I'm on my second NC750X. My first was a DCT but it had issues sticking in 6th gear.... In 2023 I bought a manual NC750X and it is quite simply the most versatile bike I have ever owned. The frunk is a godsend, the riding position is sublime, and the fuel economy is beyond belief. At a steady 85mph it will still return 80+mpg. At a steady 60mph it will return in excess of 100mpg. I have three bikes in my garage but the NC is my 'go-to' machine. The only bike I would replace it with would be a new NC750X.
For real world biking, these bikes are brilliant. Loved mine. I did have a problem with the DCT shift motor, so lost confidence and sold it. However I missed it so much I went and bought the X-ADV 750 (same engine & gearbox) but better running gear, brakes, suspension etc. The killer feature of the NC is the 'frunk' 😎
@@DSR1YT 😂 Ironicly the fix was really simple, just took Honda 2 months to find the problem. Loving the X-ADV, it's my goto bike, the GS doesn't get used much anymore 🤯
Nice bike, glad to see a young person on this bike doing a review for a change, lol. I am 35yo and I am considering to buy this one, although it is a tough decision against the versys 650, both seem quite practical and fit for long touring and commuting.
Got to love it when a bike doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to fuel each ride. On my aprilia tuono 1100 I would usually fill up twice on a normal ride. Got expensive 🤣
Wish Honda made more classic looking bikes, they never did come up with a real replacement for the Deauville 700, all their bikes now look the same and with only digital screens no analogue dials.

You make a strong case for the nc750 😁. It does a lot in a decent sized package. 🤙
Great review! I'm hoping for the 2025 updated version here in the States. Stay safe 🙏

I’m all about that frunk🤣. Hopefully the x-adv is running better than the previous dct bike 🤙

You cant go wrong with either this or the versys for reliability, comes down to your own preference though.
It's a great bike, I test rode one and loved it. Munched up the miles using very little fuel

First! NC owner from New Zealand
Congrats mate. Now it’s time to enjoy it 🤙
i really like the looks of it,and thats the main reason we buy bikes if we're honest.

Personally I think they should have used a 15 litre tank 😉
750 twin?
Yes
Cross-plane twin, which sounds like a V-twin 😊
Pootle. A poodle is a dog.
Haha nah I go for a poodle 🤣
You can't fit a full face helmet unless it's a small or a pea pod
I’m confused. It either can fit a full face helmet or it can’t. Which is it? 😁
ya can't.
a medium size full helmet do fits well
Can get a good few beers in tho !
