Thanks Simon, yep that’s what this bike is all about 👍

Couldn't agree more! , cheers.

Wow, thanks! glad you liked it. 👍

Good to hear! Yes there is a lowering link available for the suspension, thanks for your comment.

That’s great Dave, interestingly enough since owning this one I’ve come across a couple of riders that have set up the NC for touring such as yourself, they love them. Both had come from much heavier less fuel efficient bikes and say they wouldn’t go back.Have done the Darwin trip myself (not on the NC) it’s a big ride (6400 Kms return ) for sure. Glad you enjoyed the video, ride safe. Cheers.

Thanks Jeffrey glad you enjoyed it, I certainly enjoy doing these reviews. For some buyers purchasing a new motorcycle is a huge investment, I try to give as much info as I can to help them with their decision. Cheers.

Thanks Coach glad you enjoyed the video, not sure where you are but there’s not many for sale used atm in Aus but generally those that are are pretty well kept. Hope he gets one, cheers.

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed the video & picked up on the small details I try and get in there.

Hi Scott thanks & glad you enjoyed the video, the NC sounds like it fits your requirements for sure. It’s crazy economical (I also did a video on the economy) and a pleasure to ride, I would suggest however that you ride one before you buy one. The only reason I say this is the power level is not that of Tiger or Tracer, it’s more than sufficient but may not be what you’re used to. Apart from the mild power delivery they really are a great bike. Cheers.

Yes, thanks for that. I can see id have to adjust my expectations on outright power delivery. Although I do enjoy the Tiger in that context, the main reason I’m looking to swap it out is economy. The Tiger is just getting a bit expressive (plus she’s at bit of a beast to manoeuvre/manhandle at slow speeds).

Glad I could help!

Cheers Terry, thanks mate glad you enjoyed it.

My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it, cheers.

Great stuff, and that’s what makes riding pleasurable. Feeling confident with your machine, ride safe.

What year is your Honda? I'm. 6ft2 and I think on the newer models where the seat has been lowered I'd need to lower the foot oegs or sth

@@wildeyestudios5 it's a 17 plate. 2017

@@wildeyestudios5 This one is a 2017 but probably made 16, yes lowered pegs would definitely be better for long rides.

You are so welcome!

Glad it was helpful! Good luck with search, they are a great bike.

Glad you like them! Let me know if there’s anything you would like me to review. Cheers.

Thanks Robin, it’s always great to hear from an owner. Glad you enjoyed the review, it’s been a few months now since I did the NC and the only thing I would add to my review is that this bike is addictive. The more you ride it the more you want to, I’ve done a lot more off rd riding with the Honda now and it’s an extremely capable mild off rd bike so long as you keep the speed down. Getting used to the soft power delivery is at first a bit daunting, a lot of people tend to think it’s gutless but it’s just the way the power is delivered. Great to hear your enjoying yours, I am also yet to ride a DCT and to be honest will probably stay with the manual. The NC 750 has to be one of the easiest most economical convenient bikes to live with that I’ve ever owned, thanks again for your thoughts and feedback. Please share my channel with friends, I’m currently doing a review on the Honda GL1800 Goldwing to post soon, Ride safe, cheers mate.

Gday Nigel, the NC is great bike for sure. Maybe won’t hav the acceleration of the Tiger but certainly you’d be happy with the economy. cheers.

Thanks 👍

Hi Manfred, thanks and glad you enjoy the video. Well you’ll certainly notice the lower weight and extra maneuverability of the NC compared to the AT, not to mention the lower fuel burn. You would however notice the power difference obviously, if your looking at doing a bit of light trail riding she will need a few add ins as I mentioned in the video. Iv seen an NC here in SA fully dressed for trail riding and it looked great, French chap touring Aus, good luck with your decision. cheers (go SA)

Hi Rosco , couldn’t agree more with your comments more. The NC is a hidden gem that seems to do just about everything needed in the real world riding for many riders, if a rider wants to specialise in a certain genre then you would buy a bike specific to that. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for your thoughts as an owner, I have also run the Shinko’s on one of my other bikes and had a good run with them. cheers.

