When comparing prices one needs to remember that this bike comes with a lot of things that are normally extras on other bikes. The NT100 DCT is currently £13650, comes with Centre Stand, Heated Grips, Panniers, TFT dash, Self Cancel Indicators and Cruise Control. The NC750x DCT with CS, HG, Panniers is £11301 and has no TFT or Roadsync compatibilty, SCI or CC. Hopefully I aint missed nuffink. I am currently trying to decide between the two, not easy. At 69 with Arthritis I need a comfy bike and having ridden lots of auto or DCT models am sold on that for my next bike. Current bike is a Transalp 750 which is a bit disappointing torque wise, if they did a DCT version I think I would get that. Great review BTW

I have an NC ordered, I live in Arizona, USA and they say it may not be in till November or December. Hard to get now they say, really looking forward to it. I’m 74 and very ready for DCT. Like your video’s.

Good review 👍 love the big tourers

Best wishes from Oz mate another great review, like all NC owners riding in the ‘real world’ they are close to perfect. Sadly we never got the DCT down here more a pity. On a side note you may have been asked before …. Can I get your camera settings if it is a GoPro I’m a newbie and still experimenting, I have a serious, wind noise, etc. cheers

I love the NC. Came down from the Crosstourer DCT only because it became too top heavy for me to manage now I'm getting on a bit. NC is a good compromise.

Heavier than a Honda NC 750X but not as heavy as the crossrunner vfr 800x. Great review I would like a Honda NC 750 XL, a bigger brother to the Honda NC 750x as it currently looks too small.

Good review .I second your thoughts on DCT I think its a remarkable bit of kit . Been out today on my 2023 NC 4.5k miles covered now its a keeper . A great package and fit for me and 76 mpg is a big bonus too .

Great review, and yes i did say "why would i want a dct when i passed my test on a geared bike ") maybe when im a lot older or struggle to change gear the usual way way, then i will look at the dct. As you know i do enjoy riding your adv 😊

I wish this NC 1100 would come to the US, the 750X might worry me some in the middle of Atlanta or Orlando. I owned the FZ1000 as well, loved it!

You are the same as i..but only in the 17 new bike..the nc in sport level is fast enough for fast overtake..and it have god torque and what i like..have the 2022 nc whit dct and i love it no worries about right gear..drive safe !!

I own the 2022 NC 750x DCT, but have to say, @ 5:58 really good locking bike for sure. Wfit look so good. If I in 2024 buy this bike I wonder if I can get it a little lower. Same seat-hight as NC maybe? Is that possible?

Hey CB loved that one! I have the nc dct all kitted out for touring and like you i think they're a brilliant bike for the outlay. Only issue I have is the suspension which must be nice on the nt. Just out of interest wondered how you rate the inverted forks on your adv compared to the nc or nt for that matter. Great vid thanks very much 👍

Old Nc750 user, now NT user, the nt handling in turns and long tour comfort is far superior than nc750. Nc750 was so heavy for its engine and size. So if your are wondering if I should make the change to a nt1100, just dont think and do it. You will thank me later. Instead of dct, I suggest manuel with a quickshifter. But you are the one to decide.

Had the honda pan european til it gave up, keeping eye on this & bmw 1200rt ,

It’s horses for course of course, on the surface, I still will stick with my NC….for my needs, from previous bike accident some 43 years ago…my NC just does it for me…I have added a fair few add ins, but then don’t we all….to be honest I have zero complaints….I’ll never change my bike, it’s perfect for puttering around Jersey, with its small narrow roads and 200,000 cars….yes that’s correct….we are limited to max 40mph on some roads, 30 on others, 20 on a few and even 15mph on some green lanes, I find wet mode is perfect for very slow Town riding…..yep it’s the perfect bike for me……ok…..maybe a shaft drive next time hehe

Last bikes, CBF1000, VFR 1200 DCT, Ducati Diavil, Aprilia Tuono Factory. In the garage now, Triumph Street triple R, Honda NC750 X non DCT. Why no DCT, last year I struggled to buy a new one due to demand, managed to bag a cancellation non DCT. WHICH IS better, the manual is lighter and cheaper, the auto is an easier bike to ride, you pays your money, take your choice. Which of my two bikes do I ride the most? Honda, nine to one ratio

I have been looking at the NC750X DCT for a little over a year now. I am 28 but been diagnosed with arthritis. The issue I am worried about is I am 6'6, but I want a bike that is easy to ride and not have to worry about gears. I had a SYM 125 Evo back when I was 20 which I enjoyed zooming about on, but because it was Korean made it was hard to get parts to fix. Anyway, really hoping the NC750 can take my height cause I have been really wanting one.

Hi there, you can leave it in D. Doesn't do anything. Once the throttle is engaged, the bike moves. Safe riding man. ❤👍

Interesting comparison. I love my 2023 NC750X dct and the NT1100 seems like the natural progression from my bike. Considering the standard spec on the NT1100 (panniers, centre stand, heated grips, cruise control etc) I think it's pretty good value for money. However, I do find the looks of the NT1100 a bit bland, and the choice of black/ white and grey colours very dull. I think Honda are doing it in a dark red and a matt blue for 2024, which will improve the appeal a bit. Shame Honda don't offer the new Transalp with DCT.

