I had a NC700X from 2013 to 2019 and did about 20000 miles on it, including trips from England to France and Germany. It was so awful that when I changed it in May last year, I had to get something at least a little different, so I forced myself to buy a new NC750X DCT.......

Mine is even more boring now I fitted a Shad seat on it and my backside doesn’t ache after an hours riding. Not satisfied with the excitement of constant buffeting from the stock screen I fitted a Puig touring screen. Now it is much quieter and duller to ride. And with DCT I don’t even have to change gear myself. It’s a miracle I can stay awake while I am riding.

I'm young, 35, and I own this bike. I like hearing a 66 year old saying what I know deep down is true. I look at the GS and KTM's that my friends ride but the extra cost for those bikes just doesn't quite justify it to me. You pay 100% more for a new one and get 10-20% more experience and then on the maintenance/longevity side they're actually losing. I"m not the cool guy in the fleet but like you say, I go wherever they do and if there's ever drama surrounding breakdowns, it ain't me.

I love boring. My boring life would be perfectly boring with this boring motorcycle.

Good to see another vlog from you after a while. I'm 56 and the "boring" 2020 NC750X ((❤)) is the last bike I will ever buy. It will see me ride into the sun till I can't get my legs over. I'm looking forward to the years ahead of riding on my prized NC.

I've been watching your vids for a couple of years while looking for a bike. I finally decided that boring is what I want as well. I just put a deposit on the 2021 DCT version and expect delivery in May. I can't wait for a boring summer! Thanks for all the vids. They really helped me choose the NC.

I sometimes get a niggling for something else, problem is, I wouldn't trade my NC750X for ANYTHING else! I believe it's the pinnacle of a practical motorcycle! I wish I could thank you in person for the great videos about the NC750X and maintenance videos you have put up, but here will have to do. I've put 13,000 miles on mine and it's not quite a year old!

My Honda NC700S, that I bought in 2013 and has now 106.000 km is so boring that I have decided to keep it as long as I can. I am saying as long as I can because the bike doesn't show any signs of letting me down. In fact I found the bike so terribly boring that I also have a NC750S, from 2014 , that I bought used in 2017 from my local Honda dealer. I told the dealer that I would give this terribly boring bike a good home and always enough fuel, oil, care and maintenance and off I went. No regrets whatsoever, and before I forget let me say thank you Honda for the most boring bike there is, since it suits me like a glove. Thank you for your channel Sir, sharing your thoughts and stories of a really good , boring, excellent motorcycle. Safe rides and travels 👍🏍🙏

Fantastic review, I did 18,000 boring miles in a year on my NC750X through 14 countries with a mixture of camping and hotels. I sold it and and bought a Ducati Multistrada 1200, what a mistake that was too tall and heavy comfortable saddle was the only thing going for it. Currently looking for another NC750X or possible a CB500X as it's supposed to be more off roady. Keep up the good work !

I know, right? My NC700X bores me to tears here in North Carolina, what with the mountains so close by. Delighted to see another video from you, by the way!

Because of all your boring videos about Nc750. I had Nc750 and i love every boring thing about it... Thank you man.

What a brilliant video. I’m picking up my brand new DCT on Tuesday, saw the headline of this video and thought oh no, I’ve purchased the wrong bike. Then watched it and could see you were being ironic, great stuff, happy again now.

Great vid. I love my NC and am never bored, I never have to worry about riding the bike because its manners are impecable and it allows me to enjoy the ride and take in all the sights and sounds.

Just brought an NC. Looking at your past bikes, you have had a lot more dirt oriented bikes than I did. Your idea of off road boredom would be VERY exciting for me! However, I can relate to the pleasures of boredom as I own four late model GP 2 strokes, exciting track bikes to 99.9% of riders. On a twisty road I would take the boring NC any day, exemplifying your comment at 4.20 that the road is not a racetrack. The soporific manner the NC eats up "twisties" takes boredom to new heights. I have never "tolerated" boredom so much in my life. Now to find a dirt road to make my NC exciting! Great review, thoroughly enjoyed it.

I have enjoyed my NC750x since day one. 8 months in and I’m still in love. I’ve ridden for over 30 yrs; Honda Rebel 250, Yamaha VStar 650, Yamaha FJR1300, etc. Loved them all. But this ‘21 Honda NC750x DCT seems so ideal! Low maintenance, lightweight, low center of gravity, no clutching! I’m just totally enjoying the ride and the scenery. And yes, when I bring a guest along, the ride is no less thrilling! Power, no problem… Ride safe!