Hi Rosco. Like you, I am considering one of these with the mods you have made ( but with dct) to replace TWO of my current bikes. Xmas 300 ( yes it IS a scooter but a damn fine one!) and my Africa Twin ( too tall and too heavy) Don’t need a performance machine just something which is eminently practical, economical and with a bit of add on, can do limited off road exploring ( gravel roads only). Would love to hear how much your add ons cost and which you would do again as well as what else it may need. Looking forward to potentially getting some garage space back. M

Thanks Jim, wow brand new! congratulations, enjoy your new machine.

Wow, thanks! welcome to the channel 👍

Glad to hear it! , thanks.

Thanks Chris for sharing your experience as an owner, this seems to be a general consensus. Take care of that NC, good regular full synthetic oil changes and you’ll have many years of happy riding. Cheers.

Thanks for the feedback, yes the NC is an extremely stable ride for sure. Hadn’t thought about the water thing, there may be something in that. Glad you enjoyed the video, cheers from Aus.

I used to own a transalp 650 which was horrendous for water pooling on the crutch! If that's the reason for the NC seat, well done honda. Looking at getting a 2nd hand NC soon. Great review. 👍

Much appreciated! and welcome to the channel. Good luck with your pending NC, they truly are a wonderful motorcycle. Lovely to hear from the UK also, cheers from Aus 🦘

Good luck!

Thanks Mike glad you enjoyed the video.

Well thank you very much Scott, yes they are a great bike. Sadly we never received the NC with DCT here in Aus but I am doing a review on the Honda Africa Twin at the moment and it has the DCT, I am really happy with the way it works. Thanks again and my pleasure glad you enjoyed the video, ride safe and Cheers.

Thanks Billy, the NC is a great bike but I’ll be honest I wouldn’t be in a hurry to give up a Burgman 400. Have spent a bit of time on the last of the Burgmans and they are a top scoot for sure.

Gday Jason, couldn’t agree more. Sadly the available paddocks and tracks that used to be around once upon a time now have houses on them in many areas. If all young riders had to do a mandatory dirt riding course of some kind I’m sure there would be less injuries. Cheers.

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it.

Hi Clive, yes you’ve summed it up pretty well. She’s definitely under powered compared to other bikes of similar capacity but I guess it’s a bit of a trade off, by that I mean crazy efficient fuel burn wise and very gentle power delivery. As you would know it’s a super easy bike to live with, thanks for the feedback it’s always good for potential buyers researching their next ride.👍 cheers.

I never had that problem. Don't know how much power you need to pass, but I never had a problem even on my CBR500R.

Thanks Richard glad you enjoyed the video, yes they are a great ride and crazy fuel efficient. Ride safe, cheers.

Cheers Coby, thanks mate.

Great stuff Lyndon, glad you enjoyed the video. Yes it’s a good mix having both bikes, I haven’t ridden the DCT as yes but I gather it would be similar to my Spyder. Ride safe.

Great information for owners & prospective buyers alike, glad to hear you’re happy with your NC. They’re a great bike .👍

Great stuff, I think you’ll enjoy the DCT, I have it on one of my other bikes. Took a bit of getting used to initially after nearly 50 yrs of using a clutch but now I really enjoy the change. all the best from Aus.

Me too, a little arthritis and foot numbness.

Thanks glad you liked the video, and yes I agree with your statement 👍

Thanks Don glad you enjoyed it, cheers.

You should! 👍

Thanks and glad you enjoyed it. The NC is a very good motorcycle but I might add somewhat less powerful than your 1100R. However if fuel economy and practicality are high on your criteria it’s hard to beat. Great to hear from Deutschland.👍

Thank you for your feedback, yes your opinion is very accurate and helpful. continue to have a good trip!

Thanks 👍

Well done you’ll love it, unfortunately not available in Aus anymore.

