I had a NC700X from 2013 to 2019 and did about 20000 miles on it, including trips from England to France and Germany. It was so awful that when I changed it in May last year, I had to get something at least a little different, so I forced myself to buy a new NC750X DCT.......
Sounds like my experience. I started with the NC700X DCT. It is actually only 670cc. Compare that to the NC750X with 749cc displacement. That is over 10% increase in displacement and approximately 8% increase in horsepower. When I upgraded to the NC750, I really felt the increase in power. And the DCT advanced by one generation at the same time. So, more power (same weight) and smoother transmission. I love the NC750X. I added HONDA top case and paniers, heated grips, a Madstad windshield (I STONGLY recommend the Madstad system), and some lights. COMPLAINT: The new LED headlight is a bright horizontal beam that leans with the bike, causing blind spots on curves at night.
@@RobertLeeLewisThe2nd do you mean that manual transmission version better and dct version!! Am confused little and want to choose between both versions
Mine is even more boring now I fitted a Shad seat on it and my backside doesn’t ache after an hours riding. Not satisfied with the excitement of constant buffeting from the stock screen I fitted a Puig touring screen. Now it is much quieter and duller to ride. And with DCT I don’t even have to change gear myself. It’s a miracle I can stay awake while I am riding.
@@AfricaTwin-Stuff thought about a shad seat. But opted for the air hawk seat cushion. It's a remarkable improvement. Had a shad seat on my mt09sp Now sold it. But just love my NC750X longest bike I've ever owned.
I'm young, 35, and I own this bike. I like hearing a 66 year old saying what I know deep down is true. I look at the GS and KTM's that my friends ride but the extra cost for those bikes just doesn't quite justify it to me. You pay 100% more for a new one and get 10-20% more experience and then on the maintenance/longevity side they're actually losing. I"m not the cool guy in the fleet but like you say, I go wherever they do and if there's ever drama surrounding breakdowns, it ain't me.
Good to see another vlog from you after a while. I'm 56 and the "boring" 2020 NC750X ((❤)) is the last bike I will ever buy. It will see me ride into the sun till I can't get my legs over. I'm looking forward to the years ahead of riding on my prized NC.
I've been watching your vids for a couple of years while looking for a bike. I finally decided that boring is what I want as well. I just put a deposit on the 2021 DCT version and expect delivery in May. I can't wait for a boring summer! Thanks for all the vids. They really helped me choose the NC.
Fantastic review, I did 18,000 boring miles in a year on my NC750X through 14 countries with a mixture of camping and hotels. I sold it and and bought a Ducati Multistrada 1200, what a mistake that was too tall and heavy comfortable saddle was the only thing going for it. Currently looking for another NC750X or possible a CB500X as it's supposed to be more off roady. Keep up the good work !
@@NIP28 No not Honda, I did work for Harley Davidson for about 3 months but 6 days a week was a chore and I never got to ride my own bike. A Triumph speed triple.
I sometimes get a niggling for something else, problem is, I wouldn't trade my NC750X for ANYTHING else! I believe it's the pinnacle of a practical motorcycle! I wish I could thank you in person for the great videos about the NC750X and maintenance videos you have put up, but here will have to do. I've put 13,000 miles on mine and it's not quite a year old!
Thank you for a fantastic video. I've been waiting for a CT125 for nearly a year and discovered today a dealership locally has a 2020 NC750x DCT with 650 miles on it. You just convinced me. Again, thank you!
My Honda NC700S, that I bought in 2013 and has now 106.000 km is so boring that I have decided to keep it as long as I can. I am saying as long as I can because the bike doesn't show any signs of letting me down. In fact I found the bike so terribly boring that I also have a NC750S, from 2014 , that I bought used in 2017 from my local Honda dealer. I told the dealer that I would give this terribly boring bike a good home and always enough fuel, oil, care and maintenance and off I went. No regrets whatsoever, and before I forget let me say thank you Honda for the most boring bike there is, since it suits me like a glove. Thank you for your channel Sir, sharing your thoughts and stories of a really good , boring, excellent motorcycle. Safe rides and travels 👍🏍🙏
What a brilliant video. I’m picking up my brand new DCT on Tuesday, saw the headline of this video and thought oh no, I’ve purchased the wrong bike. Then watched it and could see you were being ironic, great stuff, happy again now.
I kinda knew what to expect, but I got to say that your dedication to extending the pun well in to what seemed like forever impresses me. (and I'm kind of getting an impression of what most bikers you hang out think of your bike :P )
I know, right? My NC700X bores me to tears here in North Carolina, what with the mountains so close by. Delighted to see another video from you, by the way!
Great vid. I love my NC and am never bored, I never have to worry about riding the bike because its manners are impecable and it allows me to enjoy the ride and take in all the sights and sounds.
Just brought an NC. Looking at your past bikes, you have had a lot more dirt oriented bikes than I did. Your idea of off road boredom would be VERY exciting for me! However, I can relate to the pleasures of boredom as I own four late model GP 2 strokes, exciting track bikes to 99.9% of riders. On a twisty road I would take the boring NC any day, exemplifying your comment at 4.20 that the road is not a racetrack. The soporific manner the NC eats up "twisties" takes boredom to new heights. I have never "tolerated" boredom so much in my life. Now to find a dirt road to make my NC exciting! Great review, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Love your videos, especially this one. Am enjoying your vids vor a year now - and finally got my own NC750x with DCT last week. Have to say, ... your videos had a great impact on my decision to go with the NanCy :) So, wanted to let you know, you officially are an Influencer 😉 So, enough sugar blowing,... time to get bored! Taking NanCy out for a ride now. Have a good day and thanks for the great work!
Thank you sir! I recently purchased a 2018 this past April. I’ve put 8000km(5000 miles) since then. I love this bike. I’ve learned much from your content. Sincere thanks from North Carolina USA!
