NC750x Review & Testdrive 

Hi CagerOnTwoWheels Always a pleasure to watch your videos. I bought my NC700x last year in July and have been enjoying every ride with it. I love the bike so much I took it on a 4600 km, two up, full Givi Pannier set plus a full size ruck sack on a trip from Northampton in the UK to Hungary over the last two weeks... Now I love the bike even more! To you folks thinking of getting either of these bikes, It's a great bike regardless of whether you're new to biking or been at it for years. My bike dealt with the traffic, kept up with other bikers and was miles better on fuel than pretty much all of the other bikes we met on the route. This alone was a continuous talking point of the trip. I don't want to hug this comments piece but wanted to let you all know this bike is much more than just a commuter, it's a fantastic all rounder. Have fun and be safe out there.

The best reviewer of 2013 returns with another excellent review. Really enjoy your vids:)

Bought the 750S. Great bike, especially for novices. Dead easy to ride, extremely stable, smooth and torquey.

Cager, I've not been on a bike in a long time after having a serious accident when I was 19. With your and Riding With Tom's vlogs, I've decided to get trained and back in the saddle. I thank you for that. Wish me luck with my CBT tomorrow.

I just picked up an 2012 NC700X with 33K miles - loving it. Your review is spot on in every detail.

Thank you for your excellent thorough review. I'm glad to see that if you had a choice between a discounted 700, or the 750 you would still choose the 750.

Yep, have to say, you are one of the best bike reviewers on youtube. My pet hate is blaring music all the way through a video. I'd much rather hear the engine noise and what the rider thinks. Great vid.

i bought the 2014 in april 2015 ...i drooled over the videos all winter long and being from canada there lonnnnng winters i didnt get to ride alot this summer between work and weather but i love this bike and made the decision to buy it from watching cagers videos thank you very much cager ....keep up the good vids :D

Portugal is absolutely beautiful!

Hallo Cager, die NC750X habe ich bestellt und bekomme sie in ca. 5 Wochen. Dank Deines Videos ist die Vorfreude noch größer :-) Deine Testrunden sind einfach klasse!

Dude have you lived in the UK in the past? Your English is fantastic, you seem to know words & sayings I wouldn't expect a foreign national to know. Well done on the channel/videos it's nice to see/hear someone so passionate about bike & riding.

27km per litre! For a 700 cc? Amazing!! Definitely on my wish list. Great job Cager!!

I've had a 750S for 18 months, took a CB650F inline four out for a test ride recently. Unlike the NC you have to rev the CB hard to get real power. It can certainly shift but the lower rev range isn't much use. The very strong, instant torque of the NC makes it a more flexible, practical (and still fun) bike in everyday use.

nice... but what about DCT?

Very nice review and great channel overall. I have been watching you for a year, now, and today I subscribed. I have been driving cars for 10 years and now I am willing to get my license this spring and buy a bike. Your reviews have been perfect for me. Thanks!

I have a honda integra which i've been riding for 18 months and it has been a truly lovely bike, I'm trading it for a new NC750X in silver on the 1st of march 2014 I'm really looking forward to it. And thank you for your Review it was very helpful. Keep up the good work. David

You definitely do some great work at making reviews. I'm a motorcycle noob and I learn a lot from your reviews. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Had the 750S version for a year (great bike), just rode the X as a courtesy bike. If you're thinking of an NC, test ride both. The S has a slightly firmer ride - less suspension travel so it handles better. It also feels noticeably more planted on the road.

Thanks for the written conversion from km to miles for your US viewers:)

Should I go on the automatic version? Or manual? I am kind of lazy and I use it mostly inside the city. What do you think? Have you tried riding on it? Thanks!

When will we see the S review?

Just test rode the NC750, the old NC700 and the CB500F. The NCs have a LOT more torque than the CB. The 750 is noticeably smoother than its 700 predecessor. It's also higher geared and clearly punchier. A significant improvement in my view.

Thanks for the review, you convinced me and I picked the bike up this week. Realy enjoy it!!

Hey ! Your video review was very helpful for me to take the decision to buy NC750X . A very all-round bike that can handle most things. Thank you very much .

Cager - That was a superb review. You need to turn professional. You also manage to ride very tidily, which cannot be too easy if you are also thinking about your commentary. As someone who is thinking about getting an NC750X I found the clip very helpful. Many thanks.

Wow, sounds like it's an awesome bike. Really not a fan of the looks but the practicality is damn-near unbeatable...

good news with the new improvements on the new NC750X i wish that gear indicator was standard on the cb500 series too. the sad thing is that the NC is no longer an A2 license bike, which for me was more in within reach to a more lot of people.

I love your reviews dude! I want to buy a 750 x dct! You recommend it?

I think the nc750x is the automatic one, the nc750 is the geared one which you are riding in the video

2:45 3 horses? 48 to 55 is 7 more. Everywhere i have seen the stats on them it says 48 for the 700 and 55 for the 750

I think the ONLY reason Honda 'upgraded' this bike was to get it out of the A2 segment because the CB500s were cutting into the sales, big time.