Thanks glad you enjoyed the video, yes certainly no R1 but a great all rounder, am yet to ride the DCT.

​@@standupmoto Interestingly, I've returned to this review, which I forgot I'd seen, after commenting recently on both your excellent Royal Enfield (650 and Himalayan) reviews. The path I've traversed since 2018, after many other bikes over the years has been the NC DCT, then to a Z900RS (the itch I mentioned above!), then to the Interceptor 650 and Scram (owning both of those now as I do). The NC was a first downsize after a lifetime of bigger machines. The Z was a gorgeous and awesome machine, but that was an impulsive beauty to have for a while and struggling with certain aspects of downsizing. On reflection, I should have kept the NC as perhaps one of the most practical and sensible machines on the market - a veritable Swiss Army Knife of a bike. Many bikes will outscore it on any given measure - speed, handling, comfort, etc - but few will outscore it on a combined overall. And the NC score negative on very, very few, if any, things. It did make me realise that we lose so much by constantly aspiring to large capacity machines. Smaller are often more rounded and challenging. I rarely used any more power than it offered (- and the Z was 'snoring' on the road most of the time). I fully see myself returning to an NC, perhaps when the gorgeous Interceptor runs it's course in my head, although I don't foresee that happening for some time. (I can't see myself ever parting with the Scram whilst I can ride. It's in another class). The NC and 650 are similar in performance and application. The NC has less character but it offers better touring protection compared to the naked 650 and overall easier ownership in a lot of ways. Many will say 'because it's a Honda' - but I'm not using that reason. My ideal - money, and wife permitting - will be to get another NC to join both RE's and keep the 650. The manual NC is excellent, but it would most likely be another DCT auto box which is truly amazing, especially with the optional foot shift kit for the occasional manual over ride. The foot kit is better than the bar flippers imho, for us dyed in the wool, muscle-memory foot bound riders. It also makes the manual change of the DCT one of the slickest and quickest foot changes above any quick-shifter. I don't think you have the DCT over there, but try one if you get the chance.

@@davgb7904 Gday, I read your comments twice, then thought about them and I think you are spot on with your evaluation. The points you raise here are obvious from someone who has been there and done that and still is doing it, sadly the NC is no longer available in any form here in Aus. I really don’t know what Honda were thinking, and yes we never had the DCT either mmmmm. But on a positive note I’ve recently added an Africa Twin to the stable and it’s a DCT ! Yes a foot operated change would be great in manual mode. First DCT I’ve had in over 50 years of riding and I have to say I’m loving it, certainly taking some getting used to off rd which I do a lot of but it’s great. Now as far as adding that NC to your fleet, as I always say to my wife we’re dead a long time and in my case I’m well well over half way so my motto is do what you can . When you can no longer you’ve got all these toys to sell. I don’t know but it seems to work when I put it like that to her, thanks again for your sensible evaluation comments. Cheers.

@@standupmoto thanks for the reply - I'm rarely right so even more so :-) No more NC - that's a shame indeed. Lots of folks seem to go for the Africa (DCT) as a natural progression, and many seem to regret it. I've always put that down to an assumption that they both have the Honda badge, are both 'adventure', are both DCT so a captive choice (Goldwing is clearly NOT in the same category) and...have two wheels? so one must be a bigger version of the other. Personally, I think they are different markets. I also find the NC version of DCT is so much better suited to it than either the AT or the new NT but haven't ridden far enough on either to affirm that. I look forward to reading your review of the AT, a video no doubt in the mind if not in production already. There is still a foot kit for the AT I believe, although Honda have discontinued it (for the second time) on the present NC DCT models. For that reason I'd have to look for a low mileage pre-2021 to add it. If the DCT models were the same price as the manual equivalents, there would be no contest. As it is, the extra for DCT (and with the foot kit at a few hundred pounds-UK) puts them pretty much on a par. Without the foot kit, I'd probably plump for manual now, but WITH the foot kit - yep DCT all the way. That probably means an older 2020 DCT with foot kit versus 2023 manual...probably about similar price and, oh, what a decision! Ha! Living once, yes, that's a good argument We're both of an age where she appreciates that it as much as me - indeed, we have both said it of lesser outlays. Maybe next year it will work on adding to the stable. Incidentally, I don't normally like throttle locks - safety often questionable - but what make is that one? Cheers.

