Ride Safe and keep Smiling when you feel the wind in your face
Getting ready to switch from my 2017 Versys 650 set up for my 5'7" height. It has been a flawless bike but very excited to get the 2024 NC750X DCT. Your experience with this wonderful bike certainly solidifies my choice....at 60 I'm certain this will be the last bike I will ever need. Thank you so much for your time & information.
Glad I could help, Ride Safe
Awesome!!! Congrats and all the best.
Thank you
Hey Mike,
Loved that in depth review. You are now quite adept at YouTubing. Love my 2017 NC too!!! Looking forward to you're future posts here. Take care from Trim, Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you for your kind words and yes it's a lot of work but hopefully in the end it will pan out for me. And please as always ride safe and enjoy that wind in your face.
Those Shad side cases are really good. I have a set. Your NC is the business. Keep it.
Thank you
Loved your new NC vid Mike, your travels make my recent trip round northern France from northern England look like a trip to the shops. Looking forward to more trips from both of us on the NC's. I think you should just carry on using the NC as long as you can. I've found there is something magical about the NC750X DCT which just makes you enjoy the ride more. It really is a case of - the whole is greater than the sum of the parts..
Ride safe and Ride happy.
Thank you very much for your comments and in my opinion riding us riding, if it puts a smile on your face, that's the most important thing.
Yes I definitely will keep the NC and ride safe
Nice info and a great bike…I have the older NC700x love it…keep riding brother…
Thank you for the kind words and same to you and ride safe
Thank you very much for such a detailed video, you have confirmed everything I think about the motorcycle and the use that I am going to give it, the idea of having two motorcycles instead of one is perfect, I hope I can meet you some day, greetings from Spain .
Thank you for your kind words,much appreciated. always interested to meet fellow Riders. Ride Safe
Another Honda NC 750x dct video, love these :)
Thank you very much and hope to do more in the future. I'm currently riding my CRF for a few weeks but in December big trip to Vietnam for 20 days on my NC.
Appreciate your watching and comments
New screen. You’ve got nothing to prove, you know where you’ve been and cherish those special memories of all those amazing places. Why hold onto sentimental objects. Ride safe👍🏻👍🏻
Appreciate your comments and thank you very much.
Ride Safe
Excellent review Mike. It is a great bike indeed. Mine has only 25.000km 2020. So plenty of fun ahead.
Regards
Thank you very much for your comments they are very much appreciated and yes you have lots of fun to go at least 10 times more!!! Enjoy
Good stuff Mike. Enjoyed the review.
Well I'm sure one day you'll be there with that type of mileage and most likely some of the same thoughts. I always appreciate your videos on the maintenance side especially since I am not good at that part, mainly because things are quite inexpensive here when it comes to labor. Take care and ride safe
You have great idea for nc x i love it 👍
Thanks for watching
Excellent review. Some day I hope to be able to say the same about my NC750x and of course myself 😊
Thank you very much for your kind words just got back from Vietnam and my NC now has 263,000 km hope you can give me a good review on that one they'll be more Vietnam videos coming soon
The compass takes me back to bicycling around London in the 90s ... glance at the A-Z, and a rough bearing, and away you go. Definitely saved me from heading East when I was meant to be going North a few times, especially at night. Off to Amazon to find one for the KTM now! 👍
Thanks for watching and hope you find the right compass size. It's definitely something that should be included or incorporated into an adventure bike that and an altimeter would be very helpful.
Hello Mike. Nice video. Have a good trip.
Thank you very much and comments are very appreciated, Ride Safe
Very interesting Mike. I also have a CRF250L in UK and hope to have something similar when I retire to Sisaket. I think you’re Ubon way. I love the Ubon countryside especially east and north around the Mun and Mekong areas. Ride safe👍🏻👍🏻
Yes very beautiful area and you are approximately 45 km from my home and I go there often for breakfast when I'm around at Hong Kong garden. Hit me up when you get back to Thailand and ride safe
Hello Mike greetings from the UK. Just came across your brilliant channel. I have a new NC manual version on order so have a lot of catching up on your vids. I did try the lovely transalp but felt it was too high for me, I am 5ft 7". ride safe
Appreciate your comments 🙏, it just keeps on going, now 269,000 .
Enjoy your New Ride and Ride Safe
Lol first thing that came to mind was that Who movie Quadrophenia the lights and mirrors on that gs scooter, I'm thinking seriously about getting one of these. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching and I hope the lights weren't too blinding!!!!!