I have a newish @NC 750 DCT with the larger screen. Turbulence is pretty bad. Looks like the 1100 is the same. I was interested in your comment on weight. I have a job backing it into my garage. Doubt I would reverse paddle the larger bike. However the video has whetted my appetite.

I enjoy your videos. Ask your girlfriend if she would like to return her cell phone and go back to a rotary phone. Just because she learned on a manual transmission does not mean it is the best. My next bike is going to be a red/blue NC 750X DCT and I have had bikes since 1983. Dave from Nova Scotia, Canada

Wow that’s a lot of bike ownership I am only on my 5th bike and two of those where actually mopeds from memory and I am 65 my current bike cb500x is 3 years old and now paid for really don’t know what bike would be next need to commute and long distance tour so many great bikes now.when out of warranty always prefer to service and maintain my own cars and motorcycles so that will be the main focus easy to maintain and good on fuel economy.nc750 dct would be great but none in oz currently but I am going to ask Honda dealer if they can find one for me.

The answer to critics I would give is that less fatigue from clutch hand and mental fatigue as the DCT would reduce that fatigue. Now in slow turns where it uses rear brake instead of clutch, when one or the other gets worn out, which is cheaper and easier to replace? Rear brake or the clutch?

How can you compare the two bikes they are poles apart The NT is a road going Africa Twin, DCt is ok until you have lived with it a while ! I did with a 2018 Africa Twin when I swapped I bought a manual NT 1100 its so much better .

You said the NT is quite a bit heavier at 238 kg, the NC is stated to be 235 kg, wet. Maybe I missed something, or the NC feels lighter because it carries its fuel lower and the engine is also weighted lower.

So if you had to ride 1100km in one day, which would be better for comfort your 750, the 1100, or say, Africa Twin, all highway.

What's cruise control like at 20 as it seams to be 20 everywhere.

Rode them both, the DCT of the NC750X is far superior in my book….

Tbh I think Honda could have saved a lot of R&D money and just stuck cruise control on the NC750X and had a better overall motorway bike. As you noted, the NC has a lower cruising rpm than the NT, it's also a more nimble bike and is more economical. The extra wind protection of the NT is a bit hit and miss too. To me the NT is pretty niche - you sort of need to be too boring for an Africa Twin but then think the NC750 is too slow and you need to accept the additional weight and expense.

I think it’s 248kg with the DCT.

NC 750 all day.Laughing all the way too the Leeds!

It looks like the NT is just a big scooter especially in Dct mode. But it would be a boring old world if we all liked the same things. I was very tempted at one point but found the weight too high up. I bought a bigger heavier bike but better balanced with low down weight in my opinion.

People dismissing the DCT is funny to me. I tried to find the NC manual, but when it became clear they weren't available at all in the US, I was fine with the DCT. After driving for just a few miles I was sold. I'm on the motorcycle to see the scenery, feel the wind and the lean. Yanking another lever with my left hand and fiddling a pedal with my left foot isn't something I miss one bit.

16:36 is that a new feature? Mossie's NT review on Knox he was complaining about the fact that the screen didn't move without stopping and tools!

I’m also a 750 dct owner and I agree with everything said here. I’ve considered the 1100 but I just don’t like it. Too big and boxy. If Honda brought out a 900 version of the 750, I’d go with it probably. And, nah then, I’m also from Notts! Nice video and thank you!

I did almost the same thing. Took my CB500X in for a service and tried out the NT1100 for an hour. Really impressed with how light and nimble it was and obviously the extra torque was brilliant. When I got back they were having problems fixing the honda heated grips on my 500 so he said have a look round and take out something else. I thought I may aswell have a bit of fun and choose something I'd never actually buy. I've ridden a goldwing and toyed with the Indian Scout, but went with a BMW R1250 gs, even though I'm not a dentist. Omg that was the biggest mistake of my life. I didn't want to get off it. So smooth, torquey and comfortable and the manoeuvrability and nimbleness at slow speed was amazing, probably because of the low c.o.g. Spent the next few hours plotting how I'm going to explain it to the wife as we were having a new porch and front door put in the following week! Anyway, 2 weeks later I got one and just wish I'd tried one 20 years ago and saved myself a lot of time and money chopping and changing different bikes. This one will see me out now as for me I love how it rides and does absolutely everything impeccably. Shaft drive is also a definite advantage too for me. Had I not tried the gs though I'd have definitely swapped the 500x for the NT100 the same day. Cruise control and all day comfort were the USPs for me.

Honda seem to be going backwards: nice bike but the Pan European had a v4 and shaft drive.

D mode is pretty useless and changes up far too soon, lugging the bike. For regular riding I ride in S1 mode.

Nice comparison. 2nd gen 750x DCT owner here. IMO the 750 looks better than the 1100. I think for the next gen 750x Honda should fit standard cruise control and heated grips. They should also fit the front end from the 500x. As for the NT1100 I would actually prefer if Honda never made that bike but rather made a 1000cc version of the 750x while keeping the dimensions of the 1000 as close as possible to the 750.

Upgrade the NC suspension and you’ll never look at another bike Just had mine in at Maxton
