightweight balanced all rounder.

Bike that makes so much sense, especially with fuel prices as they are, great review as ever.

I have the older 2015 NC700X DCT, and I adore the bike! I just love getting on the bike going for a ride, and be able to look at the world around me, without focusing on the bike and it's power or gears, or being engaged with the bike, instead I can be engaged with the world I get to see on it. I do have other bikes, but the NC is just such a great all around bike. Cheers!

If Honda would ever put cruise and belt drive on it, I’d have one in the garage the next day. Would make it the absolute best commuter/all-rounder/practical motorcycle.

I had a 2012 NC 700X & LOVED IT - it was my 2nd bike as I also had a FJR & traded them both in on a Super Tenere & now am back on another FJR & I really miss the little Honda as it was a wonderful bike - took it from Florida out to California & back (22 days & 9,000 miles) with never a problem - it takes the mountain curves better than the FJR as its much lighter & so much of the weight is low because of the gas tank & the engine - it just flicks back & forth with ease & the bigger bikes 1000 to 1300 cc's can't leave me unless there's straightaway - I will be 75 this year & in a year or two I will downsize my ride & I will once again purchase the NC as its a "Do All" bike =- GREAT review by the way.

Very comprehensive review Mark - especially the demonstration of the various modes and how they affect the dynamics of the ride 👍. I've had two NC750's - a 2014 manual and a 2016 dct. Both were the now discontinued "S" models. With a 29" inseam I found the "X" a bit too tall. Honda have done the right thing here by reducing the seat height by 30mm which is more appropriate for it's intended use. They keep getting better and better. I found the dct ideal when carrying a pillion too. And the reduced workload, especially in town enables you to concentrate on the increased number of hazards in that environment.

Cruise control and shaft or belt drive would make this the perfect motorcycle....as it is it is still almost unbeatable....

This is one of the most informative videos on the DCT. Any prospective buyer of this bike will appreciate the extra effort given in this review. Thank You! ( though it is the older model bike.)

The NC is a great bike. I have a 2017 X DCT model, but it is an absolutely deal breaker that cruise control is not an option. Now that the bike has ride-by-wire.

one of the best reviews i have seen well executed thank you for posting

I don't really know why these bikes have been labelled, by many, as a 'commuter bike'. Clearly, they are very good at that but, like you said, Mark, they are a great all round bike. Great for touring as they are so relaxing to ride. I've, also, heard several owners say that they can keep up with the faster bikes when they're with their friend on a 'spirited' group ride, because they handle themselves very well, and you can't go at a 100+ speeds anywhere, really, unless you're on a track. With Michelin Road 5s on they handle very well ( from my own experience ). All that, and 80+MPG. With petrol prices so high ( can't see them ever coming down to what they were before the current crisis ) they're making even more sense. And, if you don't like the DCT, you can, always, get a manual, like I did. What's not to like!! Nice review, as always, Mark.

Hi Mark, am 63 and just bought one of these. Allthe bike anyone needs imo. I only ever use sport, if i am doing windy bends i use the paddles as a manual. I have done 2000 miles on mine and 83 mpg thats in sport and i like to thrash it because at 58bhp its an enjoyable power. Ihave cruised mine at 90mph no problem what so ever. At normal road speeds its simply effortless and the fuel consumption astonishing. If you want a thrill use the paddles or just pin it in sport. My previous vfr800fi was 1s quicker to 60. The great plus isit is so comfortable and i am 6’1’. Quite seriously think best bike ive ever had. I have changed all mynpower ranger clothes and now bought safe casual clothes which makes it so much more pleasant to ride. I am disgusted no centre stand £146, hugger £115, front fender extender. I really do think a belt or shaft drive would make this an unbeatable package. Test rode so many bike’s before i bought it, a dct too. Am thoroughly delighted shame gotta kneel at my age the clean and adjust chain. Other maintenance though like valves and brakes easily accessible, air filter unbelievably fiddly and 30 min job

Once again a thorough review. These should be considered like the old Honda 350/360 from the 70s. (Yes I was there.) A great bike to have for just about anything you want to do.

you are the most excellent bike reviewer ever. much appreciation from Egypt

Great review Mark Agree with ...well balanced, light feel ,great ergos and handling Negatives since I had one for a few months....screen needs improvement Dct makes you work constantly feels in to high a gear .To pass manual shift almost required if not u wait too long to be in right gear. HEAT from right side pretty bad in traffic. Finally mine had the stalling problem Honda did not stand behind their product until people got hurt in Europe then they recalled the bike I think its solved now .Too late for me .Shame on Honda how callous they were initially.

