Nice job on the video! I have a cb500x and it too is a great commuter and easy going touring machine, Honda got it right with these bikes and understands riders like us that don't want a bike for going 0 to 60 mph in 3 seconds. It's all about the ride not the destination or how fast you can get there. I love riding slower pace, stopping often, relaxed riding, seeing sights and taking pics to document the epic travels. Peace and Happy New Year!

Wonderful review! My own NC is a little shy of 150,000 km and still runs like new. I'm honestly so happy with it that I wouldn't mind being "stuck" with it for many more decades.

Well, well, it is a small world. I owned this bike a few years ago. I don't mean an NC. I mean this very bike. I remember putting the shad luggage, seat, MRA spoiler, centre stand, heated grips, and Barkbusters on it. A great bike, nice to see she has seen the world, she used to just Potter around Lincolnshire!

I have a 2015 NC700X DCT and despite all the negative things that every rider I know has said about it I absolutely love this bike. I had done some research on it and was pointing toward the CTX700 DCT, but I walked into a dealership to find my black beauty just sitting there and I bought it without much hesitation. I felt like it was fate and I don't regret my decision despite my sport bike and Harley friends constantly bashing it.

Great, great review. Thanx man. Not 36 mins with a lot of Ummm's, but straight to the point, efficiently and hohnestly ! God bless you with more safe beautiful miles man

Thanks for the honest review! I have the same exact bike, and I agree with you 100%. The best bike I've ever had through my 64 years on the planet and over 20 bikes owned.

I agree that the storage compartment is so handy!! I have the NC700X DCT and I can carry ( like you said phones and tools) plus jackets, groceries and more. I wish all bikes had this feature.

COMMUTER BIKE i e perfect with storage mileage comfort with mild off roading capabilities ...+ reliability = total value for money. MY VOTE TO NC700X . ❤ waiting for its launch in India.

Great video & narration thoroughly enjoyed watching this video.

Great review with real substance, have a safe journey.

Very nice review. It's a treat to look at it. You coveted the plus and minus points really well and would be a great help in deciding to go for this bike or not 👍

It's my dream bike, a first one I'm going to get at some point. Just started saving up.

Best and honest review ever brother 👍🏻💯🇬🇧

I have 2016 mt. model and i really love this bike. Storage, economics(fuel, maintanance), feeling of engine in low rpm, i don't prefer ride fast and this bike is perfect for me. I enjoyed your great review. 👍

I find it makes a great touring bike and the DCT makes riding in urban situations really easy. Rok straps make it easy to take stuff off the pilion seat to refuel. I find torque very adequate, especially in Sport mode. Fuel consumption is very good up to 80 kph, after that (panniers and top box) it increases quickly so that it's closer to 4.5 litres/100 km at 120 kph.

Best and honest review always amazing

Nice review... short and precise... loved it ❤️

Thank you for this very useful review, I am planning to buy it

Thanks for the look!

Good review and pretty accurate. I do frown on the use of the term of "commuter" when this bike is referenced as a lot of folk use as a term to put the bike down. But quite rightly you set that record straight 👍 The well known biker Chris Moss has one and he thinks it one of the best bikes he has ever owned, the review is on the Knox channel so praise indeed and well worth a viewing. I have an NC and just love it to bits. Nice adventure you been on, great stuff 👍

Another informative and interesting video. Keep it up ..

94.7mpg? lol...I regularly used to get 99.9mpg from every tankful. These bikes are the most versatile machine I have ever owned. So good I am imminently about to buy myself a nice 2024 model.

Great video! I’m on a downsizing journey and maybe this can replace my Goldwing.

About the forks...: I have a CBF600SA for 20 years now, from new. I changed the fork seals once only in the 10 years mark. They were not even leaking, I just changed them at the time because I wanted. Never leaked. I must say here that when I changed them initialy I used after market seals and they leaked in a few months... Then I put the genuine Honda and no leaks after 10 years. There was also a notch/bump on the tube surface which probably caused the leak, I made it smooth with fine sand paper. My point is that I don't think Honda sells bad seals for the NC750 and good seals for the CBF600, why..? Sometimes the part is the same even if the part number is different yes, that happens a lot, for example these two bikes use the same oil filter but the part number is different. So, either something went wrong during installation, or non genuine seals, or the tubes are not smooth even at a tiny point.

Love my NC! Great bike for everything!

100% correct, 'probably' best bike on planet for those who have only the one bike and like you, have no idea what to change too cos it can only be downhill! Bye the way, loved the seamless merge from Karakorum to Scootland, brilliant!

I keep toying with the idea of getting one. I have a FJR13 at the mo & concerned that the change in weather protection & power might be too much..... Great video by the way😁

Great adventure and review of bike. The USB charging can be achieved by putting a pound land £2.50 Auxillary to USB in the Frunk provided auxiliary power socket. Works a treat and no need to convert anything.

Sceneries are awesome in this vlog. Ride safely to home sir

Interested in how you made the elevated rack to access the fuel tank. I'm wondering what mounting points were used. Great NC750X video.