I have enjoyed my NC750x since day one. 8 months in and I’m still in love. I’ve ridden for over 30 yrs; Honda Rebel 250, Yamaha VStar 650, Yamaha FJR1300, etc. Loved them all. But this ‘21 Honda NC750x DCT seems so ideal! Low maintenance, lightweight, low center of gravity, no clutching! I’m just totally enjoying the ride and the scenery. And yes, when I bring a guest along, the ride is no less thrilling! Power, no problem… Ride safe!
Always thanks for your points of view. When with my nc750x with active DCT I drive around the woods of Vico Lake in a total atmosphere of tranquility, with the helmet with the bluetooth on while listening to the "Steve McQueen" of Prefab Sprout, or the best of the Prodigy, or a nice mix of Progressive Trance, or my playlist of American 70's Hard Rock or even "Violator" of my favorite Depeche Mode ... It's not just a "motorcycle ride" ... it's a "State of Mind".
Your videos are really informative and entertaining. After watching almost all of them, I was wondering if you could do one on the tinkering tools you use in your shop. Specifically your welder, and what your setup/materials were when you did the aluminum sump guard, as well as your plasma cutter.
Could I ask how tall you need to be to sit comfortably. I have a 29.5 inch inseam. Is that enough for this bike, where the seat height is 32.7 inches (2014 version)?
You will be tip toed. Because Iow engineering, the NC has a super low centre of gravity making it a dream while moving through the corners but you will struggle at slow speeds.
Greetings from Newcastle England. I picked up a 2012 NC700 a few months back and being used to dare I say a little smother and with a bit of grunt. But I soon I realised that it’s no race bike but it’s not really much like anything, but it’s self. And this is why it’s my kind of a bike now in my 50’s, to commute and have a ride out or along with others. It just works for me, as they say. “ it does what it says on the tin” Thanks, safe riding.
You know, I sometimes see Harley riders on weekend tours and it saddens me to think that despite me doing 20 thousand kilometers per year on my NC, rain and shine, I'll never be a fraction of the real biker those weekend warriors who do 1000 km are.
new to your channel ,just bought a nc750x 2016 last week ,wish i would of bought one earlier ,ive owned many bikes ,enjoying your channel ,great information and has been a great help , loving my boring nc 750x
Really loved your videos and they helped me decide buying one of these amazing machines. I bought a used one a couple of days ago, the 2016 750x dct version, 13k km on board. I love to ride this, is so easy to ride, so nimble and compared to my last bike who had double the power and the horses I ride this one MUCH faster than that one and much more relaxed and focused. Very comfortable and I really like that the exhaust is not loud and the engine has a low rumble, is just perfect for my ears. It's just full of small things that just makes you smile. I'm sure all the motorcyclists that don't see it as a real bike due to low specs and no gear shift(on DCT version), once given the chance to ride it, it will change their minds. Thank you for posting these videos, really had an impact on my decision, especially that sarcams.
Cool. Very similar biking history. Same age as you. Just ordered a ‘21 NCX which will be my 52nd motorcycle. Did trials, enduro, rally, road bikes and dabbled on the race track. Really looking forward to the low revving torque of the 270 firing NC.
@@AfricaTwin-Stuff see Ya sometime! Always out there either hooning on my old Fz1 or cruising on my old FJR. The tavern is greatly over rated. I miss haunting the Half Way and the Road Warriors Those were the days
Great vid, and you're exploring the issue "is there one bike for everything", that's something I struggle with, I suspect most riders do. By comparison you are in the Zen Zone with yours, which is a geat place to be. It's sad but true that trends/fashion and brand kudos have too much influence over us. I've also owned a few bikes over the years including several 1000cc plus bikes, and I do my own maintenance, so two cylinders is the maximum I want to cope with these days. In the continuing search for one bike to do everything I sold my NC four months ago and bought a Himalayan. I like the Himalayan, and I miss my NC. My girlfriend and I did lots of pleasureable miles during the UK L**k Down on the NC. The Himalayan can carry two, just not as well and as quickly as the NC. Top speed on the NC is 100MPH, it'll do that solo, or as I found travelling in Europe it'll also do that with full luggage and a pillion. Fuel economy is brilliant too. It would have been nice to try an NC with shaft drive, a few more BHP, and a more comfortable seat. Great vid, and I love the dry delivery/humour. I hope everything turns out well down under, the reports we get here don't look so good, these are strange days for us all.
Im doing the same on a 2stroke vespa, buddys are laughing.I have seen the trip from the netherlands to italy ,austria and all the way down to cote azur.Love the sense of humor.
You summed up the bike perfectly. The lean angle was ridiculous and never felt unsafe, which is probably dangerous. Could even get all my shopping in it with the tank space and top box. Only niggle I had was that the fuel cap was under the rear seat, so when it was loaded up, filling up was a chore, wish they had put it on the side like the bmw.
Would you consider the DCT if it were availible over there? Kicking around the idea for touring but I've been riding since i was a kid and wonder if I'd miss the clutch
One of the reasons I bought the NC was it’s mechanical simplicity. If I was using the bike to commute in traffic DCT would be brilliant. But I only ride for pleasure. So - no, the DCT isn’t for me.
Hello from Spain, thanks for tour videos, awaiting to get hands on my new Nc750x DCT from the dealer. I have two questions:¿ What brand and model of tyre is good for 90% good pavement Road and 10% very light off Road on good conditions? And , does you find necessary to install a rear Fender? Thanks
Tyres: I’ve been running Pirelli Scorpion Trail 2 Fender: not a fender, but a “mud flap” to protect the rear shock. See my modification playlist. There is a vid of what I did.
where did you find that song hahaha, i have wr250r. often taking trails at 60mph+. want to do minimalistic touring, as in not an 800lb bike. i think boring is just for me. love the cargo box in the front.
