- I took out this Honda from a main Honda dealer. The bike was seriously buggered up from what looks like a small crash. How on earth does a dealer give somebody a bike to test in this condition?
Oh well. It still has its virtues and its tricks and it actually pretty cheap.

My NC is great, such a versatile bike, jack of all.
Nippy enough around town or load it up with givi boxes all round and head off (went on a seven month jaunt with mine) and nae bother getting parts as and when.
It may not inspire joy, but loyalty and trust go a looong way.
Yeah, a legendary commuter bike now and certainly capable of long distances in reasonable comfort. These now do well on the second hand market due to their practicality.

Watching this back - the particular bike was a bit knackered but it actually scored well and I can see what it actualy sells well.
I have this bike and I can tell you it is not slow nor boring. However you need to be mature enough to appreciate its quality and value. I challenge anyone with a Versys, Cb650,a Z650 and the lot to get away from me, good luck to you.
Believe it or not there are riders out there that are completely satisfied and don't feel embarrassed to own and love a 54 hp bike. And yes I've been riding on and off for 40 years anything from a 70cc Honda to a Z1000. I am not saying there aren't bike that will outperform the NC750S, however this bike will give you hundreds of thousands of trouble free miles for next to nothing. Go and get a valve adjustment done for a four cylinder in line and see how much the dealer charges you, the NC750S adjustment is so easy you don't need a dealership. And that's just one of many reasons.
By the way I own both a NC700S, 2013 with now 91000 km, and a 2014 NC750S with 16000 km best bang for the buck bikes out there, versatile, low cost,great fun.
Thanks HONDA 👍🏍❤
Safe rides and travels
All very good points. Honda make some great bikes.
Not sure you can out accelerate a versys 650, it has good low down pull being a parallel twin and will take you to 60 in under 5 seconds up to gear 2 or 3.
@@EinkOLED
Well, the Honda is also a parallel twin, also the Versys has a max torque of 64 at 7000 rpm whereas the Honda has 68 at already 4740 rpm. Just saying.....
I had both and I take the Honda over the Versys anyday and twice on Sundays.
Safe rides and travels 🏍👍
@@Herzankerkreuz67 I've ridden both and got the impression the NC750 was slower at accelerating, maybe due to the lower rev limit since it half a honda jazz engine. Anyway, it's a shame you feel that way about the versys, it is a very fun bike to ride with good suspension travel, my only criticism is the viby engine and prone to rust in places. However, both are well built quality bikes with similar purposes, but I think the honda is slightly more reliable and practical. Ride Safe
@@EinkOLED
One other reason I do prefer the Honda lies in the fact that the Honda carries almost double the amount of oil in the motor. The Versys only holds only two quarts....
I am a firm believer that oil is the key to engine longevity, the more the better and also the more frequent the oil changes occur the better.
I had the Versys 650 for a little over a year, not a bad bike and yes 'she's' comfortable. However I have made such good experiences with the two Honda's the NC700S and the NC750S that I might be too biased by now.....😬
I just posted that comment on acceleration because many think the NC bikes are slow, which is just not true. However I do admit that there are also many faster bikes in the 650 to 750 range.
However the NC bikes are an extremely good compromise between durability, user friendliness and easy of maintenance. Just to throw one more fact in ....the Versys has shims ( expensive and the overhead camshaft has to be removed) the Honda has just simply adjustment screws and valve clearance job is a piece of cake. Takes literally not longer than to brew a good coffee 👍
The bike seems to be realatively 'boring' but mostly that is because it is so capable. A real workhorse. It can get exciting when pushed but this is a bike meant for couriers and professional riders requiring a stable, robust and practical bike with no dramas.
I am in two minds - either the perfect bike or the worst!
That's the MK2, same as mine.
The latest MK4's got upgrades to the lighting, dash, paint quality, exhaust, clutch, gearbox, seat and the rev limiter's been raised to 7500.
Ah thanks. That will help but will still look somewhat poor compared to other bikes though, to be fair, at this price point it is still an excellent bike.
Do you know from what year does the Rev Limiter gets to 7500? And i read that it only was on the DCT version is that true?
@@docblizard Late 2018. It's on the manual version. You can rev it out more - about 12mph in every gear, significant improvement. Ignore the dash as it still shows the redline at 6500 - on the updated ones it just revs through it.
@@monck55 Oooh nice ! That's why i was confused looking at the dashboard's newer models, weird that they wouldn't update that tho. I'm so excited to get one
Anyone considering an NC should take a long test ride - they certainly grow on you.
Just surf all that strong torque from 1600 revs up - it means you don't need to rev the nuts off it (you can't anyway).
Once you've adjusted there's plenty of performance, and fun, to be had.
I liked it in the end, which Is why it got a good score, despite my model being a bit knackered. Super bike for the money, that is for sure.
That is my first bike. It is not a racebike, but for sure you can have fun on it and the power is enough to leave street legal speeds in a blink of an eye.
I love to ride it on twistie small roads, and yes I also use it for commuting where it shines.Put a laptop in the trunk, the helmet when you leave...
For small beginner riders however it could weight 20-30kg less... while you do not feel the weight riding, you will feel it when you have to push it in a dense lot.
Cracking bike. I need to get out on one again actually. I still say it is the perfect commuter motorcycle but, yes, of course, fun and decent action can still be had on it.