Thank you Mark!! This review made me deciding to buy a new DCT, even without having a motor licence and thus without testdriving!. This week the new DCT was delivered and my 2015 Piaggio MP3 was taken back. I am currently having driving lessons and hopefully I will pass the final exam within 6 weeks from now. I am 5ft8, 67 years old, and because the MP3 became a bit too heavy and too high-seated for me, I decided to switch. Until I have passed the exam, I must enjoy riding via KZfaq. This video is indeed enjoyable and I have watched it already many times. Thanks again Mark for your great work and keep riding safe!

Excellent reveiw as usual Mark. Already looking forward to the next one. Thanks :)

Very thorough review and very helpful in answering many of my questions. From seat height to the dct performance and reliability. This bike may have moved to the top of my must have list.

Hi Mark, I am sold on the NC750X. Wanted the DCT version; sat on one on Friday and came back on Tuesday to purchase only to find out that somebody bought that DCT on Saturday. Searched for another one but was told it was the last 2022 DCT in Ontario. I ended up buying the manual version last Wednesday. Thank you for your detailed review. It really helped me decide to get the NC750X. Looking forward to picking it up in a few days. Cheers keep it up.

Hello Mark. Thank you so much for putting together this exquisitely done review of the 2022 Honda N750X DCT. I truly appreciate your attention to detail, the video quality, and your personal commentary and opinions. Two Wheels Down, Scott from San Diego, CA.

Great review, great you showed different drive modes and tested the light/beam in darkness. Thank you!😀

I love my NC700 as my first bike, and finally got my wife some gear to ride along occasionally. I'm definitely interested in the NT1100 in a couple years. Preferably a deal on a gently used model

Diabolical too charge extra for a Centre stand , back in the day they were standard features too a bike , and important too for chain adjustment .Scandalous greedy bike makers .And these bikes aint cheap , could buy a decent car for that money .Gone are the days for bikes being a reasonably priced mode of transport , becoming rich boys toys .Rant over😞😞

Brilliant review Mark just what I was after. I recognise the roads being shaftesbury based as well. Cheers for taking the time mate.

Love your video. Very educational . Great job ! Thanks !😊

Mark your a man of your word. You said it was coming and here it is. Just installed the battery on mine today and will be out and about tomorrow. Same color but 6 speed manual. Needs a taller screen and a rear hugger. Center stand should be standard. Great and very detailed video as always. All the best.

Thanks Mark,great review once again. You have to love those dct transmissions,and leave to Honda to perfect it.

Nice review Mark. Always enjoy your input. Have a blessed day!

Thanks for the review! All the best from Romania!

Just watching your video now and Whoa the brakes are quick to respond! While in Drive mode then switching to Manual, was simultaneously swift; no chugging of the gears, just an easy switching of the drive modes😃. I have the 2018 Dct and thinking of upgrading to the 2022 because of the many helpful upgrades. Thank you for this video

Excellent as always, ordered one in February a dct in black, can’t wait for it to arrive, thanks for review.

Thank you for a very thorough review. I have since ordered one and can't wait to get on the road. Wasn't sure with the DCT, but I am now sold! Thank you!

Absolutely fantastic and very thorough review! Thank you so much!

Mark, this is the 3rd product I've now bought because of your recommendation. Only rode my new NC750x for an hour so far and it's seems a brilliant bike with 2 negatives which you have spoken about in this video. The screen is pretty good until you get over 60mph and then it's awful and in standard mode, it selects a gear to early. It chugs @ 45 mph in 6th gear which is annoying and you drop it a gear for it just to fire it straight back to 6th. So new taller screen has been ordered and I'll use all the other modes and probably use standard just for motorway work.

Best review of this bike I have seen yet Thank you

Thank you for the video was very informative it helped to like more this Honda moto.

I agree with Mr O'Brien, listening to the wrong crowd is so misleading. I have been watching so many bike reviews as I still have to buy my first big bike, and I always go to Mark Pulling 1st for the best advice. We are the same height, and the most important 2 things are: seat height and riding position. Handles too far forward makes my back ache like mad, and if my feat are not flat on the ground, I walk on. So watching these reviews are nearly as good as getting your own "bum on seat" experience. Thank you so very much.

The lower centre of gravity is a real bonus. The option of auto or manual override is welcome to help my arthritis. Being 73 is nothing to grumble about , but I look forward to riding for many more be years.