This is just the video I needed as i'm in a horrible situation. I've had so many bikes over the years, but mostly sportsbikes, had a bit of everything from Super Blackbirds, Fazer 600's etc, enjoyed them all but 99% of my riding is commuting because the bike is my only transport. Years and years ago I had both a Triumph Speed Four and a Triumph TT600 and they cemented themselves as my favourite bikes of all time...so much so that I purchased myself an extremely tidy TT600 3 weeks ago and I was back in heaven, problem with these is they are bastards to do even the simplest of jobs on, they guzzle fuel, even after updating fuel maps, they have the terrible throttle response and lack of low down power that causes issues during every day road riding. A few days ago a lady pulled right out from her driveway without looking and smashed into the side of me, my TT600 was a write off, as was her car so I'm proud of the bike for at least getting in its revenge before kicking the bucket. My insurance company dropped off a hire bike for me (that amazingly gets charged against her insurer, this is to make them hurry up and not drag their feet, works too). The bike they dropped off was a 2019 NC750X, I've not had a chance to ride it yet, but I knew very little about them and have been watching your video's, and it seems the perfect ideal bike for me, once my leg and shoulder are a bit better I'll be able to take it for a spin, but watching this vid has made me realize that as much as I love those Triumphs, and those sorts of bikes, perhaps it's time I let them go and just let them be a memory, and that the NC750X is the most sensible and practical bike that ticks every single thing I need. Thanks for the video, I think the sarcasm and good old Aussieness of it all has helped me see sense over here in the UK!
Another UK NC owner got his after an accident wrote his bike off and he got an NC as a loaner. He wasn't on his bike when it was written off so I hope you have made a full recovery. Accident at 06:03 th-cam.com/video/TWT_INnoP2M/w-d-xo.html
Had a 2000 TT600 loved it but it tried to kill me every time I got on it. The fuel injection had some issues. I was tempted to get another but I think sometimes its best to leave past memories in the past. I bought a 2022 Street Twin. Very happy though since I commute I am keeping an eye non the NC750X and the Triumph Tiger 660, 850 for the next bike
😂 OMGoodness mate, I love love your sarcasm! The one bike that takes everything in its stride with no dramas, well engineered, easy maintenance. I’m looking at buying a second hand one, came to you looking for the down sides and ended up wanting to buy one more 😂🤣.
It was quite boring waiting for you to post again, just to see that you're more or less ok and just bored out of yer skull. Now I can add to my boredom by watching this again at half speed- the dryness of the humor and sarc factor increases by the square. Thanks for the video scrapbook of past rides. All the best to you and your riding partner. Stay bored.
I detect just a smidge of sarcasm here. I’ll be getting a NC750X as a second bike. I intend to use it for reducing mileage on my Diavel, and for when I work overnight in areas that motorcycle theft is a concern. I enjoyed the video, thanks!
Im owning a Honda CB600F for 2 years now. It has 102HP at 12.000rpm. Im using it to ride in weekends with wife on 250-450km rides, chiling on twistie roads..mountaing passes and so on. The thing is i never using it at its full power...not even once in 2 years. I just want to relax and enjoy the scenery without full throtle and maximum speeds. I'm considering purchasing the NC750X and your videos help me alot. Thanks
I can use all of the power on the NC when I want to but it’s not overpowered. I can’t see the point of paying the fuel cost of dragging a 1000cc, 1200 or even 1800 engine around the world. If the NC had a lighter frame it would be even cheaper to run.
I love that bike and the space to keep helmet inside is very nice, but i need a bike for daily use in City and and im just 1,70m and a Light weight bike will be most indicated for me i think im going for Cb500x 2019 or 2020. What do you think?
Take into account that the centre of gravity is rather low with this bike, which makes it rather easy to handle, even though it's on the heavy side. You might want to check whether its height is ok for you. It's a narrow bike, especially around the knees, therefore you may be able to decend you feet lower than with wider bikes. Videos of short females, telling about their experience with the NC, are on youtube, though, and what they report sounds encouraging.
Just drove my new (0 miles) 2019 NC750X home from the dealer yesterday. It's difficult seeing the dash (bright day). Is there a trick to making the dash more visible? I have no trouble seeing the dash on my 2012 NC700X.
@@AfricaTwin-Stuff Yes! I noticed that! I'm going to have to do something about that. Don't know what yet, but something. Easiest might be swapping the dash off another Honda. Brighter and bigger.
It's interesting how motorcyclists always claim to band together in one big group hug of camaraderie but then there's some real snobbery when it comes to who is or isn't a "real" biker. Anyway, great review mate and I have to say that you are the king of deadpan sarcasm.
Very nice description and I totally agree that most safe reliable bike not fun but for me as bigner I found it very useful and fun to drive it with confidence 💪🏾
252 / 5.000 After this video I ordered my NC750X DTC 2022, before I drove the BMW R1200RT, K1600B and S1000XR and I still have my classic Harley Softail Heritage and a BMW C400GT scooter. Should be exciting to experience long European trips with this versatile Honda, I look forward. Thanks for your movie, it convinced me!
I've been off my bike for a while, and had zeroed in on this one for a lot of your reasons as a new option. Having a same age person with multi bike experience and ownership of same bike is priceless for me. You pretty much withdrew the last hurdle to going out and buying one. Ta mate.
I've been looking into the NC750X for some time now currently still in the process of convincing the misses I do need a new bike to go to work (about 55km one way). Now with the new 2021 model announced would you recommend waiting for this one or go with the 2020 model? I would apreciate your opinion on this as I do enjoy your honest reviews in your channel.
