My add on bits are..hand guards, engine bars, centre stand, foot wind deflectors, rear hugger , fork protectors, instrument protection , radiator protection and a fender extender…..oh and Velcro for the most annoying battery cover….hehe

I have had my NC750DCT since January 2023….a present for my 60th from my dear wife…..I last rode 43 years prior to the purchase…..last bike in 1981 was a Yamaha RD250LC…until a drunk driver destroyed my bike and almost me….after some very slow riding….getting used to throttle control and rear brake for very slow riding, I got my mojo back….huge leap of faith for me…..I have added lots of things to my bike….love it…it does everything i require on my very piss poor very busy Jersey island roads….love the DCT, but I now love the flappy paddle gear shifting….it’s a dream….the one thing I feel is rubbish is the access to the battery, rubbish weird bolt screw things that break…I use Velcro on that now….I have Dunlop tires….not sure if they are the best….deals ok on Jersey….maybe a twin disc up front would be nice….but far from a dull slow lump…..it’s nimble, it’s no slouch and it is so fragile on the fuel…..will I ever sell it……not a chance…it has given me back my missed decades of not riding…..thanks Honda

What is the differents between the Advant X solid and Advant X carbon in real live? I don’t suppose the 50gram does make a lot of difference in comfort.

I have one but i have a problem when its cold or under certain temperature its start good without hesitation but as soon as it starts to heat up it dies out and struggles to start if you know what is causing this please let me.know

"Hi, I'm Mohammed Shamshad from India. I'm interested in buying this helmet. Can you please share the purchasing procedure, price, and shipping details?"

"Great informative and knowledgeable video, sir! Where are you from and what's the price of the helmet you're unboxing? Please reply."

Got the same dct bike in February this year. Bought cos of the good seat height as am 5.7 too and all the same reasons you bought it. . Love my NC. Easy to ride with the low centre of gravity, awesome fuel economy and enough power. Off touring France/Switzerland and Germany next year on her. I've put 3200 miles on the bike so far and my only gripe is the back tyre is already down to the wear marks which is quite poor. Will change the stock tyres for something which will last much longer.

TOP TO BOTTOM LOL

Fab video 😀

I have the 2014 model

I own a 2018 NC750X with manual transmission. To me the only real downside of the NC is the chain drive. The NC is a bike that definitely deserves something better, either shaft or belt, it's Honda's practical motorcycle, but there's just nothing practical about chain drive. But apart from the chain it really is a great bike.

Have had one for 3 years. Has served me well. No problems whatsoever.

i been thinking about buying one of those hondas - so your rolling review aloong with your incisive comments about the features on the motorcycle; its many features; handling and drive experience were most helpful

What year is your ncx?

Any measurements on decibel level t 70 mph ?

If you put Gilwern in your sat nav instead of Abergavenny , you'll miss the traffic

I love riding in Wales, fantastic roads & scenery

The B&B looks great

I know of at least 4 other helmets that have the 180 chin bar. Tho the LS2 seems to be the popular choice.

NC750X DCT 2019 I’ve toured Scotland, Wales, Cornwall and Ireland in all weathers from here in the Peak District Recently installed LED spots off AliExpress to Givi crash bars. They are powered via a Healtec ThunderBox along with a twin USB power outlet I have in the frunk for charging SatNav, iPhone and powerbank for camping I use Oxford rainseal jacket (yellow) and over trousers (black) and can confirm these have kept me dry 100% in torrential rain on many occasions. I’ve owned these for three years and they still work as new Also in my frunk I always carry the Oxford toolkit Pro. Not a fan of those small pressure canisters for inflating tyres, so I carry a ThiEYE mini rechargeable compressor. In addition there’s a puncture repair kit, First Aid pack, wet wipes and microfibre cloth. These frunks really are brilliant aren’t they On long tours, especially when on motorways/major roads I always wear a yellow hi-viz bip

"the only flip-around helmet on the market"??? ...say whaaa???

Bought mine in 2023 after years of not riding and poor health. Mine is just a delight. More than what I need at my advanced age. I love the power out of the block, the fuel use is excellent and the cubby is lovely. I give this bike a 10/10. One negative, the standard tyres are not my favourite.

On mine I’ve fitted the pyramid crash bars with halogen lights. From the front you get LED from the headlight, halogen from the crash bar lights and the orange indicator lights. There are so many reflective vests about now, people don’t seem to see them, but it’s what you feel safe with.

Best of luck with the project! this was my first bike almost 15 years ago, love it so much!