Hi Phil glad you enjoyed it, interesting comment you make. I’ve had 3 NC riders them that have sold them only to re buy NC’s after not finding what they were looking for in other bikes.👍

@@standupmoto I just sat on a ,used,almost new,all black, manual 2020 NC750X with a 1000 miles on it,for $7750 US dollars just three days ago in a dealership. I'll buy one soon.

Great stuff Rob and always good to hear from owners and their experiences, I’m doing a video shortly on the economy of the NC so your feedback is greatly welcomed. Please don’t forget to like & share the video. Cheers.

Thanks Brent glad you liked it!

Cheers Mate glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Cecil glad you enjoyed the video, it’s no gsxr power wise for sure, but it’s a great reliable fuel efficient convenient & reliable ride. Cheers from Aus👍.

Gday, thanks glad you enjoyed it. They are certainly a lovely ride.

Maybe........this is just fine.

Gday Alex, yes she’s always going to feel a bit down on power coming from twice as much HP in the past I guess. But on the positive side the NC is probably more maneuverable-far more fuel efficient-super convenient-definitely less likely to lose your license-cheaper to insure-a lot easier on tyres and brakes which equals dollars-easy to service- it has a nice key. Ok now I’m clutching at straws but seriously they are a ripper bike for what you pay and should give years of service, try to look at the positives of the bike and I recon you’ll enjoy her a heap more. Cheers mate and glad you enjoyed the video.👍

Hi Kevin, yes couldn’t agree more. I’ve just completed a review of the Africa Twin with the DCT & it’s great, it doesn’t Rob any of the power . Sadly Honda decided not to bring the NC in to Aus with it. Cheers.

Thanks glad you enjoyed the video, I had a PE1100 some time ago. It was a great bike but very heavy indeed. You will find the NC dramatically lighter and more maneuverable with far less fuel burn but not with the same weather protection. Would be interested to hear your thoughts after you ride one. Cheers.

Thanks Gene, hope you enjoy owning your NC. I did a ride last wk and rode sensibly (for a change) and returned 2.9 L per 100 km (81mpg US) for the tank. I actually think this is the most fuel efficient bike in this engine capacity that I have ever owned. Ride safe, cheers.

Great to hear! thanks Tim, cheers.

Thanks glad you enjoyed the video, yes a belt would be maintenance free and quite for sure. Only problem I might see could be if doing a lot of riding on unsealed roads may see stones causing problems on the feed side of the rear pully. Thanks for the thoughts, cheers.

@@standupmoto I agree and a lot of others have brought up this point. On my BMWF800 the belt is almost completely sealed and it would be difficult to get a rock in there. I'm not sure why it couldn't happen with a chain. Less likely but still possible it seems.

Thanks شكرًا , kind regards to my viewers in KSA. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Yes they are a very nice bike, I hope you get one. Glad you enjoyed the review, cheers.

Gday Paul, biggest hurdle here will probably be she who must be obeyed. I think you’ll love the NC, only thing I would say is be wary of the speed. Don’t get me wrong it’s not that the NC is any rocket but that it’s low reviving, by that I mean your hearing and feel are used to the 310 which revs higher for the equivalent speed. Once your used to it it’ll be fine, but if it’s anything like here (speed camera crazy) you’ll just need to keep an eye on the speedo. Good luck with your potential purchase and let me know how you go. Cheers.

Удачи!