Mine is a 2016 model - manual gearbox. Poor sales in Oz means Honda Oz aren’t importing them anymore. There are lots of excellent bikes available now, so choosing just one is almost impossible. There are practical reasons to buy the NC, and the DCT version makes a lot of sense for commuting. I don’t see much benefit in the 21 version over the previous models. So price of a superseded model can be a factor. And the bike will last for ever. One owner has done over 220,000km to date (DCT version) with only routine maintenance. But in the end, you should go with your heart as riding is about fun, not just practicality.
@@AfricaTwin-Stuff I can't help but think the DCT version takes a bit away of the actual motorcycle riding. I like shifting gears :) The price of the NC is also very good... I think I might just pop on over to the store on saturday and put my ass on one to see how she feels.
@@EmpZombie I would go with DCT if money isn't a factor. You can still shift the gears if you want with a couple of small paddles in manual mode. But always have an option of lazy driving in the auto.
Is the bike good for riding 2-up? Most reviewers say it isn’t based on horsepower, but I don’t think they’ve ever tried it. I’m really leaning towards picking up one of these, but can’t find a definitive answer on riding with a passenger.
My wife has her own bike. So I can’t comment with authority. I know a number of long-term NC owners ride two-up. Personally, I don’t think it’s ideal. Not from a power perspective but comfort for long trips.
Boring?? You don't know the meaning of the word. Took mine out the other day for a ride no more than 5 klm from home in this lock down. Now, that's boring. Great video and you sum the bike up so well. Thank you
Hello from PORTUGAL !!! I've been folowing our chanel for some time, I'm 47, and I own a NC700xDct for 3 years now, and I simply agree with everything you say in this vídeo !👍😀👍😀 Greatings from this "side" of the world✌️✌️
I love this review! You have just given a word "boring" a new, more positive and likable concept. I tested the NC few months back and loved how "boring" it was on that short ride. I own a farley "boring" retro classic (CB1100Rs) which I love, but of course it is a lot more "exciting" when it comes to luggage up, weather protection, weight handling, fuel economy etc. I am now selling it and planning to get my hands on this very "boring" NC750X coz I love to be "bored" ...in these terms definitely. Thanks for the review, subscribed
I think you've done more to advertise this bike in under 15mins than Honda could do in 15 years! Great vid. Very enjoyable... and boring sounds absolutely perfect for a 1-bike owner like me. Cheers! 👌👍✌️
No bikes are boring, only the riders. Some bikes are better than others at some specific activities. I have an NC and it's grown on me. I also have an S1000XR and that bike makes me go WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO every time I ride it But the NC does 80mpg and preserves my licence They both have their place.
Good decision except for once you realize that you will never want another bike and the Honda will never break down; you will never own another motorcycle 😂
I agree, I have seen a ton of really boring motorcycle videos of 20-30 mins each (not sure why people can't make a short informative video), and this one is the most clever and fun to watch. Sort of Frasier series :)
Hills, forests, river, villages - hard to go wrong with that. I live in Toronto so for me it's 45 km of highways just to get out of the city. Your drone seems to have a decent range and a good video quality. Do you need a license to operate it?
Drone? No license required for a small drone in Oz. But regulations limit you to altitude of 120mtrs, it must be “in sight” at all times, cant fly over public areas or people.
2021? It won’t be coming to Aus. But it’s not for me as it’s more of a single purpose road bike than previous X’s. I like the “all rounder” nature of mine.
Love the review, it had me in stitches 🤣 due to pick one of these boring rides up myself soon. At 25 years old, I think I'll be one of the younger boring boys.
I bought my Honda NC750 last year, and as I saw the title of the video, I immediately went to the comment section with intention to write "you idiot, you have no idea about motorcycles" or something, but luckily, I held back and watched the video first! Great review man, I feel the same as you. I am enjoying my Honda all the way!
Love your work only newly subscribes to your channel. Really in love with ya backyard (Gloucester and all back roads of the Hunter). Unfortunately I have the opposite problem...and extremely exciting bike (yam Mt10sp)...😜😧 However I paid a mechanic to.do the.valaves..cheers Gerry
Sold my 2020 NC750x last year to buy a CB1100 EX. Now i find myself wanting to swap back. But which boring bike to i pick? Another NC? Or a CB500x? Such boring options haha
I often consider getting another KLR or R100/7 just so I have something to tinker with over the weekend. In 18,000 miles on my 2018 NC, I have only changed tires and a chain, and a much belated valve clearance check was so boring....

(and I'm kind of getting an impression of what most bikers you hang out think of your bike :P )
I know, right? My NC700X bores me to tears here in North Carolina, what with the mountains so close by. Delighted to see another video from you, by the way!
Thanks mate
Hello, great video. Exactly my thoughts and experiences with the Honda NCX 750. Have fun with your next trip.
Thomas / Germany
Great vid. I love my NC and am never bored, I never have to worry about riding the bike because its manners are impecable and it allows me to enjoy the ride and take in all the sights and sounds.
Does it vibrate much ? My CB500X vibrates like a blender.
Because of all your boring videos about Nc750. I had Nc750 and i love every boring thing about it...
Thank you man.
Just brought an NC. Looking at your past bikes, you have had a lot more dirt oriented bikes than I did. Your idea of off road boredom would be VERY exciting for me! However, I can relate to the pleasures of boredom as I own four late model GP 2 strokes, exciting track bikes to 99.9% of riders. On a twisty road I would take the boring NC any day, exemplifying your comment at 4.20 that the road is not a racetrack. The soporific manner the NC eats up "twisties" takes boredom to new heights. I have never "tolerated" boredom so much in my life. Now to find a dirt road to make my NC exciting! Great review, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Ha! Thanks mate. Sounds like you are having excellently boring experiences with the NC.
By the way, I’d love one of those 2stokes.
Love your videos, especially this one. Am enjoying your vids vor a year now - and finally got my own NC750x with DCT last week. Have to say, ... your videos had a great impact on my decision to go with the NanCy :)
So, wanted to let you know, you officially are an Influencer 😉
So, enough sugar blowing,... time to get bored! Taking NanCy out for a ride now.