@@RevMonkey rumors say 2021 it will get a new 850 engine...
@@aGentleUser Wouldn't surprise me as most are making engines 100cc bigger to counter the losses by the stringent emissions regs.
Ade
@@aGentleUser The bike could do with some updating anyway really.
Looks like an awesome bike to me
It's a perfect bike for what it tries to do. Easy commuter. I'd go for the DCT version always. This particular bike had been dropped and was awkward to ride. I should never have been allowed to ride it.

Good review!
Not available in the USA
Ah, no idea. What a shame. Fairly mundane bike but excellent at what it tries to achieve.
Purely observational but you sound a bit like what I expect Joe Pasquale would sound like with a bike helmet on. Good review.
Ha, yeah, I have been told that a few times over the years. I think I go high when I get excited! :)
Ade
Ade, we haven’t heard from you for a while. Have you been away and what bike did you eventually buy?
In the end I didnt buy anything! Was having too much fun trying all these bikes out. Must have been on 20+ different bikes.
I still want to get on though night wait intil Spring now.
Nice review sir.. how about the throttle response at all rev range? Is it smooth and accurate?
Yeah, the bike is generally smooth all across the range which is why it is so perfect for commuting.
Ade
@@RevMonkey i heard this bike have low center of gravity.. Do u really feel the weight when u move the bike around in parking?
@@ilhamsabirin4673 Yeah, it is relatively lower due to position of the fuel tank.
I cannot recall weight being of any concern whatsoever, at parking, low or high speeds. It excels at what it it does, which is practical commuting or for motorcycle professionals.
Ade
Could they not give you the latest model?
Yeah, I was thinking that. They palm me off on the older bike and a busted one at that!
Like the looks of the x version but for 2 up the lack of power just killed the idea of getting one of these .
Good point. It really is pretty slow and unexciting. Of course, speed was not the aim of the manufacturer but it could have done with about 50% more power. As you say, pretty hopeless with a pillion.
Jesus, is this guy for real ????
@41:00 Can just imagine drivers going past thinking why is this guy just standing dead still and staring at his bike like this..
Ha, yeah, I often think that myself and try not to feel embarrassed. :)
Ade
Yuk. Should have taken it straight back and had a go at them. Prettyshocking really.
I was short on time :)
iv a sv 650 itl wip the ass of that and itl do 90 mpg if you do 40,ish on it, plus i had the 700 and it ate back tyres
Yeah, the SV is geared differently. it is more fun in most people's eyes. The NC is perfectly geared for easy commuting though.
Ade
@@RevMonkey ye but the Honda was pused over by a cow one day O.M.G whot a weight and it wore out back tyres so bad they looed difrent after just a few hours on the bike, i got road piolites 4, for my sv and the moulting bits on it were visab;e for weeks, the honda would have woren them off by the time id got into 6.th..
@@fredblogsmac.5697 Ah okay, good info. Fair point!
Ade
Painful to listen to.
Yes
Might be a perfect commuting bike when you dont want a back box and dont want to carry your lid everywhere. loks a bit bland in black.
I agree danny. If I was just looking for a simple to ride, practical bike where I have to think of nothing apart from steering and breaking then this is excellent. I'd get the DCT/automatic version.
Dont know why he starts the talking while stationary with his helmet on for that awful muffled commentary which isnt very clear through vid.Funny how he says power,Power,Power as he speeds up lol.A 750 but acting like a 500 at best id say but on the plus sides amazing mpg and helmet storage plus Honda,s great finish and reliability.
Yeah, super practical all-rounder.
Can we get English subtitles to your English?
Ha. Fair point and not a bad idea...
Ade
I think it the problem with the mic. Not English but could understand u quite well.
Appreciated the presentation. Tq
What gloves are those, please? 😎
Cool, aren't they!? :)
I got them from a Triumph dealer. I just searched and you can get them online. Bargain!

This bike would probably make a good courier bike but that's about it.... So bland.
Yeah, perfect for couriers actually and super easy in traffic situations. Looks a bit ill in the black, a twon tone color scheme would help but this bike was not built for fun, per se, I suspect.
That front lights just so ugly
Yeah, a bit. I have seen worse!
Ade
This is just the naked version of their boring but smooth NC700x. It's better to just get an fz07 or z650 hehe.
You're not wrong. It foesnt deliver uch in the way of thrills. People looking for fun over daily practicality should indeed be looking at other bikes.
Give me an MT 07 that i can properly ride at 190 cm :(
@@doctormclovin2634 I'm with you. (190cm+) My FZ6 Fazer was uncomfortable.
Wanted to get the NC750X Because of seat height, DCT and budget.
Got the CRF1000 DCT Africa Twin two weeks ago. A little over my budget but didn't regret it. :D
@@TonboTouring i wish you dry roads and no incidence guardian :D. I bought an MT-07, love at first sight and sounds, will do some "tall" rider modifications to it :D
@@doctormclovin2634SOunds like you need an Adventure bike. They are seriously tall.
4 minutes in and couldn't stand the voice any longer.
EEk, sorry to hear that. Was a shitty mic day which doesn;t help. Thanks for the feedback anyway.
Ade
This might even be too slow and boring for me :D
Ha
Apologies Ade but I switched off after 2 mins. I have no interest in this bike whatsoever. I can see its purpose but not I want in a bike. 🤓
Yeah, not my choice of biike either. I was pretty unengaged with it BUT, for what it does and its overall aim, it is a brilliant package.
Which Bike yeah it’s good for what it is. I’m an ardent TMF video viewer but I switch off when he tests a scooter 👀
@@hudsonrilke I switch off when Andy talks about £15000 plus being well priced. I am nearly 78 and my earning days are long gone !!
40+ older people??? Thanks 😊