I have the 2021 and it is a great all a rounder. Gas mileage is great and the DCT is so relaxing.

Excellent comprehensive review. I like the comfort, reliability and high fuel economy at low revs. I would change to a higher windscreen and maybe a driver backrest. Haven’t seen the 2022 model yet at the dealers in my area of the USA. Beautiful scenery in your area.

Mate fantastic review from down under all boxes ticked as always the poms always show things in a black and white way. God bless and I will purchase one in years to come🇬🇧♥️🥰

The only feature it lacks is the cruise control, otherwise its perfect.

Excellent review Mark. Thank you. This will more than likely be my next bike.

Hi Mark. Thanks to your video and a few others I went an bought one of these BRAND NEW last Friday 25/11/2022 and I LOVE IT ♥♥♥

Yet another great review Mark. I have an Africa Twin but at 74 I'm finding it a bit big and heavy. From your review the NC700 it looks like it would be the perfect next bike for me.

Very good & complete video. I'm in love with this bike.

Thanks Mark for your size fitments on the different bikes. Really helps to get a idea if the bike will fit or not. Well done I enjoy your channel. Good health.

Loving my 2022 NC750X DCT. But if a bike has a chain, a center stand should be standard equipment. Also, would have been nice to have the USB connection in the frunk standard as well. I opted for a Givi screen and Oxford Heated Grips. Bike is just brilliant!

I'm thinking this would make an excellent first motorcycle for people wanting to ride. Yeah, it's a little more powerful than the normal 500s that a lot of people start on, but taking away the need to clutch and shift, I think equals that out.

NC750X It's my choice for my older years. :)

Great job! Very thorough review!

Great comprehensive review!

Cool video. I'm thinking about getting this bike in the future.

Great review thinking of changing from my Honda cbf 1000 next year to somthing lighter was thinking about the honda 500 x and this but think this might be my best option have to wait and see I ges thanks again.👍

Another great review from you Mark.The automatic transmission is really appealing.

Good review really hit on things like rpm at speeds I hope for bike too look like the 1200 vfr

Very good Mark ,the new NC750X looks like a bike you can live with,not a high reving screamer, and very reliable.

Very very tempted…I can see me owning one of these in the future 😊 great review as always thanks Mark..

Not going to lie. I've fallen in love with this bike, and the chance of me bying this over the Tracer 7 is enormous. I'll have to let the brain take sides over the heart that wants a Tuono 660

Thanks mark i am going to look at one of these ..talk me in to it that D.C.T ..WOW I LIKE IT ...

Man, thx for review. Just got this bike and waiting when snow will melt down)))

Lots of really nice improvements, but I don't think I'll be trading in my 2018 NC DCT anytime soon. Thanks for the review.

A great bike that would make so much sense in Thailand. It costs about 300 GBP less here than in GB. I don't like the non-adjustable screen, skinny bars and cheap box-section swingarm, but that's all. And that storage section in the dummy tank is superb. The styling is improved on the old model. All in all, a great purchase. Excellent, very thorough review, Mark.

Thanks for reviewing the lights. Not many reviewers mention night riding.

Thanks Mark ,I do apologise for asking you to test this bike but I missed it ,tomorrow I will go and buy one,by the way I'm 73 and this just fits my bill rather than a white knuckle ride!

Mark, really excellent review, you are my go to place for good clear info…..I am sold on this machine….I am returning after a very very long time of not riding, of course I will do some re training , I had thought about the CB500X, but having weak wrists due to my nasty bike crash back in 1981, drunk driver drove across me, I think the Auto version really would be the bike for me….I live on Jersey, small roads, low speeds but lots of cars….so now to look at what modern gear I will require, suggestions welcome..again huge thanks for your reviews…

Very Nice and through review, well done!

Great review as ever :- You seem impressed with it as a Touring bike, as am I from your review --- I think I'd prefer this to the BMW GS range of bikes which seem very tall and top heavy to me - never rode either though. This appeals to me with its great mpg, a super handy and secure Frunk (!), easy peasy low seat height ,low centre of gravity and automatic gearbox - - -I've done big trips, when you get tired and emotional at the end you don't give a monkeys about power , it's all about comfort. ... ...Certainly with cars a lot of people never return to manual from automatic, even for sports cars.

