This is so true. A great review. If you are interested in this bike just drop by and check my video about it.

rambling about dct and Honda in general for an hour is not a review of a bike. He can speak in h is own name but for me only manual shifter no dct sh@t.

Agreed.

I love T9, but T9 has suspension for ideal roads, and... small - for tall guys is not super comfortable, especially with a passenger. And dynamics of T9 with a different character, he plays more with sports.

I've been dying to try one of those. I'm very familiar with silver wing honda 600 scooters. I always wanted an adventure version. Here in USA...we only have the small honda adv scooter. So jealous. How do you like it? I want to bridge the gap between my honda st1300 and xr650l. Comfort and reliability with the option of rough gravel roads.

Rode this bike. That second screen is just there and it isn't bothering me. Have to say that when I rode this bike I didn't feel anything on "budget" on it. Can check my video about it. :)

I have a 2014 CB500F. It's without question the best bike. So much fun. I could ride it for 6 hours ar a time. I also have a 2021 Goldwing DCT. That's for my 800 mile a day rides.

Cb500 is more of a small bike imo. Almost a mid size. Not really an upgrade for a beginner coming off a 300 looking to work up to big bikes.

@@Zerbii apparently you've never ridden a cb500f? It's the greatest bike ever on the twisty roads. Plenty of power and torque.

@@jimgordon3468 glad you like it

CB 750 X (with DCT) with extra luggage space (frunk) and very low consumption?

Don’t you mean st1300

@@ram64man No. If I could buy my ST1100 as a brand new bike today at a price adjusted for inflation, I'd be in the front of the queue at the dealership. Cash in hand. And most of the former ST riders will be right behind me.

​@@marcvanartevelde5586 100%, brother. Best tourer ever, hands down!

Great review. I agree. Can check also mine. You may like it. :)

I am SO on the same page. Just can't part with my ST1100.

@@leoveroude4492 , For sure, i'm on my 2nd ST 1100, and while not a perfect bike, it does so many things so well, that its hard to replace !

@flexjay87 I wanted an all road lightweight so I added a 310GS, but the ST stays. It was my dream bike for many years.

Yes, especially at night you ride like a Christmas tree. :)

Definitely NT. After the Tracer 9, this is a much more spacious bike. Africa Twin is higher just because there is more ground clearance, not rider's space. The only significant difference is that Africa Twin has a different handlebar position, which is decided by buying spacers. The main disadvantage of Africa Twin is that the suspension is too soft for asphalt.

@@adv-moto oh ok! so i wont have uncomfy bend knees on NT?? cause i saw the seat height is low...

No, he's good for your height.

I'm a 47 year old 6,2 male with vast dirt bike upbringing and I live in the mountains not far from awesome rides like dragon tail and all the surrounding quad state mountains. On the street I'm still enjoying an st1300. Can't help it. I have long legs and my knees feel a bit cramped but the st1300 is one hell of a sweet reliable bike for the dollar amount. The electric windshield has ruined me. I want all bikes to have it. My next choice is a manual windshield that is just as good at wind protection. Fjr1300 is pretty decent but not for the price of the newer models....which are evolved beyond an st1300 but...for the price I'd just stay with my 2006 st1300. I have an old school 1999 xr650l and it's a heavy unit. But goes better off road than a KTM 1290 or bmw 1200gs. Both of those are great in ways but not as good on road as my st1300. So, in a sense of almost want an Africa twin and and st1300 and then something for the dual sort stuff such as a crf300 (or whatever it's called). I'm not stuck on honda because i think they are always the fastest model or most equipped but in a sense...if you have all three of those bikes I just mentioned you can fill those gaps. If I really wanna blast off road I have a 2 stroke 1999 cr250 set up for off road. Oh....another bike I'd like to add in that list....a silver wing 600! Amazing. My cousin has like 4. They never ever tear up and are handy and comfortable. But, just to outdo that...I want to try a Suzuki burgman 650! - I have a multitude of friend with the latest KTM and husky this and that...damn...they stay torn up. Never reliable. But those niche KTM bikes when running are so sweet and well equipped. The bmw 1200gs is a very sweet ride but the reliability sucks as well as parts and maintenance. My friend...who has 2 KTM 1290 adventure bikes...says he loves the bike but now he wants to go back to a new bmw 1300gs as he thinks it's more mature and comfortable. He likes honda but feels they don't give riders power and all of the from the factory pieces. I look at things from a reliability be realistic perspective as I own heavy equipment and trucks, operate them as well as repair them. I want the most trouble free machines I can find. I am so sick of turning bolts. Honda makes me turn the least bolts. A close second is Yamaha. And in a car a Toyota.