Thanks for sharing
Lovely stuff...Makes me love my NC all the more @ 162344kms
Nice, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do because it just gets better with age!!!
Ride Safe
@@mikefreeriderAsia Its always inspiring watching your content. likewise be safe, ride safe.
I have the exact same bicycle style bags I bought last year after researching many possibilities on Amazon. I use them on my cb500x light bars, one for flat repair tools and the other for flashlight and misc. items. I like the way you hang them on the lower bar for low weight distribution...I will try that.
Thank you for your comments, Ride Safe
Nice video. I have 2022 and i know from 2021 they have lowered the bike with 1 - 1 1/2 inches...something like that. 23 Liter frunk and 4-5 more horsepower. I just Love it too. :)
Yes , lots of little improvements and thank you for watching and hopefully you subscribe. Ride safe
Greatings from Lisbon Portugal ✌️✌️
Thank you, have a great day
Incredible ! Too much km with this nc750x. Mine is only 50000km in 8years. Here in Reunion island it is a small island and can’t do road trip. In 1 days you do the round of Island. Nice to follow you in TH-cam. Ride safe. Bye !
The most important thing is that you enjoy what you do and I thank you for your kind words, Ride Safe
Your old windshield is a trophy 🏆 , Put it on the Wall in a glass case with a picture of the NC ,, I suspect Honda would love to display it in a Honda Hall Of Fame,, 259k ,, awesome ,, I'm reviewing Bikes Now, This Review Says volumes, Thanks And Be Safe,, Subbed for future videos as well
Thank you very much for your kind words, just reached 272,000 km and she still rides great.Ride Safe
Your videos made me consider buying a honda nc750x dct, I went to my honda dealership today and placed an order on a 2023 model. Theyre expected for january/february (if lucky) so now being patient and wait: ) hope i'll enjoy it as much as u do. Theyre hard to come by nowadays and no test models available where I live. Time will tell :;)
Well I would say congratulations and I'm almost envious but I will wait for mine to wear out, maybe I'll be worn out first!!!
Yes this model is becoming very popular around the world and even in Thailand not easy to get the new models.
Please let me know how you enjoy the bike when you get it and for sure ride safe
@@mikefreeriderAsia I will keep u up to date, hopefully they actually get here by january/february. Early enough to get it ready for summer. Channels like yours are the thing that sells these things lol.
Very impressive Km for a bike, says a lot for the build quality.
It's way beyond my expectations that's for sure firstly I never thought I would ride that much and when I reached the first 100,000 km I was thinking about buying another bike and I did buy the Honda x - ADV but then I went back to the NC because it's just more comfortable for my style, appreciate your comments
Очень похоже на сказку .260т.км : 7 лет. С 2015года. Выходит 37 т.км в год- каждый год! И по 3000 км в месяц- каждый месяц. По 100 км в день-каждый день! Хочется спросить а ты вообще слезал в седла то или спал в пути?)))
Hi from NZ. Bought one last week here. As you will be aware we only have manual. Traded my VFR800 of 14 years. Really enjoying the NC. Great video. I think Honda should just give you a new one based on your km you've put on it!!
Thank you very much for your kind comments. I actually rode a manual in New Zealand approximately 4 years ago on a Honda Sponsored Trip , and it was quite awesome trip. You really do have a beautiful country for riding. Since that time I have entertained quite a few Kiwis coming to Thailand for touring, there are quite a few videos on my channel.
Since this video I have now 275,000k and I doubt that Honda knows of my existence. I'm still riding my NC but more and more riding my CRF 300 Rally, especially if I cross over into Laos or Cambodia. Again thanks for watching.
@@mikefreeriderAsia Glad you enjoyed our paradise😃 I'm touring the South Island on my NC in March for 3 weeks. Yes I heard you mention you had been here and had Kiwis visit you. If I am ever over your way I'll certainly touch base! I will check out your other vids. Safe and happy riding mate.

Great motorcycle
Great video
Thank you 🙏
Bravo, pour votre vidéo, je ai moi aussi une nc750x et votre vidéo me met du baume au cœur encore bravo, bonne et longue route, amitié
Merci beaucoup.
Wow that's awesome, today me some friends went for a 350klm ride, i was the only one riding an NC, and guess what, i was the only one who went and came back, on the same tnk of fuel, with some left in it when i parked it in the garage! She just turned 25600klm, and i tought to myself, well i wonder how long i will keep this bike, but at the same time, why should i sell the thing? Its paid for, its reliable, fuel efficent, not the fastet one but keeps up great with most others...So you know what, i ll keep it!! 😂😂😂Have a great one Mike!