Thank you for a fantastic video. I've been waiting for a CT125 for nearly a year and discovered today a dealership locally has a 2020 NC750x DCT with 650 miles on it. You just convinced me. Again, thank you!

Gold medal level sarcasm. Good stuff !

Thank you sir! I recently purchased a 2018 this past April. I’ve put 8000km(5000 miles) since then. I love this bike. I’ve learned much from your content. Sincere thanks from North Carolina USA!

I kinda knew what to expect, but I got to say that your dedication to extending the pun well in to what seemed like forever impresses me. (and I'm kind of getting an impression of what most bikers you hang out think of your bike :P )

I detect just a smidge of sarcasm here. I’ll be getting a NC750X as a second bike. I intend to use it for reducing mileage on my Diavel, and for when I work overnight in areas that motorcycle theft is a concern. I enjoyed the video, thanks!

You know, I sometimes see Harley riders on weekend tours and it saddens me to think that despite me doing 20 thousand kilometers per year on my NC, rain and shine, I'll never be a fraction of the real biker those weekend warriors who do 1000 km are.

Hello, great video. Exactly my thoughts and experiences with the Honda NCX 750. Have fun with your next trip. Thomas / Germany

Great video, love my 2019 NC750X, it's a keeper. I picked up a 2020 VStrom 650 Adventure and still ride the NCX more. Great bike.

If your manual NC is boring Imagine mine with dct transmission ! ;o)

you've made making my decision of getting one so much easier. love the vids !

Always thanks for your points of view. When with my nc750x with active DCT I drive around the woods of Vico Lake in a total atmosphere of tranquility, with the helmet with the bluetooth on while listening to the "Steve McQueen" of Prefab Sprout, or the best of the Prodigy, or a nice mix of Progressive Trance, or my playlist of American 70's Hard Rock or even "Violator" of my favorite Depeche Mode ... It's not just a "motorcycle ride" ... it's a "State of Mind".

thanks to you i have been maintaining my nc750x all by myself for a year now, before i saw your channel i could only lube the chain

No bikes are boring, only the riders. Some bikes are better than others at some specific activities. I have an NC and it's grown on me. I also have an S1000XR and that bike makes me go WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO every time I ride it But the NC does 80mpg and preserves my licence They both have their place.

I already wanted this bike but now I want it more! Just waiting for the 2021 model to reach the USA. Thanks for posting! Great work!

😂 OMGoodness mate, I love love your sarcasm! The one bike that takes everything in its stride with no dramas, well engineered, easy maintenance. I’m looking at buying a second hand one, came to you looking for the down sides and ended up wanting to buy one more 😂🤣.

Great video, very well summed up, makes me even happier with mine ! Best wishes (KB Wales UK)

Yep I've gone in 36 years from 80 cc to 650, 700, 1500, 150, 600, 1800, 1300, to the nc750, the sweet boring spot.

I had a boring NC for five boring years. It had a really boring mpg. Not suited at all for a country with exciting fuel prices like Portugal.

This is just the video I needed as i'm in a horrible situation. I've had so many bikes over the years, but mostly sportsbikes, had a bit of everything from Super Blackbirds, Fazer 600's etc, enjoyed them all but 99% of my riding is commuting because the bike is my only transport. Years and years ago I had both a Triumph Speed Four and a Triumph TT600 and they cemented themselves as my favourite bikes of all time...so much so that I purchased myself an extremely tidy TT600 3 weeks ago and I was back in heaven, problem with these is they are bastards to do even the simplest of jobs on, they guzzle fuel, even after updating fuel maps, they have the terrible throttle response and lack of low down power that causes issues during every day road riding. A few days ago a lady pulled right out from her driveway without looking and smashed into the side of me, my TT600 was a write off, as was her car so I'm proud of the bike for at least getting in its revenge before kicking the bucket. My insurance company dropped off a hire bike for me (that amazingly gets charged against her insurer, this is to make them hurry up and not drag their feet, works too). The bike they dropped off was a 2019 NC750X, I've not had a chance to ride it yet, but I knew very little about them and have been watching your video's, and it seems the perfect ideal bike for me, once my leg and shoulder are a bit better I'll be able to take it for a spin, but watching this vid has made me realize that as much as I love those Triumphs, and those sorts of bikes, perhaps it's time I let them go and just let them be a memory, and that the NC750X is the most sensible and practical bike that ticks every single thing I need. Thanks for the video, I think the sarcasm and good old Aussieness of it all has helped me see sense over here in the UK!

