I have the ctx700 with the same engine as the NC. It is a very different engine and I am in love with it. Very little vibration, very quiet which is important to me, and the low end grunt is awesome. You have to change your riding style because your first ride you will immediately be shocked when you bounce the rev limiter and it cuts out on you. However, when I ride with my buddies who have harleys the ctx can keep up or even out pace them in many cases. The one thing I wish this setup had was shaft drive. Everything is so smooth that I hear my chain over everything else. I was considering adding a NC or CB since the ctx is a little cramped for a 6ft guy. I got that bike because it was easier for my wife to get on so we could ride together but I find myself solo about 80% of the time so I wouldn't mind a more upright taller position. However with talks of a smaller africa twin on the way I think I will hold out and see what comes of that.

Just sold a vfr800 for my new nc 700x. Love the comfort, mpg , handling and the styling.

I enjoyed your video except I wanted to add one thing. My NC700X 2012 did great on the highway going cross country and back (8,000 miles). Because I was packed with gear, it weight down the bike. Because of that extra weight the wind was not an issue even at speeds of 90mph. If my bike was Barebones I would agree with you. But the extra weight is what made the difference (and used up more fuel 😁).

That was a very confusing vid.

I'm use to riding my gsx-r 600 and a friend of mine just bought a NC 750x and he brought it over yesterday and I rode it and honestly I was surprised at the power. It has good power and it handles good and is way more comfortable than the gsx-r. I dont know why people shit on this bike its a good one lol.

this is what i've been wanting to find out...thanks

A lower center of gravity makes a massive difference. My dad rides a CRF450X and I ride a CRF250F, those bikes are within about 20lbs of each other, but the 450 being much higher on center of gravity means it feels almost double as heavy as the 250. That alone makes me consider the NC over a CB500X.

CBX (2019) is a bit different, was yours 2019? I get over 80mph regularly. The NC700 replaced the Honda Deauville NT700, which was a mid range shaft drive and bullet proof, big mistake Honda. I think you are right about the NC being good commuter, but the CBX more fun. Thanks from quarantined UK...

You should try the new model of the V-Strom. There is a positive difference to your old model. I think you would be amazed ;-)

A ton of what you said was straight up not true. The CB gets better gas mileage, the CB is lighter, the CB has better power AND low speed torque. The CB500x is the better bike in almost every category. Power, Range, Fuel Economy, Off-road, and Weight. Plus the aftermarket like rally raid puts the cb far above the nc in customizability as well. Neither bike is “terrible” on the highway. I’m still not sure why you keep saying the CB is wider. It’s not even close. The NC is far wider. I think you rode an old cb and a new nc. They changed the seat profile greatly. How much more commanding do you want then 830mm seat height??? A dirt bike?? The NC700x is slower, wider, and heavier CB500x.

Hello! How’d you compare the two for light off roading/ gravel etc! We don’t get the DCT version in NZ. So ⚙️ wise it’s not a comparison here. Just trying to figure out for touring, light off road, what’d be better? Thank you

What do you exactly mean that the suspension is not good? Too low stiffness, bad damping characteristics?

Which one has less vibration at the handle bars?

I never would become the Idea a NC 700 is the same than the CB 500. And no I don't mistake the GS 310 with the GT 16000i

Mine is good on the highway with GIVI windscreen and hand guards

Can't find the 700x in the UK, only the 750x? Is there much difference?

Thanks

do they make the cb500x in a dct? cant find one anywhere

DL650 vs NC700X vs CB500x

Cb500x or nc750x i have the cb 2021 which bike are better for touring ? Cruising? And eitch bike its better for back roads? And last nc manual or dct?

You have 2 KZfaq channels??

This video is full with false information lmao. I mean if you lie about the tank of the nc700 being bigger and the mileage being much better when it just isnt at all? Etc. Jeez im starting to get the idea you never had a cb500x since you talk so much nonsense

Can you Dark Side the NC700?