Have a good day and thanks for the great work!
Thanks mate. Enjoy your adventures.
Great video, very well summed up, makes me even happier with mine ! Best wishes (KB Wales UK)
Thank you sir! I recently purchased a 2018 this past April. I’ve put 8000km(5000 miles) since then. I love this bike. I’ve learned much from your content. Sincere thanks from North Carolina USA!
I already wanted this bike but now I want it more! Just waiting for the 2021 model to reach the USA. Thanks for posting! Great work!
I actually prefer the looks of the 2020 model. It's a shame they messed up the style and paint options. Looks like a cheap Chinese knock off now.
thanks to you i have been maintaining my nc750x all by myself for a year now, before i saw your channel i could only lube the chain
I have enjoyed my NC750x since day one. 8 months in and I’m still in love. I’ve ridden for over 30 yrs; Honda Rebel 250, Yamaha VStar 650, Yamaha FJR1300, etc. Loved them all. But this ‘21 Honda NC750x DCT seems so ideal! Low maintenance, lightweight, low center of gravity, no clutching! I’m just totally enjoying the ride and the scenery. And yes, when I bring a guest along, the ride is no less thrilling! Power, no problem… Ride safe!
Always thanks for your points of view.
When with my nc750x with active DCT I drive around the woods of Vico Lake in a total atmosphere of tranquility, with the helmet with the bluetooth on while listening to the "Steve McQueen" of Prefab Sprout, or the best of the Prodigy, or a nice mix of Progressive Trance, or my playlist of American 70's Hard Rock or even "Violator" of my favorite Depeche Mode ... It's not just a "motorcycle ride" ... it's a "State of Mind".
Exactly. Thanks
Your videos are really informative and entertaining. After watching almost all of them, I was wondering if you could do one on the tinkering tools you use in your shop. Specifically your welder, and what your setup/materials were when you did the aluminum sump guard, as well as your plasma cutter.
Thanks mate. Have a look at my other channel. It might help answer your questions.
th-cam.com/users/adrianiredale
Could I ask how tall you need to be to sit comfortably. I have a 29.5 inch inseam. Is that enough for this bike, where the seat height is 32.7 inches (2014 version)?
You will be tip toed. Because Iow engineering, the NC has a super low centre of gravity making it a dream while moving through the corners but you will struggle at slow speeds.
Greetings from Newcastle England.
I picked up a 2012 NC700 a few months back and being used to dare I say a little smother and with a bit of grunt. But I soon I realised that it’s no race bike but it’s not really much like anything, but it’s self. And this is why it’s my kind of a bike now in my 50’s, to commute and have a ride out or along with others.
It just works for me, as they say. “ it does what it says on the tin”
Thanks, safe riding.
just woke up. Saw your boring vid which awakened a boring fire in me. Now planning the route for my 750x :)
You know, I sometimes see Harley riders on weekend tours and it saddens me to think that despite me doing 20 thousand kilometers per year on my NC, rain and shine, I'll never be a fraction of the real biker those weekend warriors who do 1000 km are.
It’s also not unusual for their group rides to include a car and trailer. 😁
@@AfricaTwin-Stuff What IS unusual is a bike with actual miles on it
new to your channel ,just bought a nc750x 2016 last week ,wish i would of bought one earlier ,ive owned many bikes ,enjoying your channel ,great information and has been a great help , loving my boring nc 750x
Thanks mate.
how much did u pay.. and excuse me
Really loved your videos and they helped me decide buying one of these amazing machines. I bought a used one a couple of days ago, the 2016 750x dct version, 13k km on board. I love to ride this, is so easy to ride, so nimble and compared to my last bike who had double the power and the horses I ride this one MUCH faster than that one and much more relaxed and focused. Very comfortable and I really like that the exhaust is not loud and the engine has a low rumble, is just perfect for my ears. It's just full of small things that just makes you smile. I'm sure all the motorcyclists that don't see it as a real bike due to low specs and no gear shift(on DCT version), once given the chance to ride it, it will change their minds. Thank you for posting these videos, really had an impact on my decision, especially that sarcams.
Thanks mate. So glad you are having your own adventures.
@James Stewart there is the manual version too, with gear shift and everything.
I wish my life was so boring, look forward to your next video , whenever that may be.
Cool. Very similar biking history. Same age as you. Just ordered a ‘21 NCX which will be my 52nd motorcycle. Did trials, enduro, rally, road bikes and dabbled on the race track. Really looking forward to the low revving torque of the 270 firing NC.
Nice - hope you have many more adventures on your NC.
Brilliant video and I love the irony. Just found your channel and subscribed. You should do Clive James impersonations. Love it.
Ha! Thanks mate.
Hello from an Old North Rd local. Got excited when I saw the Putty and Freeman's!
Might catch you at Wollombi Tavern some day?
Thanks mate.
We rarely stop at Wollombi but we are at Jerry’s at Kulnura most Sunday mornings for coffee.
@@AfricaTwin-Stuff see Ya sometime! Always out there either hooning on my old Fz1 or cruising on my old FJR. The tavern is greatly over rated. I miss haunting the Half Way and the Road Warriors
Those were the days
Great vid, and you're exploring the issue "is there one bike for everything", that's something I struggle with, I suspect most riders do. By comparison you are in the Zen Zone with yours, which is a geat place to be. It's sad but true that trends/fashion and brand kudos have too much influence over us. I've also owned a few bikes over the years including several 1000cc plus bikes, and I do my own maintenance, so two cylinders is the maximum I want to cope with these days. In the continuing search for one bike to do everything I sold my NC four months ago and bought a Himalayan. I like the Himalayan, and I miss my NC. My girlfriend and I did lots of pleasureable miles during the UK L**k Down on the NC. The Himalayan can carry two, just not as well and as quickly as the NC. Top speed on the NC is 100MPH, it'll do that solo, or as I found travelling in Europe it'll also do that with full luggage and a pillion. Fuel economy is brilliant too. It would have been nice to try an NC with shaft drive, a few more BHP, and a more comfortable seat. Great vid, and I love the dry delivery/humour. I hope everything turns out well down under, the reports we get here don't look so good, these are strange days for us all.
