The biggest handling limiting factor with my NC was the horrendous OE Dunlop tyres. Changing to Metzeller's was transformational.

Hey Yorkie a Squirrel here lol. l watched both your France rides on the Pan. Really enjoyed them thank you so much for going through the effort with editing an all. I know that can be time consuming. Liked your camp site and tent too. I recently brought a Pan and loving it. Been off a bike for over 12yrs now and the pan was an excellent choice for me. I am a bit like you a lone ranger so seeing you out on your own was so inspiring. Beautiful places and gosh you had some narrow and winding roads to negotiate. Enjoyed how you kept it real too showing you having to pull over to see which way to go and doing circles in towns not sure where to get out that is awesome as we all do it haha. Your cam positioning was great too you could see your speed and revs while still seeing the road ahead and views, so you see how you and the Pan work together. Oh if you add both videos you are right they would be longer then a Steven Spelburge movie lol. Hope there are more Pan videos from you. Take care out there.

I wanted to change the suspension on the nc750x before I went. Didn't get the chance to. So decided on the fjr instead. Have since done the suspension and it's made the nc750x a lot more comfortable and surefooted.

It's fine for an hour plus stints at a time and more than capable of maintaining 65 to 70 mph. Returning 80mpg at the same time. So yes very capable.

very steady riding will be required! My previous bike was the fantastic MT09 SP (2023), and by comparison the lack of suspension quality on the NC is very apparent! Upgrades are definitely planned!

I've had my 2024 NC DCT for just over a month now, and have recently had the 600 mile service done at GT's in Plymouth. I got the NC because of a medical problem (hopefully not permanent!), with both my feet, meaning I can't change gear. So if am to keep riding, the NC DCT was the only choice. I am averaging approx.70 mpg, but to get the higher figures, I can see that some

@kevinf-b5065 Күн бұрын

The jarring ride is cured by a Honda software update which takes 10 minutes. This is an official Honda cure which unfortunately a lot of dealers don't know about! It's only because my son is a (clued up) Honda service manager that sorted it for me.

@ayorkiepetrolhead2571 Күн бұрын

Hiya bud, ive watched a few of your vids, mainly the sh350 i have a sh300, was thinking upgrading to a ADV 350 which you had and also was thinking of a NC750 DCT which you currently have, i like the ease of jumping on a scooter an nipping off to the shops but i like a bike to maybe head over seas! I had many bikes over the years and done France on a BMW K 1100 LT which was over 12 years ago now so I'm just coming back to the bikes via a SH300, any thoughts?

The Adv 350 is a cool machine. But I think the nc750x with the dct is definitely the better bike for longer touring type riding.