Awesome, thank you very much for the message it's always appreciated to hear from another NC Rider and especially being Canadian. So ride safe
love nc750 machine i use xadv for commuter grest user!
Found your video last night. This Saturday I'm taking a 2018 cb500x and a 2018 NC750x out for a test ride. I'm 5'6" and had(have) some concerns about my shorter legs for the 750x. In many ways it seems to be a bike better matched for what I like over the 500x. Now I'm less concerned. Still need to test ride it to see how it really feels in the wind. Hope she is still serving you well and hoping it is a bike that works for me. The dealership actually has the 750x priced cheaper than the 500x which makes it even more appealing.
Good luck with the test rides, the lower center of gravity on the NC as a big plus for short Riders. And yes she is still going strong at 274500 km
You sound like you might be from New England? I'm 71 and looking carefully at a 2022 nc750x DCT. I liked your vid. Thank you
Actually New England is one of my favorite places in America but I'm actually from the Ottawa Canada area and now retired in Thailand. In my youth I skied all of the New England area competing and hiked Mount Washington many times. You have some pretty awesome roads down there and that's an area that I would like to go back and ride someday. If you have any questions just ask and ride safe.
Mike, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed your video on the Honda NC dct. Concise, full of wisdom, and always inspiring. Ride safe brother.ItchyBoots made it to Alaska on her Honda 300 Rally. Noraly is amazing.Could you advise what general area you are in?. Always be safe brother,& Happy Trails,phil🇺🇲🍀👍
Thank you for the kind words, I am currently living in Rural Thailand 30K from Ubon Ratchathani . There are expats all over Thailand with lots that love to Ride. Itchy Boots doing a great job and very inspiring for sure. Reach out anytime if you have questions , I do my best to answer. Ride safe
@@mikefreeriderAsia Thx Mike,all the best. Have a great time on your tour.Stay safe.
That's right.
I have Same Bike, they Are Good 👍
When I get my NC I join you on trip
Amazing thailand? Yes because of your high mileage motorbike thailand got something amazing 😆
You can polish that screen to remove the dullness. Something like Brasso, or polishing compound will do it.
I actually tried that and could not get it clear not even semi clear, the sun here in Thailand is very strong. But thank you for the suggestion and I even tried to heat it as well.
You keep and secure your previous windscreen at home and display it on the shelf. Find a tripod for it.
Good Idea
U are welcome to Malaysia..
I've actually been to Malaysia at least four times on my NC,
There is definitely good riding in the North
Hi, Mike
Thank you for your another series review on NC 750X now traveled 259000 km, the previous 229000 km. Why not 230000 and 260000 km?
I am going to get a NC 750X. Now I ride R1200GS, which is too big for me a retired 69 years young. Hope to meet you sometime. From Korea
Thanks for watching but when I did the videos actually I was at those kilometers so there was no point to say a number which it was not reached yet. I hope you enjoy your new ride I am currently in Vietnam feeding a group. Ride safe
@@mikefreeriderAsia Thank you for your sincere reply. Ride safe and happy
Hej Mike !
Självklart ska du montera tillbaka den gamla vindrutan
Låt så grabbarna på Honda verkstaden polera den.
Tack för dina trevliga filmer.
Mvh
Hans in Sweden
Thank you for your thoughts , I tried to polish it , heat it , and nothing works to clear the foggy look, most likely , I will put back the old one , looks better in my opinion.
What an awesome story and bike, and person! I bought a used NC this weekend - looking forward to getting some miles on it. How did you install the pop fasteners on the panniers?
Thanks for watching, regarding the panniers , they were installed by a dealer in Bangkok.
Could you be a little bit more specific on your question, thank you.
Congratulations for your many trips.
I see you put à engine hoist SW Motech, where you buy this, please
I purchased everything in Thailand, but there are companies now that produce the same engine protector at much cheaper prices but you would have to check on the internet and the guest depends where you're from. Thanks for your message
Hang the old screen on your wall, you vision is way more important. God Bless and keep the rubber side down. BTW I own a 2020 NC750X Manual and absolutely love it.
Thank you very much for your comments, enjoy your NC and Ride Safe
Great videos great t motorcycle. Can you Tell us what brand and size off road tires you put on?... Thank you...for your job...
Currently I am riding on tkc80 front and tkc70 rear. But I did do a dedicated video on all the tires that I used on my NC which is now over but my favorites are continental

Greetings from Norway.