I bought my NC DCT in the spring of 2022 and am entering the 3rd year. I think it's a bit weak, so I changed the front sprocket from 17 teeth to 15. It helped quite a bit, So yes I agree here, it's not a lot of power if you need it. But it depends on what you require in terms of strength. The brakes are too weak in my opinion. Due to low power I am looking for a stronger bike, but not sure what to get yet. GS or a Gixer GT maybe. Regardless of weak engine, it is a reliable MC, easy to drive, low center of gravity. A perfectly good MC, good for beginners.

Picking up a 2024 NC750x this weekend. It will be my 1st bike. I was sold on the frunk. I'm always stopping at the market or a craft fair.

I have a modular Shark with a 180 degree chinbar. Bought the Shark modular back in 2018. Shark is prediminantly a European company and with that I've experienced limited availability and support in the US. The LS2 seems to be a bit more receptive to customer support and availability. Thanks for the review, looking forward to rocking my Advant X

Got my 2022 couple of weeks ago. Standard transmission. After about 1500km so far on paved as well as gravel roads must say I’m impressed. Was originally looking at CB500X as my second bike (beside Tracer 900 GT) but this one came up “fully loaded” for very good money. I like the fact that even it is not light bike it feels much lighter than it is. The (frunk) is very convenient and the mileage is great. So far 3.3l/100km. It corners very well and after replacing front tire for Continental Twinduro TKC80 it goes on gravel like skunk.

In my opinion honda should have set it up so of the 14.1 litre tank it should be 10 on main and 4.1 on rez 😊

You do realise that as soon as the fuel gauge starts to flash you have about 4.4 l which is 0.97 of a gallon so at 87 mpg you could very easily make 20 or 30 miles 😉 tho I understand not taking a chance, but strictly on figures that would have been doable

Доброго времени. Хотелось бы знать, будет ли удобно в нем человеку в очках?

I have the exact same bike - 2023 DCT model in black. Done about 5k mostly town and countryside stuff, limited motorways. I've added a Sat nav mount, heated grips, USB charger, underseat power point for my Airman compressor, home made shock protector, fender extenda, rad cover and a taller screen. Electrical accessories via a Innov power commander which is a great bit of kit but a bugger to fit as the tupperware is the usual Honda jigsaw. In no specific order my pro's - good luggage carrying capacity, easy to ride, dead easy to maintain, great fuel economy. Cons - dashboard setup is over complex. Original Bridgestone tyres were utter rubbish, the bike felt horribly unstable and almost made me sell it - PR4s transformed it. Suspension can be harsh over potholes/poor road repairs. Headlight very, very poor - as an old fella it needs supplementary lights for safe night riding IMHO. Over this Summer I lubed all the suspension linkages - easy job. Checked and adjusted the valves - easy job - intakes a bit tight. Oil, and filters service - easy job. Chain has settled down and hasn't needed adjusting for a while. Riding it - I spend most of my time in standard mode. I do find it 'chugs' a bit at slow speed round town and the engine sounds a tad agricultural and mechanical. Out on the road at a steady speed it feels much smoother and happier. I find the seat a bit uncomfortable after an hour and unbearable 30 minutes later. However, I'm of an age where I usually need to pee well before that! Overall it's a great bike - not a crotch rocket obviously, just a steady, useful and 'easy' bike. I'm hoping to get it over to France/Germany next year. This will probably be my last bike as my ageing body is starting to make riding tougher but it is a great bike now I've got it fettled.

Not thought of dumping the stock exhaust can for something smaller, lighter and sounds better like the GRmoto can 🤔

12:49 your wrong, this myth came out of the lead designer making a joke about it at the original 2012 launch, and also the NC was the first honda bike on which their car division helped with the whole engine design for I believe two years, but regardless of the time frame they cooperated with the bike side on its design, so yes it does bare a lot of similarities to the car engine especially if you look at the valve gear ect, but it's not literally 'half a jazz engine' 😊

Don't forget that the NC is very easy to service too

Thank you,I have the same bike, but with a bigger Givi windshield ,useful video

I replaced the awful OE Dunlops with Metzeller tyres, totally transformed the road holding

No fendaextender? Been to the Picos de Europa and Pyrenees, down the West coast of France all without any fault

Bought my 2021 DCT after seeing a review by TH-camr Mr Fish. Stepped down from a 2016 Crosstourer DCT which was just too top heavy at my advanced age!