Thanks mate. Doing well here. Everything is opening up and the state borders as well.
We now have a number of days with no new cv cases across Aus.
If your manual NC is boring
Imagine mine with dct transmission ! ;o)
Richard Blanchet - yes. I pity you. How can you live with yourself.
It's not easy, I feel like I've let my family down 😂🍻
exeter rider I feel the same as you but too late I’m spoiled
and can’t go back...
Honda NC750X Stuff I wear a mask 😷
@@richardblanchet9144 Yes we have limited choice for our next bike really....Goldwing perhaps if she lets me re-morgage!
Im doing the same on a 2stroke vespa, buddys are laughing.I have seen the trip from the netherlands to italy ,austria and all the way down to cote azur.Love the sense of humor.
You summed up the bike perfectly. The lean angle was ridiculous and never felt unsafe, which is probably dangerous. Could even get all my shopping in it with the tank space and top box. Only niggle I had was that the fuel cap was under the rear seat, so when it was loaded up, filling up was a chore, wish they had put it on the side like the bmw.
I love the sarcastic tone in your videos
Would you consider the DCT if it were availible over there? Kicking around the idea for touring but I've been riding since i was a kid and wonder if I'd miss the clutch
One of the reasons I bought the NC was it’s mechanical simplicity. If I was using the bike to commute in traffic DCT would be brilliant. But I only ride for pleasure.
So - no, the DCT isn’t for me.
I have the dct and when I go back and ride my other bike with a clutch it seems so labor intensive lol Dct forever in my life here 👍
Hello from Spain, thanks for tour videos, awaiting to get hands on my new Nc750x DCT from the dealer. I have two questions:¿ What brand and model of tyre is good for 90% good pavement Road and 10% very light off Road on good conditions? And , does you find necessary to install a rear Fender? Thanks
Tyres: I’ve been running Pirelli Scorpion Trail 2
Fender: not a fender, but a “mud flap” to protect the rear shock.
See my modification playlist. There is a vid of what I did.
@@AfricaTwin-Stuff thank you for your response and the very good and cheap idea!!
Good to see a video from you. I'm pretty happy with my boring bike too.
where did you find that song hahaha, i have wr250r. often taking trails at 60mph+. want to do minimalistic touring, as in not an 800lb bike. i think boring is just for me. love the cargo box in the front.
Love this and especially the drone video!
😎 👍 I must say, very well narrated mate, be well & ride safe.
Love the vid. Smiled & laughed all the way through.
This is just the video I needed as i'm in a horrible situation. I've had so many bikes over the years, but mostly sportsbikes, had a bit of everything from Super Blackbirds, Fazer 600's etc, enjoyed them all but 99% of my riding is commuting because the bike is my only transport. Years and years ago I had both a Triumph Speed Four and a Triumph TT600 and they cemented themselves as my favourite bikes of all time...so much so that I purchased myself an extremely tidy TT600 3 weeks ago and I was back in heaven, problem with these is they are bastards to do even the simplest of jobs on, they guzzle fuel, even after updating fuel maps, they have the terrible throttle response and lack of low down power that causes issues during every day road riding.
A few days ago a lady pulled right out from her driveway without looking and smashed into the side of me, my TT600 was a write off, as was her car so I'm proud of the bike for at least getting in its revenge before kicking the bucket. My insurance company dropped off a hire bike for me (that amazingly gets charged against her insurer, this is to make them hurry up and not drag their feet, works too).
The bike they dropped off was a 2019 NC750X, I've not had a chance to ride it yet, but I knew very little about them and have been watching your video's, and it seems the perfect ideal bike for me, once my leg and shoulder are a bit better I'll be able to take it for a spin, but watching this vid has made me realize that as much as I love those Triumphs, and those sorts of bikes, perhaps it's time I let them go and just let them be a memory, and that the NC750X is the most sensible and practical bike that ticks every single thing I need. Thanks for the video, I think the sarcasm and good old Aussieness of it all has helped me see sense over here in the UK!
Thanks mate. Hope you recover quickly and are on a bike soon.
Another UK NC owner got his after an accident wrote his bike off and he got an NC as a loaner. He wasn't on his bike when it was written off so I hope you have made a full recovery. Accident at 06:03 th-cam.com/video/TWT_INnoP2M/w-d-xo.html
Had a 2000 TT600 loved it but it tried to kill me every time I got on it. The fuel injection had some issues. I was tempted to get another but I think sometimes its best to leave past memories in the past. I bought a 2022 Street Twin. Very happy though since I commute I am keeping an eye non the NC750X and the Triumph Tiger 660, 850 for the next bike
😂 OMGoodness mate, I love love your sarcasm! The one bike that takes everything in its stride with no dramas, well engineered, easy maintenance. I’m looking at buying a second hand one, came to you looking for the down sides and ended up wanting to buy one more 😂🤣.
Ha! Serves you right. Thanks.
Your take on this bike is exactly what i was thinking it would be and the way you presented it had my laughing pretty hard. Great video!!
Thanks mate
Me too! Funny boring stuff!
I’ve just bought the DCT version, and it’s really boring in stop start traffic during my commute not having to feather the clutch constantly
It was quite boring waiting for you to post again, just to see that you're more or less ok and just bored out of yer skull. Now I can add to my boredom by watching this again at half speed- the dryness of the humor and sarc factor increases by the square. Thanks for the video scrapbook of past rides. All the best to you and your riding partner. Stay bored.