Nice. Love the trunk, fits my axe.

I thought it was DCT but I noticed 2 levers so obviously this is manual shifting only

This right here? This is a great review. Really considering this as an upgrade to my Ninja 250 for touring. Probably need to add a larger windscreen, but it already has storage...

The NC gets about the same mileage as the Honda VTR 250 FI which is a twin cylinder engine. I'd much rather have the NC700 or NC750 that has a lot more torque because on a 250 you really do have to rev the engine quite a bit which can get a little annoying in stop and go traffic.

If it had been kept down to lower than 190kgs (wet) I would have considered it, but it is slightly too heavy. Good review though.

I really hope the 750 comes to the US.

Oh! A great review comparing the older and the new model. Thank you very much Cager, you just explained how Honda fixed almost every detail that i didn't like on the Original NC700 series. I would love you to (sometime) test drive some oldies like the Suzuki GS500 and know what you think about her. I happen to have a GS500 and i'm not sure wich one will be the next lady. I'm between the NC750S (After your review, more than ever), or a CBF600N.

Waiting for DCT on your channel. Not that I have anything to check, I already bought the bike. But this is missing from cagers hands.

I had a test ride of the 750 thought it was good but couldn't get used to the 6500 rev limiter, kept cutting in when overtaking, loved the torque though, in the end went for the mt07 same torque more power and lighter.

Honda should be sponsoring you!

Hi Cager nice review, just sold my cb500x and bought one of these. price in Ireland is 8600euro.............dave

why a city motorcycle? I have a Nc 750x dct and I have often been with it in the Swiss and Austrian Alps with a full top box, side cases and tank bag with various camping items lashed on top. offroad driving is also no problem if you take it easy! and yes you can also drive it in the city if you are not adventurous😎

...and the final fuel consumption was...?

Great review, I like NC700X very much (I don't own any yet), but NC750X is even better and it's my choice no.1 now... :)

Good review Cager, with the 750x now in the shops they're big savings to be had on the 700x. I bought a 700x dct two weeks ago and saved £1300 off the RRP just because there was a 750x sat right next to the one i bought, do i think the upgrades to the new one are worth £1300 that i saved Derrrrrrrrr nope. Spleenkiller out....

what about the suspension? i think it is a bit hard...like the nc700 ... from the BMW GS

You really should try testdriving and review a Versys 650!

8:38 I'd you're 5 foot 7 inches tall, and I'm assuming your inseam is around 29 inches, and you're at the edge of good comfort o. That nc750x, then I trust that my 31 to 32 inch inseam 5 foot 9 inches self should be perfectly comfy. Thanks for the info and video. Cheers!

Estou a pensar comprar uma mas estou com duvidas sobre a suspensao..venho duma naked e nao quero sofrer mais das costas lol e das epicondilites nos cotovelos lol

I need to see you review the Nuda 900R!

Thanks for this video. I really wanted to know if this bike is any good. Cheers mate.

Excellent review! Have you tried and compared the DCT version?

My carbureted K4 Kawasaki Vulcan en500 ltd, get's as of last tank the same mpg, as the bike you're on, and it puts out 50 hp, about the same, it has done even better up to 74 mpg, not sure what that would be in LT's ? If only my bike was FI, it could do even better, or not ? lol... I like the nc750x for my type of riding, but it's not sold in the US, for some stupid reason, maybe they send them all to your neck of the woods, who knows ?? Sure not me..Good job. yl

Hey, great review. I am planning to buy a NC750X myself and still can't decide which one I should take. With DCT or manual transmission. I've already tested the CTX700N and really enjoyed it. But its also fun to manually shift the gears. Any recommendations?

camera or microphone are you using the sound is amazing. when I am recording I only get sound of wind or sound of the camera vibrating. by the way it's kind of a GoPro in a waterproof case

+david I would like your first-hand opinion because you're switching from Integra to NC750X. I got crazy about Integra and trying to get one, but 2.000€ price difference made me rethink NC750X DCT. I need you riding experience of the two: is there a lot of wind in the body and legs on 750X when compared to Integra? I like long rides and drive year around, and my only concern is that if I get 750X I'll be freezing my butt off. +CagerOnTwoWheels need your opinion too, pls compare wind protection on Integra

pls compare with versys 650

give us more reiviews xD you are the best!

Hi all, I had the NC700x from brand new in September 2013, it was my first bike and I loved it. Put on 2800 mile sin 8 weeks. Sadly I came off in heavy rain when I hit some diesel, it wrote the bike off. I know have the NC750x and it is a whole better bike, a full 750cc compared ot the 670 of the 700, 10 more bhs and 10pb more torque. The suspension is stiffer as well, which is much better for 2 up than the 700. The seat cover is also better reducing slippage. The big downside ot this version were the tyres, Dunlop Trailmax are rubbish, mine didnt last 3000 miles and some members of the nc700.co.uk owners club have had to change them at less that 2000 miles. The issue has been taken up with Honda and in turn with Dunlop, if you are looking to buy this model, please ensure it does not come with those tyres. I now have Michelin Road :Pilot 4's and they superb.