Had a 2016 NC700X DCT which was the first year of the "newer" design. This was my first bike, coming from the Honda PCX150 scooter. The purpose for the bike was as a daily commuter. The main reason for this choice of bike was the DCT. I test rode the CTX700 DCT and while I liked the bike, the foot forward controls were not my choice. As soon as the NC arrived I took it for a test ride and new right away it was the right bike for me. The DCT meant learning to ride a real bike on the road was much easier. I started in 'D' mode before trying out the 3 different 'S' modes mine had. Settled on S2 for my style of riding and routes. Also loved the frunk for onboard storage! Initially my work bag sat behind me for my commute, which worked well apart from fuel ups, which the tank cap was under the back seat! Soon added a whole bunch of accessories: heated grips, handguards (with LEDs), fork protector, rad guard, D2 front LEDs, DM yellow front LEDs at the hub, rear rack to strap my bag on, rear light bar, SW-Motech footpegs, Fobo TPMS caps, front fender extender, rear fender (scuffed and painted matte), Madstad adjustable screen. After taking my eldest daughter through the basic rider safety program I started riding in Manual mode all of the time. Loved the ability and smoothness of changing gear at the push of a button, even mid-corner! It was the perfect commuter bike that handled everything I needed. Don't think you could pop a wheelie with it if you tried, but it was for commuting and the occasional weekend jaunt. With fantastic mpg it did everything I needed. Service intervals were so far apart, and it was just plain Honda reliable. All I really did was keep replacing the Michelin Road 4's and 5's when worn down. 8k service intervals were a non-issue! 7 years and 30k miles later it was taken down by a car with a young driver. Fortunately while the bike was a total loss, I hobbled away with bruises and swelling (ATGATT for the win). I considered the newer and 'bigger' 750 version, as well as the Transalp. Knowing that this next bike could well be my last I decided that I wanted something "more". The NC700X is a perfect commuter, but I wanted to experience something with a little more character. I initially was looking at 800-1000 bikes, however after sitting on a couple I decided that my riding didn't warrant such sized bikes. If I was touring or riding 2-up then sure, but not for my short commute and odd weekend out. Finally settled on a Triumph Tiger Sport 660 that came with free colour-matched panniers. I added the matching top box (fits 2 helmets), heated grips, fog lights, quick-shifter, and TPMS. I then installed lighting kits in the top box and panniers, the license plate light bar, and a fusebox to manage it all. Also added heated clothing and charging ports and an Evotech/ Peak Design phone mount. Had this set up for a year now, and 3k miles. Love it, and it was absolutely the right size bike. Yes the NC700 was a 670 twin with 47HP, but this 660 triple with 80+ is crazy! MPG isn't quite as good, but I really don't care as the grin more than makes up for it (plus I'm US pricing for fuel so there's that!!!). If I was to do it over, I would do the same thing again. The NC, especially in DCT, is an amazing bike that is extremely easy to ride and live with. What it lacks is the ability to crack open the fun/wow box. If you've been riding for a long time and don't need that, or if you are just stepping up from a beginner bike, then this is a perfect daily rider that you can expect to start every time you throw your leg over it, no matter what. Just know that at some point you may want to be able to stir in some fun riding and the NC will struggle to meet that need. There are other bikes out there, like the TS660, that can give you the fun factor - but it will be at the cost of something that the NC does better, even if it's only the MPG or the DCT availability.

Ey up Had mine a a year and agree with you pretty much 100%

Hello fellow NC rider, I have installed a Givi Touring Screen with a Puig Clip on adjustable deflector (medium), for my height 5’ 11” it’s very good but I recon you would be well suited with just the Givi Touring Screen. Honda touring screen is very noisy but the standard one is fine for summer riding. Regards, DCT Dave & Butty Bach 🙂

Iv got these and didn’t think they were that great

I am very lucky to own a few bikes. One of them is a 2017 Honda NC750X, in electric blue. It is a geared version. I have been riding almost continuously for 45 years and the NC is by far the most versatile bike I have ever owned. Indeed if I were to only have one bike it would be the NC. I frequently ride from Warwickshire to Dorset and back in a day and not only do I find the NC comfortable to do in excess of 400 miles in a day, it will also return 100mpg if I take it steady. Even if I 'make progress' it will generally return 80+mpg. If Honda did it with shaft drive and cruise control it would score 10/10. As it is I give it 9.5/10

I keep mine in a saddle bag. It literally saved my ass when I was on the interstate in Texas about 20mi from a gas station.

Good review showcasing plenty of the helmet! There are other brands with these flip-over design including Shark and Nolan, but I think LS2 is a league of their own for this design.

which hand guard did you use ?

I tried one of these but found it a bit noisy, what I did do, that I found good for me was to fit a lower screen th-cam.com/video/9pdYlZWvAyk/w-d-xo.html

Why does anyone think that a video of someone riding a bike and reading the instrument panel is interesting? Eeer uumh!

A very impressive set of figures. I can’t decide between dct or manual. I suspect I would go for the later.