Greetings from Newcastle England. I picked up a 2012 NC700 a few months back and being used to dare I say a little smother and with a bit of grunt. But I soon I realised that it’s no race bike but it’s not really much like anything, but it’s self. And this is why it’s my kind of a bike now in my 50’s, to commute and have a ride out or along with others. It just works for me, as they say. “ it does what it says on the tin” Thanks, safe riding.

Im owning a Honda CB600F for 2 years now. It has 102HP at 12.000rpm. Im using it to ride in weekends with wife on 250-450km rides, chiling on twistie roads..mountaing passes and so on. The thing is i never using it at its full power...not even once in 2 years. I just want to relax and enjoy the scenery without full throtle and maximum speeds. I'm considering purchasing the NC750X and your videos help me alot. Thanks

Boring?? You don't know the meaning of the word. Took mine out the other day for a ride no more than 5 klm from home in this lock down. Now, that's boring. Great video and you sum the bike up so well. Thank you

Really loved your videos and they helped me decide buying one of these amazing machines. I bought a used one a couple of days ago, the 2016 750x dct version, 13k km on board. I love to ride this, is so easy to ride, so nimble and compared to my last bike who had double the power and the horses I ride this one MUCH faster than that one and much more relaxed and focused. Very comfortable and I really like that the exhaust is not loud and the engine has a low rumble, is just perfect for my ears. It's just full of small things that just makes you smile. I'm sure all the motorcyclists that don't see it as a real bike due to low specs and no gear shift(on DCT version), once given the chance to ride it, it will change their minds. Thank you for posting these videos, really had an impact on my decision, especially that sarcams.

You summed up the bike perfectly. The lean angle was ridiculous and never felt unsafe, which is probably dangerous. Could even get all my shopping in it with the tank space and top box. Only niggle I had was that the fuel cap was under the rear seat, so when it was loaded up, filling up was a chore, wish they had put it on the side like the bmw.

I have NC700 since it came out 2012 with 66,000 miles, I have though of trade it several times but i always change my mind with useful Frunk, easy handling and easy services. I'm easy going guy i guess.

It's interesting how motorcyclists always claim to band together in one big group hug of camaraderie but then there's some real snobbery when it comes to who is or isn't a "real" biker. Anyway, great review mate and I have to say that you are the king of deadpan sarcasm.

Im doing the same on a 2stroke vespa, buddys are laughing.I have seen the trip from the netherlands to italy ,austria and all the way down to cote azur.Love the sense of humor.

just woke up. Saw your boring vid which awakened a boring fire in me. Now planning the route for my 750x :)

Love your videos, especially this one. Am enjoying your vids vor a year now - and finally got my own NC750x with DCT last week. Have to say, ... your videos had a great impact on my decision to go with the NanCy :) So, wanted to let you know, you officially are an Influencer 😉 So, enough sugar blowing,... time to get bored! Taking NanCy out for a ride now. Have a good day and thanks for the great work!

Love the vid. Smiled & laughed all the way through.

I love my '18 NC750X Dct with Abs. Cheers from Canada🇨🇦

Great vid, and you're exploring the issue "is there one bike for everything", that's something I struggle with, I suspect most riders do. By comparison you are in the Zen Zone with yours, which is a geat place to be. It's sad but true that trends/fashion and brand kudos have too much influence over us. I've also owned a few bikes over the years including several 1000cc plus bikes, and I do my own maintenance, so two cylinders is the maximum I want to cope with these days. In the continuing search for one bike to do everything I sold my NC four months ago and bought a Himalayan. I like the Himalayan, and I miss my NC. My girlfriend and I did lots of pleasureable miles during the UK L**k Down on the NC. The Himalayan can carry two, just not as well and as quickly as the NC. Top speed on the NC is 100MPH, it'll do that solo, or as I found travelling in Europe it'll also do that with full luggage and a pillion. Fuel economy is brilliant too. It would have been nice to try an NC with shaft drive, a few more BHP, and a more comfortable seat. Great vid, and I love the dry delivery/humour. I hope everything turns out well down under, the reports we get here don't look so good, these are strange days for us all.