Thanks mate
I detect just a smidge of sarcasm here. I’ll be getting a NC750X as a second bike. I intend to use it for reducing mileage on my Diavel, and for when I work overnight in areas that motorcycle theft is a concern. I enjoyed the video, thanks!
Sarcasm? Me? Surely not!
please list the name of the background music! so soothing! I want to Alexa it.
I like your voice and posts so much. Probaby the coolest biker down under. Cheers from 🇫🇷
Thoroughly enjoyed that video. Watched the whole thing. Well done. I have Vstrom 650 I feel the same way about.
Yes. The Vstrom is very similar. Better in some ways too.
Im owning a Honda CB600F for 2 years now. It has 102HP at 12.000rpm. Im using it to ride in weekends with wife on 250-450km rides, chiling on twistie roads..mountaing passes and so on. The thing is i never using it at its full power...not even once in 2 years. I just want to relax and enjoy the scenery without full throtle and maximum speeds. I'm considering purchasing the NC750X and your videos help me alot. Thanks
Your point is very true. We can’t use all the power of most bikes in the real world.
I can use all of the power on the NC when I want to but it’s not overpowered. I can’t see the point of paying the fuel cost of dragging a 1000cc, 1200 or even 1800 engine around the world. If the NC had a lighter frame it would be even cheaper to run.
I love that bike and the space to keep helmet inside is very nice, but i need a bike for daily use in City and and im just 1,70m and a Light weight bike will be most indicated for me i think im going for Cb500x 2019 or 2020. What do you think?
Not my place to pick a bike for you. Go with your heart. But you might find the CB a bit more of a stretch for your legs unless you get it lowered.
Take into account that the centre of gravity is rather low with this bike, which makes it rather easy to handle, even though it's on the heavy side. You might want to check whether its height is ok for you. It's a narrow bike, especially around the knees, therefore you may be able to decend you feet lower than with wider bikes. Videos of short females, telling about their experience with the NC, are on youtube, though, and what they report sounds encouraging.
I already buy a new Cb500x and every day i ride and love it more. Thank you for share your know how
Great video, love my 2019 NC750X, it's a keeper. I picked up a 2020 VStrom 650 Adventure and still ride the NCX more. Great bike.
Fantastic, really enjoy your wit.. Keep it up :-)
Just drove my new (0 miles) 2019 NC750X home from the dealer yesterday. It's difficult seeing the dash (bright day). Is there a trick to making the dash more visible? I have no trouble seeing the dash on my 2012 NC700X.
The dash visibility is very poor in most sunny conditions.
@@AfricaTwin-Stuff Yes! I noticed that! I'm going to have to do something about that. Don't know what yet, but something. Easiest might be swapping the dash off another Honda. Brighter and bigger.
As bored as I was watching this video I boringly decided to buy this boring bike so I can be bored as well
How sad. I’m sorry for you 😢
@@AfricaTwin-Stuff 🤣🤣🤣🤣omg I almost died laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's interesting how motorcyclists always claim to band together in one big group hug of camaraderie but then there's some real snobbery when it comes to who is or isn't a "real" biker. Anyway, great review mate and I have to say that you are the king of deadpan sarcasm.
Thanks. Appreciated 🤓
Jag älskar din humor och dina yuotube-filmer. I want more!
Thanks mate. Lots more vids after this one …
Very nice description and I totally agree that most safe reliable bike not fun but for me as bigner I found it very useful and fun to drive it with confidence 💪🏾
252 / 5.000
After this video I ordered my NC750X DTC 2022, before I drove the BMW R1200RT, K1600B and S1000XR and I still have my classic Harley Softail Heritage and a BMW C400GT scooter. Should be exciting to experience long European trips with this versatile Honda, I look forward. Thanks for your movie, it convinced me!
I've been off my bike for a while, and had zeroed in on this one for a lot of your reasons as a new option. Having a same age person with multi bike experience and ownership of same bike is priceless for me. You pretty much withdrew the last hurdle to going out and buying one. Ta mate.
All the best for your future adventures
Id love to ride on those endless Australian dirt roads... cant be good for the chain tho, am I rite?
I've been looking into the NC750X for some time now currently still in the process of convincing the misses I do need a new bike to go to work (about 55km one way). Now with the new 2021 model announced would you recommend waiting for this one or go with the 2020 model? I would apreciate your opinion on this as I do enjoy your honest reviews in your channel.
Mine is a 2016 model - manual gearbox.
Poor sales in Oz means Honda Oz aren’t importing them anymore.
There are lots of excellent bikes available now, so choosing just one is almost impossible.
There are practical reasons to buy the NC, and the DCT version makes a lot of sense for commuting. I don’t see much benefit in the 21 version over the previous models. So price of a superseded model can be a factor. And the bike will last for ever. One owner has done over 220,000km to date (DCT version) with only routine maintenance.
But in the end, you should go with your heart as riding is about fun, not just practicality.
@@AfricaTwin-Stuff I can't help but think the DCT version takes a bit away of the actual motorcycle riding. I like shifting gears :) The price of the NC is also very good... I think I might just pop on over to the store on saturday and put my ass on one to see how she feels.
@@EmpZombie I would go with DCT if money isn't a factor. You can still shift the gears if you want with a couple of small paddles in manual mode. But always have an option of lazy driving in the auto.
@@chrisw4215 Thanks Chris but I went for the 2020 regular version...the dct just does not do it for me.
@@EmpZombie I hope you are happy. I'm torn between this bike and the new tracer 9
This guy's sarcasm cracks me up!
Is the bike good for riding 2-up? Most reviewers say it isn’t based on horsepower, but I don’t think they’ve ever tried it. I’m really leaning towards picking up one of these, but can’t find a definitive answer on riding with a passenger.