You will not regret buying the nc750x it is an all around great bike. Also love the way Honda finally put the valve stems at a 90* so I can put air in at Costco

@@standupmoto you’re right about the speed I’ve found myself doing over a hundred mph and you don’t really feel it

Thanks so much Oliver and thanks for the info on your NC. Lovely to hear from Belgium, I actually have an old aircraft in the Brussels aviation museum, originally built in Belgium and imported to Australia back in the 60’s and then I sent it back to Brussels for display in about 2000. Cheers.

I’m 1,70m height, but find the nc750x a bit too tall for me

Hi @odarge. You say the NC750 maybe under powered! How many times have you taken your NC to the red line on the rev counter on a daily ride? My 2021 DCT is far than Adequate for my daily ride. In sport mode it will get you points on your License in seconds, and out pace a lot of Cars. The NC will cruise at 70mph ( with a taller screen to suit you ) no problem. If you have regular visits to your local Race Track and try to Compete with R1's and Fireblades, Then the Brilliant all rounder NC750x is not your bike. Safe riding my European friend.

@@KTU17N I never ride on track, I rarely go to the redline. Nonetheless this NC is not as « comfortably powerful» as my older big bikes : passing cars with luggage (extra weight), with a passenger, etc. I like it as it is, but you need to adapt your ride style to its 750cc torque and its 55-ish hp power.

Yes I understand your fascination, they are a great bike. However your SR/S is also a nice piece of machinery, sadly Zero are not sold in Australia. Ride safe, cheers.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

@@robertmccourt131 Thanks Robert appreciate the kind words, yes a bike I’ve admired for some time. I’ll see if I can get hold of one, I’m hoping to do a lot more reviews this year and promote the channel.

Yes Terry based on my comments and several emails the DCT is gaining popularity, sadly I can’t comment personally as I’ve not ridden one but from the feedback I’ve received they are very good. Yes agree definitely with getting the centre stand, just makes sense for parking, lubing the chain and rear wheel maintenance. 👍

Cheers Jeff thanks mate glad you enjoyed it, yes there’s a few necessary mods needed to be done to personalise it for sure. Great to hear you sorted the wind screen (use the term loosely) out, always enjoy hearing from owners. Cheers.

Ca you please write down which touring screen & extender? Same height, so it will be pretty usefull

@@mihovilmasnic8323 Sure - the windscreen is a Puig 20752W Touring Screen (Clear) and the extender is a Motoparty Motorcycle Windshield Extension (Small) - I had to buy 4 rubber washers to make it work, though. It won't stay on with existing hardware.

@@Chunkhead thanx

Hi Jeff, SW Motech Ion Footrests (can lower approx 2cm) and bar risers (Rox 2" in my case) will transform the ergonomics without affecting the handling.

Gday Jim, yes they are right. The NC is low powered but in fairness it depends on what they are comparing it with, you sound like you’ve been around bikes for a long time? A low reviving twin is never going to match a high reviving screaming four for power but it’s going to be a much nicer long living convenient economical runaround. I have several bikes , some with triple the power of the NC but still enjoy riding the Honda. They are just a great bike to ride, yes she carries two up fine. It’s torque handles it fine but the rear shock struggles if your on less than smooth roads. I agree with your manual sentiment, I still like to change but I’ve heard the auto version is very good also. Thanks for the comment Jim and glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers.

Hi Tim, “ kilos to lbs” always a pain for me when doing the calc while on the run, yes they are a great little bike for purpose. Economical, easy to ride & with Honda built quality. And there are some really good examples at a reasonable price if you do your research.

Gday Kevin, great to hear your happy with your NC, you’ve managed to put a few miles on in the last 10 months. Always good to hear from owners and get their feedback, thanks.

Yep the seat is a full inch lower and the frunk is 1 liter larger. Apparently the suspension has less travel but better, with performance forks made by Showa.

2020 daha iyi

Thanks Goose and glad you enjoyed the video & thanks for the feedback. Like the idea of the spotlights also, the std lights are adequate but with the amount of wildlife on the roads here in AUS a little extra depth would be appreciated. Cheers mate & ride safe.