Great review, a bike I am thinking about, I have a hand injury that's making using a clutch difficult. Currently on a trident 660

Hi Mark. Enjoyed the review and have to say the bike looks good in red. It's also good to see that Honda are fitting decent tyres now instead of the Dunlop Trail max...I had them on both my NC and CB500x and hated them. Hopefully these Metzelers will be standard fitment now? I had a day run out on the manual version in Gran Canaria in February and it is...to me...an improvement over the last model...the seat is flatter and more comfortable, the front suspension seems better quality and more compliant and the engine had a bit more grunt, although to be fair the outgoing model was great on that department. As others have said, if they had just fitted cruise control it would have been ideal. I'm tempted but can't help thinking is there a possible fork and brake upgrade on the cards like the current CB500 series for the next incarnation?....who knows. To be fair I never found the front brake lacking in my day with the bike and it stops well enough as you demonstrated. Keep the reviews coming....really enjoyable. Thanks.Alan.

Great in-depth review. Thank you. 👍

Another great and thoughtful review Mark, that bike is really growing on me, make a brilliant 2 up tourer

A comprehensive and quality review.

Another great bike n review! Love the front trunk. Think am putting down a deposit on a Classic 350 next week.

Great price for that and 80 mpg! I really enjoy your reviews Mark, thanks for sharing.

Great to see a review that concentrates on the bikes attributes. So many of the reviews on this bike seem to deviate comparing its power relative to a sports bike or the fact that it's not a proper adventure tourer. It's a compromise pure and simple but what it does do, it seems to do very well. For someone of advancing age I am desparate to keep biking but have come to the conclusion that the love of my life (my VFR) is no longer viable for me. I've looked at cruisers and scooters and tbh until recently not really given the NC much of a look but it certainly seems to tick all of my boxes.

You my friend make great videos.. I stumbled across you and will continue to follow you Ohhh..and my main point is that I'm going to get one of these .. Great review my friend

great review sir! Thanks.. Guess is the one for me..

i would have thought given the target market this bike should have a belt drive, in fact i would have thought many mid sized engined bikes should have belt drive, what is there not to like?

Thank you for the night riding, great to see someone test bikes at night. Keep up the great work. Will check your videos but have you tried the honda vfr1200 crosstourer?

I'm bike reviewing/Shopping Now, I've been Stuck between the NT750x and the NT1100 ,, Even though the 1100 Comes out the showroom with some great extras, (for a little more money 💰 of course) , the reviews on the 750 just keep saying this is the best choice to suit My purchase , these reviews on Bikes are the best sources for literally anything your considering buying, thanks for a great review

Great review mark some great improvements,I like u can have dct or manual,but for long distance touring the dct makes much more sense.

Great review. I am considering one of these. Good all-rounder. I would like to demo the DCT before making a decision.

Hi Mark, another great review, Honda don't sit on there hands when it's time for improvements,this model looks good but l do like my gears, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.

Ordered my NC750XDCT today, in blue….might take a few months to get to Jersey…worth the wait….thanks Mark for your super analysis..

always great review!!!!All bikes are great for Mark))))))

Really well around review! Great work! Thanks ! Also, about neutral you canto put with your right há de and hold brake pedal ?

Interesting Review , I'm currently at 276,000K and it still runs great , will be doing a new review soon as I am doing some suspension work on my bike. Thanks for sharing

Nice review Mark. I'm about to go back to one of these. My last one was a 19 plate manual, wish I'd never sold it so a new DCT model will be arriving soon 😊

Maybe not a bike to stir the soul but I can see it as an excellent every day/commuter motorbike. Solid review👍

I think I'll look at possibly buying one of these when I get my CBR650R next year

Thanks for a great review. Honda! Cruise control option please! I’ll pay for it! 😄

Thank you. Very comprehensive.

appreciate the review thx

great video, thank you! I'm just doing my driving license, after I will by one this bikes as 2nd hand ;-)

Thanks for a very thorough review. I’m currently riding a BMW F700GS and I’d like to switch to the NC750x for the DCT option, saving my left hand from going numb from pulling a very stiff clutch lever. I’m hoping that between the DCT and less vibration, I’ll be able to keep riding into my 60’s. Thanks.

Probably one of the best all-round mile munchers you can get. Wish all bikes had such easy access to the valves for clearance checks.

I've been eyeing this bike for close to 8 months now. 100% looking to get one and can't wait to finally be riding soon! You had mentioned new specs from the old model. Is the old model you are referring to the 2020 version, or the 2021 "new designed" version? Thanks as always for the fantastic review! I'll be sure to get you a picture somehow when I get this bike :)