I rode mine from UK to Russia , around Russia a bit , and back . No problems at all . I love it

I have the same bike (manual version) and I absolutely love it. It has plenty of power in the low revs to make it punchy enough, while being very easy to handle because the low center of gravity.

Great review Ikram. Sounds like a great bike but I'm assuming that you would prefer your Africa Twin for off-road terrain?

Great review Mate. Love the trunk, the only thing that would frustrate me is the fuel under the seat. The hand brake is a great idea. Take care 😀

That's definitely great and awesome adventures bike brother.

Agreed, my 2020 NC750x manual had a fuel consumption of 2,9 to 3,7 liters per 100 km. Silly me, I traded it for another bike. Will return to the DCT. But it should come standard with center stand, heated grips and USB port. Are you listening Honda?

What a trip dude you're the man... I once crossed Europe on a motorcycle Dover to Aberdeen .... behind the iron curtain ... Paris to Poland , Czechoslovakia, Switzerland south of France and the Netherlands and all the way to Dubrovnik. Bike burned up there which is why I'm looking at this video. On my way to Athens Greece when the bike burned up. Never made it. I know the exact spot where it burned up. Now this gray haired old man is going to finish the trip the young self didn't and take a picture at that spot. Is this the bike to use? Mine was a 650 Yamaha. I like that size range, fuel economy yet can handle the Autobahn. So I am looking at buying this Honda in London and cutting out. So.. if you made it to Pakistan my trip back in time should be a piece of cake. No off roading needed.the gas tank thing may be a killer.. want a big tank... Watched a little bit further after writing this ... the problem with the front forks is concerning.... I don't want to end up broken down on the side of the road again..... the Triumph 850 sport adventure is my other choice... You say?

Great looking bike!! Surely, this is unique!!

Your review, and knowledge of the bike, is great. Probably better than many who have not covered such a mileage in such conditions. Really enjoyed it. I think the NC is desperately under rated and, like the CB500X/650X of years ago is destined to be go down in history as a Swiss Army Knife of motorcycling - jack of all trades, nearly master of some but exceeding most aspects. Sharing and maybe picking up personal thoughts on one or two points... Had a 2018 new for some time, and I' will have another with no complaint. The suspension is sadly lacking but with improvement transforms the bike. I believe the seat complains are often not insufficient padding (although that benefits), but its the slapping of the backside over every bump and pothole that is felt. I was surprised that as you address the 'NC - New Concept' you then proceed to comment on the front compartment or 'frunk' rather than the engine. Surely Honda touted the engine and it's rather radical design for a motorcycle as the NC aspect. The frunk is just a by-product of that and allowed them to rethink tank position.. Popular with most owners and yourself, I am amongst a smaller buy not small group of owners who hate it and /would/ rather have a 'proper' tank. I think part of my frustration is the shape, it doesn't hold most larger helmets and that the whole frontal 'tank' area is plastic (as many bikes, but that's a shame). The frunk is like a Tuppaware box, for me. The frustration of it's backward instead of frontward opening, together with the rear seat filler is just a pain. In a list of relatively costly, negative deficiencies and omissions (like suspension, front and rear, poor seat and others) I'd debate the need for a cheap USB port in that list. Yes, manufacturers could indeed include them for the few pounds they actually cost. Then again, it need only cost that for most owners to add one. Are they necessary unless you are a distance from a mains plug and not crossing continents and 'outback'? Most people aren't far for more than a couple of hours. Using a phone on a bike is very questionable even for satnav. As a commuter or even travelling nationally, charge at home, work or hotel. Besides, the seat will limit most riders travelling far enough to drain the battery in one go. I don't quite tune in to your liking of the parking brake on the DCT. You make it sound like it's valuable device on any bike? Just leave the bike in gear. Whilst on the DCT you can't, even then I may have used mine a couple of times at most. I agree, like most who've ridden DCT enough to understand it, the DCT is amazing. Those who say otherwise have usually not tried it or simply closed in mind. That said, I never quite got over a manual gearbox so bought the foot shift kit for those times I DID want to manually change. That made the bike so versatile and any rider who disses DCT should simply ride with the kit - it turns the bike into the best quick shifter I've ever tried - with the advantage that you can just leave the bike to itself at other times. I'm on a manual bike at the moment and despite my expectations, don't miss DCT as much as I thought. But it does depend on riding requirements and for the vast majority of riding situations, DCT can't be beaten. Performance? The NC is no rocket, but by no means slow for 'sensible' use - deceptively quick in fact. Anyone wanting more performance is probably out enjoying a bike solely for their own pleasure...but at the expense of most others.

The NC (new concept) moniker didn’t relate to the frunk it was purely about the engine design (not even the DCT part). The frunk had been done previously by others.

I was thinking of getting the Rebel DCT, but after watching this video, maybe the 750x would be better? Having the option to go off-road if needed to see more is always great. Yeah, it's not the best at doing it, but from what I saw, it's good enough.