Honda should give u a new bike:-)
Honestly I still enjoy riding this motorcycle, when I reach 300,000 I was hoping that Honda what do a big check up on my bike, but it's hard to get them interested.
Hello Mike, Congratulations for all your travels. How many thermostats did you change on the motorcycle in these kilometers?
Thanks for watching and regarding thermostats, I have never changed a single one on any of my bikes.
@@mikefreeriderAsia Thanks for your answer! We definitely have a reliable and excellent machine.

What about the new nc750x 2023 ?
Cheers from new Zealand 🇳🇿
I've seen the 2022 model which is very similar but dropping the height was not the best if you want to do off-road. But I understand that in New Zealand the DCT model is not available. I went there on a trip with Honda a few years back and rode through the Nevis valley on a NC 750 X manual, it was awesome. Thanks for watching and hopefully you will subscribe
New screen , preserve the old
Thank you
What year model this is? How much better tires can get for this bike compared originals? Is that worth of money buying better tires (if have better than originals) ?
Thanks for watching my NC is a 2014 purchased in 2015 and yes the stock tires we're terrible and I believe they were Dunlop's. I did a review on tires that I used on my NC and that was I think 14 sets so please check it.
Mike, did you change engine timing chain, if yes, what was the mileage?
No , but I'm going in for a major checkup before I go to Vietnam for 20 day trip in 10 days. I will also get a valve adjustment, new chain and sprockets, new front tire, oil change with filter, air filter and we'll get everything inspected
@Mike FreeRider Gagne Hey Mike, how's going ? NC750X DCT Still running, or bites the dust ?
Bike is running great and just finished a trip in Malaysia, a 3-week adventure with over 6,000 km and now at 271,000 km .
Thanks for watching
I looking at buying a NC 750 , are they reliable for long trips
Hi John, well in my opinion it is definitely reliable!!! My longest trip was to mount Everest base camp in Tibet, and we rode from Bangkok, 12,000 k in 32 days. And that's when my motorcycle was over 75,000 km and it ran perfectly. Can say that for all the other bikes that were on the trip. I've also taken it to Malaysia from Thailand I never had any issues. Good luck with your purchase.
I am currently at 272,000 k
Hi, is it safe to buy a used NC750X DCT? I'm planning to make this my first bike but I don't have a lot of money. It's not a money pit right?
Just do your due diligence, if it has been serviced properly should be no issues, mine has 275,000 km and still runs great.
Keep the new windscreen on the bike and put your old one on a wall for a souvenir.
Thank you for your comment and basically that's what I've done,
Thanks for watching
Good morning, I was looking to buy one in uk. All off them I seen are rusty everywhere? I don't know way?
Well I have very little rust on mine but I live in Thailand and if you live in the UK and you ride in the winter you have to deal with the road salt which is really bad for motorcycles. I'm sure you will find one in good shape as it's a very big market for NC and the best of luck to you
@@mikefreeriderAsia Thank you, I got an V-strom 650 at the moment
@@peterpanci78 that's a great bike, enjoy
@@mikefreeriderAsia thank you
Hi, how often do you check valves clearance?
On your Honda NC 750x
As per Honda recommended schedule which I believe is 24,000 km
salut
je voulais savoir si tu avais eu des problemes avec le dct
car on vois des videos ou des personnes montre des des problemes de dct
Aucun probleme, merci 🙏
The key to successful DCT is to make sure you have good functioning battery. Thanks for watching
Wow that was cheap for the water pump replacement.
Thanks for your comments, yes the labor charge is in Thailand are quite inexpensive even some of the most expensive would be charging about $15 per hour then maybe some others a little bit more like Ducati or BMW. And Canada that's at least a hundred bucks an hour
New wind shield
Thank you and yes I did install the new windscreen and kept the old one.
Thanks for watching
Tracer700 yerine nc’yi tercih ettik,herşey fazlasıyla var, Tabiki en almaya değer motor,büyük cc en düşük yakıt tüketimi,ön bagaj,en yaygın servis ve bayi ağı,en güçlü 2. El,ısınmama,şehir dışı olduğu gibi şehir içindede kolay ve rahat kullanım,uygun işletim maliyeti,düşük devir konforlu kullanım ve sağlam uzun ömürlü motor bloğu,eşsiz dct teknolojisi,iki gaz vermeyle gaza gelmeyin mantıklı olmak gerek bu devirde
agree 100% , thank you for your comments, Ride Safe
Mount the old on a wall.
Old windscreen ... more character.
Thank you , I agree