I’ve just bought the DCT version, and it’s really boring in stop start traffic during my commute not having to feather the clutch constantly

I like your voice and posts so much. Probaby the coolest biker down under. Cheers from 🇫🇷

I guess lot of commentators haven't catch a sarcasmus of the teller. I haven't bought it. Yet. But already felt in love with it as never and nobody before.

Cool. Very similar biking history. Same age as you. Just ordered a ‘21 NCX which will be my 52nd motorcycle. Did trials, enduro, rally, road bikes and dabbled on the race track. Really looking forward to the low revving torque of the 270 firing NC.

easily one of the best bikes for marshalling cycle, bike, and running events - the ThinkBike Marshals love them - because for us, a boring event is a safe event and therefore we've achieved our mission

I wish my life was so boring, look forward to your next video , whenever that may be.

new to your channel ,just bought a nc750x 2016 last week ,wish i would of bought one earlier ,ive owned many bikes ,enjoying your channel ,great information and has been a great help , loving my boring nc 750x

Good to see a video from you. I'm pretty happy with my boring bike too.

The NC may very well be the best all around bike on the market. The Swiss army knife of motorcycles. Thx for posting! 🙂

Love this and especially the drone video!

Very nice description and I totally agree that most safe reliable bike not fun but for me as bigner I found it very useful and fun to drive it with confidence 💪🏾

I bought my Honda NC750 last year, and as I saw the title of the video, I immediately went to the comment section with intention to write "you idiot, you have no idea about motorcycles" or something, but luckily, I held back and watched the video first! Great review man, I feel the same as you. I am enjoying my Honda all the way!

As bored as I was watching this video I boringly decided to buy this boring bike so I can be bored as well

Thoroughly enjoyed that video. Watched the whole thing. Well done. I have Vstrom 650 I feel the same way about.

Very nice review and fun. Thank you

I used to own a BMW R1200C. I sold it to buy an NC750X. The repair bills were really exciting and I would get palpitations and cold sweats when given quotes for repairs. Also, although it rode great, I was always excited (nervous) that every mile I drove was one mile closer to something really expensive going wrong.

I love the constant reminder that I'm not riding a real bike everytime I pull away from a stop and the DCT does the shifting for me...and the 3.2l/100 km, well, real riders on real bikes don't even know how much fuel their real bikes consume. On the down side, being colour blind, the light show on the dash is lost on me...do other riders actually take notice of this feature? Additionally, I love that it's not a popular bike here in Canada. I recently picked up a new, old stock 2018 with an out the door savings of $3500 over the current year model...$9200 Cdn (7012 USD, 5927 Euro) all in 😊

I agree, I have had to put up with 3 boring years of boring trouble free motoring, boring commuting, boring day trips, boring touring, boring camping......

😎 👍 I must say, very well narrated mate, be well & ride safe.

I love the sarcastic tone in your videos

Your take on this bike is exactly what i was thinking it would be and the way you presented it had my laughing pretty hard. Great video!!

252 / 5.000 After this video I ordered my NC750X DTC 2022, before I drove the BMW R1200RT, K1600B and S1000XR and I still have my classic Harley Softail Heritage and a BMW C400GT scooter. Should be exciting to experience long European trips with this versatile Honda, I look forward. Thanks for your movie, it convinced me!

This guy's sarcasm cracks me up!

That was fantastic! Hard to stop chuckling!

It was quite boring waiting for you to post again, just to see that you're more or less ok and just bored out of yer skull. Now I can add to my boredom by watching this again at half speed- the dryness of the humor and sarc factor increases by the square. Thanks for the video scrapbook of past rides. All the best to you and your riding partner. Stay bored.

Best sales pitch ever!! I’m sold!!

Thanks! Good words for good machine ) Спасибо!

Greetings from another boring NC750X rider who actually bought CBF1000 just to decide that I couldn’t separate from NC and then sell CBF two weeks later and keep the NC. I’m looking forward to new NC800 there are rumors about.

Hello from PORTUGAL !!! I've been folowing our chanel for some time, I'm 47, and I own a NC700xDct for 3 years now, and I simply agree with everything you say in this vídeo !👍😀👍😀 Greatings from this "side" of the world✌️✌️

I’m on my second NC750X, does this make me a masochist? As my bike is now three years old, and with BMW having launched the F900 XR, I was convinced this was going to be my next purchase. However, after taking one on a test ride my hopes were dashed - completely! It was a wet day, the white demo bike arrived covered in road filth as a result of having woefully small mudguards. It troubled me that I was contemplating spending a five figure sum on something that would rarely look clean. Anyway, I was prepared to overlook the this, but, within 10 minutes of riding it, it was the vibrations through the handlebars, resulting in pins and needles in my hands, that ended my dreams. I was gutted! But I also had concerns about the worrying metallic noises this BMW engine makes at all speeds. Oh well...back to he drawing board. For now I’ll stick to 80mpg, cheap insurance, having a useful frunk, bags of low-down grunt and being (happily) boring.