My top 3 of this type of bike that I'd love to own are 1)NT1100, 2)NC750X, 3)CB500X

Yeah my 2 peevees are the refuelling with a load and usb. Pretty nice that a vommuter bike can race. I am pro Honda since having used Honda most of my biking time. Seems nice enough... now for the local price comparison 🤔

Good video, thank you. I have the same bike. What tyres have you used on the way to Pakistan/ China border? I assume you had to change them at least 1-2 times during 20k miles route.. Did you buy them locally? Have you planned it upfront or you bought what was available?

An Amaizing content my dear👌🏻 Full watched 💯with a big thumbs up💗👍🏼 stay blessed 💥 share more like wise🤗💗

Chopin's Funeral March for the specs section? There must be something more jolly.

great video

I am thinking about getting one of these.

Very interesting review. Thank you. I have my heart set on this bike, the NC750X dct. However, do you think the bike would be fine for a 6ft 1-inch person?

Hi ! Thanks for sharing your amazing experience with us. Astonishing travel .. I am looking to buy a motorbike, I am over 50 .. and I am balancing between NC and Tracer 7 GT... What do you think from your experience ? Thanks in advance for your replay !

Can you comment on chain maintenance, operator approach? (I was thinking of shaft)… was it a challenge for you in your travels? Great video!

Lovely review by the way what do you think the bike would be like with 20st rider. Thanks

Good video.

Agreed about USB ports. 👊👍

How would you rate the comfort level? I’m assuming it’s pretty comfortable from all your riding but I’d still be interested to know. I got the CB650R last year and despite me getting a custom seat, I still can’t ride more than 2 hours without walking like a cowgirl🤣 so I’ve been eyeing this bike for absolute comfort and long riding. Great vid btw, absolutely lovely scenery!! Makes me want to be there!

👍💯

On a normal bike you can park on a hill easily by just leaving it in gear. The handbrake is needed because you can’t leave the DCT in gear.

MashALLAH Awesome 👍 Stay Blessed 😇 🇨🇳🇵🇰

These bikes are 100%impressive… I’m just hoping that the new 750 twin adventure does not replace the NC format.

Great Review!!

Na minha NC750X DCT, adaptei o protetor de amortecedor traseiro da CRF 250 ou pode ser da XRE 300

Probably should be pointed out that this applies to pre 21 bikes as the model change lowered the ground clearance of the bike.

I see these MPG demonstrations. Is there a difference in volume between between freedom units gallon and common sense gallon?

What are your suggestions on an effective suspension upgrade please?

How is the bike riding with a passenger. My gf and i are about the same size 5'8 and 140. And im wanting a bike for daily comutting and riding with her to hikes. Love the frunk because its one less helmet we need to carry on a hike

So ok for smooth trails and dirt roads.

Where were you riding around 4:00and around 7:00? Looks amazing.

I am returning tomorrow, on 2023 nc 750 xd..... Now I can't sleep.....

just finished my shopping stuff, storage is magnificant. what i dont like is the wheel distance, makes the bike huge to park backwards or make tight u turns bit shitty. and you cant rev bomb with dct :P

the good ever bike with a nice biker on it 😘

Loved my nc but hated dct. Sold it because of that..my 2021 was defo not slow in sport mode

Good review but I don't get the issue with fueling, touring I have a dry bag and if camping tent and stuff but I just release 2 clips and take the bag off. Doesn't take 10 seconds.

👍🏼

Wow stunning, where are you driving?

I'm planning to buy this as my first bike, I don't know how good of a choice to buy a dct as a first bike is thou

Plainly, this is not the appropriate bike for this type of trip. A 'true' adventure bike with a larger tank, more ground clearance and tires with a more aggressive tread would have served you better. But as you stated, the fuel economy helps to make up for the smaller tank.

How does this bike feel cruising about 80mph (129 kmh)? I'd want to be comfortable maintaining the average freeway speed here if I'm going long distance.

Adding a usb charger and re-routing the gas cap opening to the upper side (e.g. bmw f700gs) would be very inexpensive propositions for Honda. For calling it an adventure bike, the gas cap location loses a lot of potential sales for Honda.

it had been a while how are you my friends?

Oh I hear those GarageBand loops.

AsSAlamualaikum 👍🏻❤️

Why not just remove the rear seat when carrying luggage?

92th like byc is my weakness I don't know whenever I see byc I want to drive it 😁😁 ccfg##

Man, why did you use the Burial March as music to the vid? Some dark humour I don't get? Did you die at the end of this trip? Did the bike die?

1:17 ....."so folks i just want to show you a little bit of offroading".....as he rides along a dirt road.....hmmm....ok chum

235 Kg? 520lbs dang that is a lil porky for a P-twin- 750.

أنا أهوى هذه الدراجة ولكني لااملك ثمنها حاليا أحلم بها فقط حالي كحال كل العرب أمثالي ولكن لاأعلم بالغيب الكريم الله .

Danse Macabre? Is the bike dead? 😂

your carrying a lot of weight so would change thing mybe

Ccfg#

there has gt to be a tanklike a cb500x fuel tank or someoter honda that should look the same and fit haha that's only thing putting me off

Stop making reviews about this bike. I don't want people falling in love with it and wanting one. I am waiting for prices to drop here in the USA. 😉

I lik 🚲🥳
