Bib, it sounds great mate. I'm going to take my seat to P&P seating, they did my Forza 350 and put a gel insert in it. I'm going to change the front fork springs and the back spring eventually. Meanwhile not been out on my bike because I've been poorly. I am going to the NEC bike show because it's only up the road from where I live. I will be videoing and bunging it up on KZfaq. Great to hear from you buddy take care, all the best Baz 👍

Yes the springs need changing Colin. I haven't had a issue with the side stand but I did have a main stand put on by honda. Also I did go for the bigger screen they do, but that was still too low! Hence the one I've got now. They also put in a type C USB, for me. I use that for my sat nav. Great to hear from you Colin. Take care, all the very best to you 👍

@@bostinbrummie I’m, having the centre stand fitted on Friday, I had the bigger screen fitted plus the wind deflector, that did the trick. I haven’t fitted the rear hugger as yet, bit did fit the extender for the front mud guard. I’ve fitted a cheap saddle mesh to the saddle, I’ll see how that goes on a longer rider . Enjoyed the video, keep riding safe, Colin

@@colinbarber9324 I hate a bike without a centre stand. Glad to hear from you mate. Take care buddy 👍

Thx Dave been struggling with my health. I'm not a 100% but I'm ok Dave. Got some more footage of my trip will put it up when I'm feeling a little better. Great to hear from you Dave as always

I've also been worried. Good to see you back Baz.

@@geoff6942 Thanks Geoff mate, I've had a bad spell but ok at the mo. Firing on about 3 & 1/2 cylinders at mo. Hoping to be firing on all cylinders soon mate👍,Great to hear from you Geoff.

Hi Danny, great to hear from you mate. Not been too well but I'm getting there. Hope your well buddy 👍

Yes mate, luckily I had quick reactions and grabbed the front brake. It really shook me, a lesson learned! Luckily not the hard way. Great to hear from you mate 👍

Thx Mucka 👍 working on another video watch this space. 🏍️=}}}}

😂 yep! Lol

Yea Neville it's a bit of a pain lifting the back seat up every time you want to refuel mate. I must admit though Neville the bike grows and grows on you, the more you ride it. Going to change the tyres soon to get better grip in the wet. The tyres on it are not too bad but in the wet they could be a lot better. Then I'm going to tackle the suspension back and front. It's just cost at the mo mate. Anyway great to hear from you Neville. All the best mate 👍

Exactly Geoff, I've got to find out about the front fork springs. When I do, I'll let everyone know where to get them, if they want to mate.

Hi Geoff, hope you are well mate. I absolutely love the bike Geoff. The weight thing I didn't have a problem with, I must say. You know me and bike seats! Geoff. That's the first issue and the second is the suspension. I intend to sort them out.The weight thing I don't have a problem with at all Geoff, it's so light! I tried my mates Bandit 1200 and my goodness me, the weight of mine felt like a push bike in comparison. I even let my mate on mine, he said " bloody hell that's light!!". As for the power! The power is wonderful. In fact me and my mate, opened it up on a duel carriageway. He said he had a job keeping up with me and he's got a 1200 triumph. I hope this helps mate. Great as always to hear from you mate👍 All the very best Baz

Wow Kevin that's a surprise! I would have thought you would mate 😠

You do matey ?????

@@carlberg6918 sorry muka dunno what you mean?

Hi Karl, great to hear from you mate. I will be checking around and I'll get back to you about the springs. I have had some major health issues in the past and has raised its ugly head ( Cancer) got to go and have some tests again. I thought I was free but I might have a different one. So I've been concentrating on that at the mo Karl but I will get back to you no probs at all mate. In fact I'll do it today and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. The hugger I got from powerbronze. I fitted mine on a treat. Sorry you had some trouble with yours. The hand guards I was going to get but had a simple solution to that Karl, I put over mitts on. They only cost £10 and when I was travelling up to Scotland my hands were freezing cold with what I thought were warm gloves. I put them on Karl and within 10 mins my hands were like toast. They fit over my gloves and are from Spada. It was the best £10 I've ever spent! Great product. Anyway Karl I will get back to you about the springs soon mate. Great to hear from you, take care Baz 👍

