I would also choose the NC 750 x. I have not ridden a DCT bike yet. My main reasons are fuel economy, low center of gravity and sufficient versatility to ride on gravel roads and possibly more challenging terrain.
I've my 2010 F800gs. 16L gas tank, 196kg with all fluids, and reasonable fuel economy. The only bike I would swap it for is the NC 750X. Front storage and terrific fuel economy sells it for me. It is no longer sold in Australia by Honda since 2018. Why!
Maybe also mention that no one really needs more than 40 to 60 HP. We have all decided to want WAY too much engine and much too much of a bike. A bike should be less than $10,000, and as good for a commute as for 500 mile over the horizon. NC750X does it. None *needs* more than that.
Long distance riders need more than that. For the same price you can get a fully kitted out VFR1200x. A hell of a bike and excellent replacement for the NC. I have both
Nice Video ! I enjoyed the solitude of the ride, hearing only the sound of the bike, gravel road, and wind in the background. The countryside reminds me of rural California mountain roads. I also have a 2020 nc750x, although with the standard transmission, and have also added a few of the upgrades you mentioned in previous videos; the one on Rox Riser installation was most helpful. Looking forward to your future videos. Regards, Mike
Hello, sorry for the late reply. Here is the link to the product I bought: moto-discovery.com/eshop/cockpit-gps-bracket-with-ram-ball-for-honda-nc750x-2016-2020-nc700x-2016-2017.html
Hi. Great video. One minus point though... You talk about mods for the taller rider but you don't say how tall you are! I'm 5'11" (180 cm). Do you think I would benefir from the taller screen? Cheers from UK.
2018 I rode my NC Britain to Russia and back via Finland . No panniers or top case just a Lomo roll bag on the rear carrier . I have a shad seat and handguards other than that pretty standard . Bike performed well !
Hello from Vantaa from fellow NC750X DCT biker :). Great video, seriously considering one of those two helmets (and Shark one). So far probably going for LS2 with intercom.