As a 76 y.o., I’ve found the NC750X with a DCT a most enjoyable and comfortable motorcycle. Low center of gravity makes for nimble handling and restored the level of riding confidence that I’d lost on my Africa Twin. At my age, with Rheumatoid arthritis, a 30 inch inseam, the NC has rekindled my love for and restored the joy of riding motorcycle.

Not for this price.

@@adv-motoThank you for your answer. I'm seriously considering buying this bike, but I'm 188 cm and I'm afraid if it won't be too short for me. From what you say you're the same height as me - didn't you feel the NT1100 was too short or too low for you? did you feel your knees bend too much after a long ride? I will be very grateful for an answer. Is it better in Your opinion than Versys 1000 (base model) or on the same level?

Long as they are fule injection and not trying to sync 6 carbs /shudder

I had a nc750 dct. Brilliant bike and just got a nt1100 . If you are happy with the 750 and don't want to tour 2 up, stick with it.

Road names are displayed in video at the right bottom.

Agreed ,I'm not parting with my ST 1300

The Honda CFR/NT 1100 engine is out of date and when MC journalists say that it is super, noble, gem, peach, etc. They mean that it is old and no longer adequate

As an ex GS owner I would point out the servicing costs involved with bmw ownership too, they really do add up if you ride a lot. I averaged 12-15k miles per year which meant £6-700.

@@shanestewart4905 Of course servicing costs need to be factored into the mix and as you say, they will be more for the BMW as it requires servicing every 6000 miles, whilst the Honda is only every 8000 miles. On the plus side the BMW engine is easier to access and so valve checks should be cheaper and there are no chains or sprockets to be replaced.

@@philiprobinson2011 when my GS needed a new clutch at 49k the engine was far from easy to access as the £1400 bill attested, a few weeks later the shaft needed replacing adding another grand. I'll take less cheap access thanks. ED: the clutch was replaced whilst replacing the gearbox output shaft which was the cause of the works and cost £600 as part of that total 2.5k bill. This on a 2008GS1200.

@@shanestewart4905 Sounds like you had some bad luck with your bike. I should add that the Honda warranty is only12 months, whilst on the BMW it is 36 months.

@V M Reality check for you regarding cold. I don't care what you do when it's negative whatever in Finland, over here people are not used to those temperatures, most don't have the need, or will, to ride below 10°C. Yet, you'll see us riding 40°C. A temperature that would roast you. I had customers from Finland mocking me for wearing a jacket on 15°C, but when the thermometer hit 36°C they were nowhere to be seen. I was cool outside enjoying the weather. One can't judge the others for having their bodies adapted to a different reality than ours. Finland is a great place I would like to visit some day... during summer. 😉

NT1100 has heated grips as standard.

@@BangFarang1 I missed that detail on the one I tried. I won't confirm or deny it. If it has, better for the owners, good on Honda.

Это живой человек.

It's not beautiful, but it's not aggressive to the eye either. It's bland and unremarkable. These days there are no breathtaking motorcycles anymore, 916, the first R1, bandit 400, ZXR 750, 2004 CBR 600/1000, the first Monster...

@@zefautino KTM offering subscription based electronic feature 😂. Such era we are in

@@zefautino IMO: The desert X, the xsr900, the gsx-s1000, the 890 duke, the Norden 901, T7, RE650, Honda CB1000r, Honda cb500x... , - just a few lovely (tricky on the 890 - but it pis purposeful and well proportioned) machines. Something out there for everyone.

@@anxiousappliance All I can say regarding all those bikes you mentioned, I had a T7, and I didn't buy it because I found it a good looking motorcycle. It's fukcing hideous. Guess different tastes... That's ok.

NT has a different seat shape, so it’s enough just to put gel, but foam - so-so. ATAS is... more difficult - endurish shape does not fit to everyone, especially if not used rail-shaped enduro-seats before.

Why?

Agree!

I love the DCT on my 1000cc Africa. Okay it took a while getting used to and now it's just very convenient on the long trips.

@@torbenjensen6236 good for you
