From what I could see, you left the bike in normal drive "D" mode. Why on earth did you do that? No NT DCT owner uses that mode, it's dreadful. It changes up gears as soon as possible, and before you know it your in 6th gear doing 30mph, chugging and labouring the engine and drive train. The bike needs to be in one of the "S" (Sports) modes to do it justice, it hangs on to gears longer and changes down quicker. Pretty much every review of the bike highlighted this issue, and as far as I can tell no owner ever uses the standard drive mode, but opts to use the "S" modes. Oh, and please, please please, no more speeding in built up areas. At the very least it makes us riders look bad when you post your evidence online, and worse still when you kill both yourself and some kid who steps out in front of you.
Fair comment. My point is that whilst I appreciate Automatic D mode is ideal for city riding, and offers the best fuel economy, I wanted to check it out over a longer, steady, relaxed, cross-country ride, and it suited just fine. However, at any time - like most riders once they get used to the DCT system - one could switch to Automatic S mode as it offers a sportier ride, allowing the ECU to let the engine rev higher before shifting up, and it also shifts down sooner when decelerating for extra engine braking. In either D or S mode, you still have the opportunity of manual intervention.
@@TheGonzoBiker-hg8yq Many thanks for taking the time to respond. I would like to add, for the record that I have owned a DCT NT since it was launched into the UK a couple of years back, so I am a little biased. I still stand by my comments that you should have demonstrated the full potential of the auto and all the modes available. As I stated before it's a mode that pretty much no one uses, and as far as I can see, was only added to help make the bike Euro 5 compliant. Ask this question on the NT forum or the social media pages, and you'll get the same response, S mode all the way! Another issue that should be noted during the running in period, is that the "D" mode does put the engine it too high a gear and you just end up lugging the engine. Not good for running in. Come and have a look at the forum when you have time to spare www.nt1100forum.com/ another RU-vidr, theloftybiker is a member, you'll be most welcome, especially if you decide to buy one.
I got to ride a Transalp today for a little way. It is certainly capable of being a good road bike but hands down the Vstrom is nicer on the road. Less vibration, better seat, more usuable power. The Transalp has less heat.
DON’T BUY RUROC - Pure garbage from a brand that only make expensive helmets that they come apart after a month of use max. I got two Ruroc 4.0 limited edition and one the rubbers come apart all over the bottom part of the helmet and the other the rubber broke around the visor plus one of the visors of the two helmets don’t close anymore. Think twice before buying this… and ruroc if you want to do your games feel free so I share the photos is this :)

@@TheGonzoBiker-hg8yqJust purchased it second hand, the last owner dropped it on its side so I’m restoring it with all original parts at the moment and going to have it taken for a full check before I ride it :)
Received some comments about the music included with the video. Sometimes we try to be different but it doesn't always work. Apologies if you don't like it...more engine noise next time...