Hi ya Goose, I saw one of these today, a 2018 for sale and am tempted to buy it. I currently ride a Honda CB500X and I love it, especially going around bendy country roads, but I feel it lacks a bit of punch on the big roads. Would you say this bike is a sensible move up for someone like me? Is she still good on the smaller roads, like going into bends and stuff. Thanks!

@@martinrea8548 Hi Martin the NC is a great bike through the twisty stuff with excellent brakes to match.

@@martinrea8548 Hi Martin, Only got that reply now? Yes, I would recommend this bike for almost everything except if its speeding around the place is what you're after. I had a CBF1000F before this bike. I would say this bike all round handles much better. Great at the slower speed bendy stuff. Easy to DIY maintain too. If I replace mine then it will be with a newer one.

Change the brake lines for steel braided ones. Makes a huge difference in brake-feel and power. One of the first things I modify on all my bikes.

Thanks Mate glad you enjoyed it, have got one coming out on the BMW K1600GT soon. Cheers.

Wow 100mpg , you must have ridden it nicely. The big Kwaka is a great bike also but I understand your desire to hav the lighter bike as well, they just make life easy. Cheers and glad you enjoyed the video.

100? Must be going 55 mph with the wind at your back lol? Even in regular Drive mode, I think my max was 67 mph. I ride in S2 and get around 63, but I run it like I stole it. But I'm in the US, where mpg measures about 25% lower than other countries, maybe that's why?

@@porkchop10 Hi Jerrod, the UK & Aus gal is app 4.5 ltr. Us gal is app 3.75 ltrs, that would be the discrepancy. Cheers.

Totally agree

Hi Raymond, thanks for the comment. Yes clutch lever needs to be adjusted to suit the rider for sure, they’re definitely no sports bike for sure but that’s not really what they were designed to be. Enjoy your new ride and be safe. cheers.

Yes it certainly has a nice note.

Hi Jim, yes the suspension upgrade is a great mod if you’re looking for that bit extra in the handling department. Thanks for the offer of the light guard but not necessary for mine Jim, still running the SX in at the moment then I can get stuck into the review. Cheers mate.

Thanks Steve glad you enjoyed the video, yes I think the NC would be a great choice.It’s such a good all rounder with excellent fuel economy & Honda reliability, cheers mate. Ride safe.

Thanks James glad you liked it.👍

Hi Palamen glad you enjoyed the video, the protectors I have on this bike are Barkbuster brand. they are about 20 years old and I have had them fitted on many bikes but I’m not sure this style is still available.

Gday Joel, thanks for the feedback and great to hear your happy with the NC. Fourth NC wow so you’ve seen every model, would be interested to hear weather you have manual or DCT and your thoughts as to what you prefer. Cheers Steve.

@@standupmoto oh sorry, I wasn't clear! It's the 4th motorcycle I've had, not my 4th NC. I have a manual though, I just like being able to shift myself. Haven't really tried it off road yet but on road is great! I'm a big guy at 315lbs and it still goes 80mph no problem.

Great stuff Joel thanks for that, yes I like changing gears also but horses for courses. I have mates that love the auto, everyone to their own , 80 mph that’s about 130 kph in Downunder language. Cheers Mate.

Hi Ro, yes that would be nice for sure but I don’t think it’s an option. Enjoy your ride, Cheers.

C Cooper, thanks for the info. Always good to hear from an owner especially one that’s had the bike for such a period.I think I’d ride the 350 before contemplating change though. Cheers

Hi yes the 500X is also a nice bike for sure, not quite the storage but only two thirds the cost to register here in SA compared to the 750. They are great bikes and I would think any rider looking for what they have to offer would be happy with either, thanks for the comment and enjoy that bike of yours. Cheers

@@standupmoto I also forgot to mention as you did the ease of valve adjustment the 500 is an all day job why they didnt use screw and nut i dont know they are shims on the 500x absolute pain .