Cb650f or nc750x or mt07 or mt 09?

Hi for a fun weekend bike, which would you recommend? MT07 or the NC750? thanks

how about kawasaki versys?

Fantastic video , your so funny! Which city is this? so beautiful.

Hi Cager, once again a great review from you with lots of useful informations on this bike. I have been ridding a Yamaha xmax 400 and it is time to step up. Mostly computing in London but I would also like to do some touring with my partner. Considering this info which bike would you recommend? Yamaha Tracer 700, Kawasaki Versys 650 or Honda XC750 ? If someone else would like to reply to my question please do not hesitate. Many thanks, B

Oi Cager, tudo bem? I'm a young 42 year old, been riding a Vespa for many years and for the last year a Varadero 125. I really only use my bike for commuting within central London 12 miles a day round trip (but would do more if I had a decent bike I suppose). I' ve decided to get a bigger bike because the 125 is just sooooo frustrating sometimes - noisy, first gear is like reverse etc etc. So: I'm between the NC750X, the MT-07 or the Versys 650. My head says NC, heart says Versys and balls say MT-07 :) What do you recommend?

Thanks for the review, appreciate it. Was ist das was ist das Hehe ;) Regards from Germany :)

Anyway you can do a review on the NC750S DCT? The reason I ask is where I live I have to special order any motorcycle over 250cc's and after vat, import fees... you pay twice the amount the motorcycles cost and still have to wait 4 to 8 months for the bike. So if you could possibly let me know your thoughts on the Honda CT750S DCT it would be very helpful. Thank you.

just bought that :D thank for your video!

Well done.

real nice in red price in the Uk is £6,400

Hello, I was wondering if I installed the IXIL Hyperlow exhaust on a 2014 Honda NC750XA, If I would need to put the motorcycle on a dyno and re-tune the fuel injection. I know usually you need to do so when you change exhaust and put a performance air filter. I just want to make sure if I need to re-tune when only the exhaust is changed or not. Thanks guys

Thanks for this review.

hey can you do a review on the msx 125 from honda

Like riding an R BMW.....I like it.

I don't understand why don't you mention the fact that this one has a clutch. Is this the model where you can choose between automatic and manual gear switching?

there is another improvement - chain guard as standard :)

What's this place? Is it southern France or Spain?,cuz I find it to be absolutely beautiful & besides that stark-searing sunshine doesn't seem to be anywhere.The only wonderful item that is missing seems to be that continuous beautiful breeze that Hawaii has all the time or that strong seasonal northeasterly gust,said to originate from Siberia at every beginning or year's end or another wind system what U southern Europeans would call Sirocco.

Nice review!!! As a beginner myself, I was wondering if you've tried CB500X? How would you compare it to NC700X?

Bom video, excelente review! Para a próxima faz a malveira e vai às azenhas do mar, só para lhes mostrar o quão bom é o nosso cantinho( just saying) ;) Keep on...

Great job Cager :)

Great Review, LOL when you said, Review from someone who does not understand anything. Hopefully will get mine soon if my wife allows me... !

Hi Cager, I'm considering an NC750s DCT or CB500X what do you think of these 2 and how they compare

As you say yourself "from the point of view of someone who doesnt understand anything, being your first own bike and only doing it for 2 years" , this is NOT a beginner bike per se, it is built for a specific target group by HONDA and that group are certainly not the beginners. Maybe as you mature yourself, just maybe, you could reflect on these ' beginner' bikes remarks, especially being a beginner yourself...

Hi, great review. I was wondering. I am 6'4" tall. Do you think this bike would be good for my size? Thank you.

Hello , i like this bike and i am looking a bike Cheap max 8.000 euro to buy for to make trip in Europe , what you think this bike is good for long distance trip or have other options about touring bike in the price 8.000 euro arround ? can anyone help me ? thanks . ( i am sorry for my low english btw ) ;(

AWESOME review (y)

The bollocks testdrive :)

Bom video, é bom ver um português a fazer motovlogs :D Just subed' ! Continua o bom trabalho

hi, how is the DTC on the NC700x and NC750XA? is this like an automated gear box? i saw some reviews where this had some extra buttons on the handles which i can't see on the model you tested ( drive button on the right side and gshift on left) . sorry for the noobish question but i am not clear on whether this is an automatic gb bike or not :(

Very nice Video :-)

These bikes would be an attractive proposition if they weren't so heavy. 225 kg dry. Only 5 kg lighter than a Suzuki B-King! I don't see how you could take this bike off road with all that weight.

Top speed ?

Awesome video. Just one thing.......YOU ARE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD DUDE....... :)

why do you call a bike she?

I got 750 x in december:)i fucking hate snow:)Honda nc750x

120 is not illegal in Germany :-)

Sliding...19:27 but be careful on those white painted stripes, they could be a bitch! :)

Urban attack ride.

És o maior.