My wife has her own bike. So I can’t comment with authority. I know a number of long-term NC owners ride two-up.
Personally, I don’t think it’s ideal. Not from a power perspective but comfort for long trips.
Boring?? You don't know the meaning of the word. Took mine out the other day for a ride no more than 5 klm from home in this lock down. Now, that's boring.
Great video and you sum the bike up so well. Thank you
Hello from PORTUGAL !!!
I've been folowing our chanel for some time,
I'm 47, and I own a NC700xDct for 3 years now, and I simply agree with everything you say in this vídeo !👍😀👍😀
Greatings from this "side" of the world✌️✌️
Thank you for a very amusing video on the excellence of th Honda 759X. Loved it . I am restricted to what I can do on my 1200 GS. LOL.
I love this review! You have just given a word "boring" a new, more positive and likable concept.
I tested the NC few months back and loved how "boring" it was on that short ride. I own a farley "boring" retro classic (CB1100Rs) which I love, but of course it is a lot more "exciting" when it comes to luggage up, weather protection, weight handling, fuel economy etc. I am now selling it and planning to get my hands on this very "boring" NC750X coz I love to be "bored" ...in these terms definitely.
Thanks for the review, subscribed
Thanks for your kind words. Enjoy your new adventures.
I think you've done more to advertise this bike in under 15mins than Honda could do in 15 years! Great vid. Very enjoyable... and boring sounds absolutely perfect for a 1-bike owner like me. Cheers! 👌👍✌️
Thanks mate. Appreciate you commenting.
No bikes are boring, only the riders.
Some bikes are better than others at some specific activities.
I have an NC and it's grown on me.
I also have an S1000XR and that bike makes me go WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO every time I ride it
But the NC does 80mpg and preserves my licence
They both have their place.
So true. Thanks for your comments.
🏴 hi stuff
I pick up my new honda nc 750 x from Victor Devine in glasgow very soon hope i an as happy are you are👍
Good for you. Have a deep fried mars bar for me 🤢
Good decision except for once you realize that you will never want another bike and the Honda will never break down; you will never own another motorcycle 😂
This might be the best video I have ever watched about a bike.
I agree, I have seen a ton of really boring motorcycle videos of 20-30 mins each (not sure why people can't make a short informative video), and this one is the most clever and fun to watch. Sort of Frasier series :)
Thanks mate.
Nice video , i like .A brilliant way to present this bike... Grettings from france
Thanks mate.
Hills, forests, river, villages - hard to go wrong with that. I live in Toronto so for me it's 45 km of highways just to get out of the city. Your drone seems to have a decent range and a good video quality. Do you need a license to operate it?
Drone? No license required for a small drone in Oz. But regulations limit you to altitude of 120mtrs, it must be “in sight” at all times, cant fly over public areas or people.
Does the nc 750x, dct, have rear wheel foot brake?
Yes. Same as normal bikes. But it also has a park brake that acts on the rear and operates from the left handlebar.
Very nice review and fun. Thank you
🏴please tell me what you think of the 2021 honda nc 750x
2021? It won’t be coming to Aus. But it’s not for me as it’s more of a single purpose road bike than previous X’s.
I like the “all rounder” nature of mine.
Too street oriented for my taste it needs more of the xadv features. Maybe Honda will put out a baby Africa Twin in a few years?
@@AfricaTwin-Stuff Yes, if they are going to drop the suspension, go ahead and slap a shaft on it and switch the X to C for commuter.
Great sarcastic review man!! :) Thanks!
Saw the bike yesterday, liked it. But I still somehow want the CB500X. Did you try it?
Wendy has a 500X. It’s an excellent bike. And the 19” wheel version is even better.
look at the reviews first no too good
I had a boring NC for five boring years. It had a really boring mpg. Not suited at all for a country with exciting fuel prices like Portugal.
Have you made a video of it in DCT(auto) mode?
No. DCT for the NC isn’t available in Oz.
Love the review, it had me in stitches 🤣 due to pick one of these boring rides up myself soon. At 25 years old, I think I'll be one of the younger boring boys.
Arrr. You are wise beyond your years.
I bought my Honda NC750 last year, and as I saw the title of the video, I immediately went to the comment section with intention to write "you idiot, you have no idea about motorcycles" or something, but luckily, I held back and watched the video first! Great review man, I feel the same as you. I am enjoying my Honda all the way!
Ha! Good on you. Many others didn’t have the foresight.
Great vid mate it’s a Honda can’t be bad aye happy trails cheers
Best sales pitch ever!! I’m sold!!
Love your work only newly subscribes to your channel. Really in love with ya backyard (Gloucester and all back roads of the Hunter). Unfortunately I have the opposite problem...and extremely exciting bike (yam Mt10sp)...😜😧 However I paid a mechanic to.do the.valaves..cheers Gerry
Lucky you! Thanks mate
Is it as boring as the CB750 was. Too perfect ? Does it get buzzy on the interstate at 75 -80 mph?
The CB is exciting in comparison. See my review of both bikes.
No it doesn’t get buzzy on the highway.
Is this the DCT version? I’m 27 and looking to get this bike. I want to ride not look flashy for other....
No. It’s the manual.
I'm 64, got the DCT, and I love it.
Sold my 2020 NC750x last year to buy a CB1100 EX. Now i find myself wanting to swap back. But which boring bike to i pick? Another NC? Or a CB500x? Such boring options haha
Yep I've gone in 36 years from 80 cc to 650, 700, 1500, 150, 600, 1800, 1300, to the nc750, the sweet boring spot.
That was fantastic! Hard to stop chuckling!
I often consider getting another KLR or R100/7 just so I have something to tinker with over the weekend. In 18,000 miles on my 2018 NC, I have only changed tires and a chain, and a much belated valve clearance check was so boring....