With what I have experienced since owning the NC it fits this type of use very well, fuel economy is excellent. With a top box and the added bonus of the trunk storage it saves having to have saddle bags. Fuel range depending on how you ride will deliver over 300km easily per fill, remembering it’s only a small tank. 110kph is easily maintained on the freeway, only thing that I would do if I was regularly touring is maybe a softer seat or some type of seat cover. It does get a bit hard after a while, I’m sure there would be touring seats available. Good luck with your decision, cheers.

yes I agree, they certainly tick all the boxes as one of the best all round bikes I’ve come across.

Yes sure, it’s from a company called Breakaway Products in Oregon in the US. I ordered it directly from them online, not cheap but saved me plenty of $ in fines and made those long hauls far more relaxing.

Unfortunately not but the brand is Breakaway Products in Portland Oregon US. I bought it directly from their website, it’s not cheap but I have found it to be of very good quality. Apart from giving your throttle hand a rest on those long rides it helps save your license 😄.Cheers.

ps(congratulations on your new ride 👍)

Hi Harry, yes the Deauville is also a very nice bike. That’s the one that has the panniers that go right through? A friend had one years ago and had no problems with it. Also being a 650 it fits the L class with cheaper registration here in my part of Aus. Cheers.

Hi Artie I agree with your comments, I think that because it’s low reviving people confuse that with under powered. They go fine, plenty enough to get you in trouble that’s for sure. You have some great mods on that bike, ride safe and look out for those buttholes! Cheers.

Artie could you please share my channel in Thailand, would love to have some subscribers from there. thanks mate.

Good on ya Michael, yes sometimes we don’t realise what we have until it’s gone. However sounds like you have it sorted, enjoy your new one 👍

Hello Alen, yes I would definitely recommend this as a first bike for someone like yourself that has come from a Maxi. Remembering that it is a 750cc, I’m assuming your Maxi was a larger capacity scooter (ie Burgman or similar) In Aus 🦘 the starting capacity is 650 cc or smaller. The NC is a very easy bike to manage but still with enough power to comfortably carry two people, your not going to win any drag races two up but if that’s not your purpose it’s perfect. Honda build quality, great fuel economy and the added bonus of the boot section, they also do a DCT (auto) version that may suit you coming from your Maxi. Cheers.

Hello Brian, glad you enjoyed the review, I’m pretty sure they were taken over by “ Whites Moto accessories “ Australia. If you just google Whites heated grips you should find them. I think they are about $175. AUD. Hope this helps, cheers.

Hi Julie, yes it’s a bit hard to update when your current bike is a benchmark, if your NC is doing what it’s supposed to be doing stick with it. Thanks for the feedback, cheers.

I agree 👍

@@standupmoto I have a 2019. Do you still have yours? I added Factory Heated Grips, a Center Stand, and purchased all the OEM Tail-Pack and Saddle bags, 12V outlet inside the Frunk. + a few other extras.

@@morgantalbert7103 Hi Morgan, yes certainly do still have it. I have multiple bikes (occupational hazard) but my NC is the go to for general running around, convenience plus and as you say crazy good fuel economy for a 750. Ok it’s not the most powerful 750 out there but it’s not trying to be either, the economy, ease of riding, trunk and good looks make up for that. Cheers mate & ride safe. ps (I recon that center stand sounds like a good idea)

Hi Rob, in reality the NC is a road bike with the capability to do a little light trail work. With a few minor mods sump guard / fender extension etc you can add a bit of protection but the rear lower shocker mount would still be vulnerable to strikes. I think kept to unsaved roads and non rutted trails it would be fine. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video, cheers.

@@standupmoto is the 2022 better or worse than the 2021?

@@mhmyuhh I’d love to pass opinion here but not having seen or ridden the 22 I don’t know, generally speaking the newest models have (or should have) improved over their predecessors.

Hi Matt, yeah probably an overkill. This is a great all rounder that is super economical & reliable and practical but it’s not a competition machine. However with some tyres, sump guard, rad guard & maybe a set of Renthals it would make a great soft trail bike that still cruises at highway speeds with ease. Cheers.