Jag älskar din humor och dina yuotube-filmer. I want more!

"Of course I can't have any fun because I'm not on an appropriate motorcycle." Just TERRIBLE hearing about all these BORING benefits of this COMPLETELY AWFUL and EMBARRASSING bike. Hated every minute of the video. Very difficult to watch but I told myself, "Grow up and soldier on." Really appreciate all your NC videos, brother. Especially since we in the US really don't comprehend the awesomeness of the NC. OK by me - have owned 2 and looking for my next. Cheers from Las Vegas. Benjamin

Nc750 x dct fantastically boring machine...I'm so boring that I cant see me ever changing it...man and machine in perfectly boring harmony.

Thank you for a very amusing video on the excellence of th Honda 759X. Loved it . I am restricted to what I can do on my 1200 GS. LOL.

Brilliant video and I love the irony. Just found your channel and subscribed. You should do Clive James impersonations. Love it.

This guy just annoyed, bullied and infuriated everybody who doesn't own a NC 750X, I like this guy.

This might be the best video I have ever watched about a bike.

🤣🤣🤣The DCT automatic is even more boring because it changes gear for you. Great review. Thanks. Nick Revrev

Fantastic, really enjoy your wit.. Keep it up :-)

love your "boring" story abaut my lovly boring nc.....its the best of all worlds.,im riding only 43 years , nc is for me all i need to be happy. thanks.

I love this review! You have just given a word "boring" a new, more positive and likable concept. I tested the NC few months back and loved how "boring" it was on that short ride. I own a farley "boring" retro classic (CB1100Rs) which I love, but of course it is a lot more "exciting" when it comes to luggage up, weather protection, weight handling, fuel economy etc. I am now selling it and planning to get my hands on this very "boring" NC750X coz I love to be "bored" ...in these terms definitely. Thanks for the review, subscribed

I have an nc700x with racetech emulators + springs and an aprilla rsv4 rear shock(also resprung). The rear is raised a couple inches and it handles amazing!

I just fell asleep...sooooo boring. Keep up the good zzzzzzzzzzzz

Boring is good. I think you've sold me on looking into one

I absolutely agree with everything u said, I'm a proud owner of a nc 700x and I was considering in changing into a bigger ,"funnier" bike but everyday I'm finding no reasons to do it mainly cause everything you've considered in your video it's true... There is no boring bikes there are boring bikers instead Greetings from Spain

I often consider getting another KLR or R100/7 just so I have something to tinker with over the weekend. In 18,000 miles on my 2018 NC, I have only changed tires and a chain, and a much belated valve clearance check was so boring....

Your videos are really informative and entertaining. After watching almost all of them, I was wondering if you could do one on the tinkering tools you use in your shop. Specifically your welder, and what your setup/materials were when you did the aluminum sump guard, as well as your plasma cutter.

Thank God it happened. English subtitles that can be translated. Many thanks!!!

Okay you convinced me. I will be taking a serious look at this "boring" bike. Thanks.

I was bored from the start. Can you imagine how disappointed I am, where is your very attractive assistant? I was however impressed by how quickly you got it up. I’m so bored I’ve gone a got myself a nc750x dct, how boring am l??👍

Love the vid man! Yeah, it’s pretty boring not having to wrestle with the bike every 5 minutes when out for a ride with yer mates - I normally stick a live rattlesnake down my trousers when I take the NC out for a spin, just to stop boredom setting in… Keep riding and stay safe (and bored) 💪🏻💪🏻✊🏻✊🏻🏍🏍

The NC750X DCT is probably the most under rated bike ever. I will never sell mine even though I am contemplating buying a Yamaha FJR 1300 AS for long distance (800 km) ride in one day in roads where there are not much speed limits...:)

I've been off my bike for a while, and had zeroed in on this one for a lot of your reasons as a new option. Having a same age person with multi bike experience and ownership of same bike is priceless for me. You pretty much withdrew the last hurdle to going out and buying one. Ta mate.