@@bostinbrummie hi Baz….well firstly I really hope that your health improves and you can kick that ailment right in the nuts…I wish you good luck and a positive outcome….cheers for taking the time to look into my query….it’s a tricky thing that Honda balance costs against quality, for me for a few extra bucks, better suspension and a double disc up front and maybe, just maybe shaft drive instead of chain, but of course it’s all about cost cutting, I have to say compared to my old bikes from the 70s and 80s, the quality for me is much better, I find it most odd that it’s a crapshoot as to what make of tire you end up with, mine look and feel very much road, and nothing like a semi off road tire, not that I will ever go off-road intentionally…..and yeah, bit unlucky with that stubborn screw that I cannot undo, it will get sorted by my dealer that’s for sure….I have been enjoying my bike riding around Jersey where I live, but my god our roads are utter shite….oh to have French smooth roads….so close to France in distance but I honestly feel we are now a borough of London…..hey ho….so yeah, my very best wishes to you, great you sharing your experiences and as I say, kick that bastard into touch….cheers..Karl

@@karlhoward2737 thx for that Karl 🙏. I have been running around like a blue arse fly taking the misses here there and everywhere. Dad's Taxi service! You know how it is mate. Anyway I'll put some footage up of the trip up to Scotland when I can get round to edit it. That takes a lot of time but hey ho! I'm retired, but I'm running everyone around in my little car all over the bloody place!! Anyway you know what it's like. Great to hear from you Karl be in touch soon mate👍 🏍️==}}}}}}

Hi mate, in this country we have 2 types of petrol, E5 and E10. E5 petrol is made up of 95 per cent unleaded petrol plus 5 per cent ethanol (which is why it’s named ‘E5’). E10 petrol is much more beneficial to the environment, containing 10% ethanol and 90% regular unleaded petrol - and was introduced to help the government meet its climate change targets. I mainly use E10 myself and I'm getting around the high 70 mpg. So on a couple of runs recently, I did get around 75 - 80 mpg but that was at a steady rate about 60 mph on the Motorway ( your Highway). I hope this helps, it's great to hear from you by the way. Take care out there. All the very best. Barry 👍

That’s the same kind of fuel available in Germany. Thank you 👌. Hope you drive safely and enjoy love the bike can give you 🙂

Hi Billy, great to hear from you mate. So here goes for the comparisons. First of all I like the NC 750X better. It's a more versatile bike than the Forza. The Forza was crap over bumps and pot holes Billy, as you could imagine with the smaller wheels. The riding modes you've got, Standard, rain, sports and user modes with the NC 750 X are great. Obviously there is more protection from the rain on the Forza, but that's no big deal for the 750. The electric screen is great on the Forza but I found it a bit gimmicky to be honest. There are pluses and minuses for both bikes. The list is endless Billy. I did enquire how much a Forza 750 was. I was told it starts at about £10,400. Where as the NC 750X DCT is about £7800 so the price is a lot Cheaper bike. Got the modes the Forza 750 has. All in all Billy I would make the change. I need an automatic because I suffer from Gout and it used to kill me changing gear on a manual. I completely forgot about the NC750X DCT. If I would have remembered I wouldn't have gone for the Forza 350 Billy. When changing over from the Forza to the NC it was a bit of a love hate relationship with the NC. Now I love it mate. I'm a great believer you have to live with a bike for about 3 years to really know your bike. On my videos if I don't like anything on the bike I'll say it Billy, like the seat and so forth. I absolutely love the sports mode and can't wait to make the mods on it to make a good bike into a great bike Billy. Hope this helps mate All the very best to you Mate 👍

I got my new bike recently…the DCT version due to weakened wrists from a nasty accident 42 years ago…drunk driver almost ended me…anyway love the bike, but..so angry, tried to fit my Puig hugger, the screws on the chain guard came out ok, as did the screw near the disc brake….but the screw that holds the brake cable etc onto the swing arm, well the screw just turns around and around…cannot get it out, gets first service next month so will get bike shop to fix this issue and mount my rear hugger, and well at same time do my front fender..I have hand guards, centre stand, side stand plate…about all I need….oh and my battery cover had not just clips but two screws…unknown to me or the manual…Velcro is a great thing, I have my trickle charger all hooked up…if I was to be critical, I’d say a twin disc up front might be better..but hey I,m splitting hairs, it’s a great bike, tricky to deal with throttle and back brake control to start with, but once you get used to it…it’s brilliant, nice 60th birthday present from the wife.

@@karlhoward2737 Hi Karl, blimey I wish I had a wife like that mate😂👍. Anyway as I said with a few tweaks, it will turn a good bike, into a great one for me. Just got to get my health issues sorted and I'll be rearing to go. As I said in my previous reply Karl I'll get back to you about the springs mate. All the best Baz 👍

Ok mate here it is, bought from www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk Givi 1146FZ rear rack/ Givi V47NNT Monokey Top Case - 47 Litre 👍

Hi Ronald, to answer your question, no I'm not having any issues at all with heat mate. Mind you,the foot pegs are a bit small to be honest mate. I can see me changing them for different ones in the future. Hope this helps Ronald, great to hear from you 👍
